To show FedEx rates only when customers select shipping in our widget, we recommend integrating FedEx in the Rates tab of Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery.
For any questions about the rate value, please contact FedEx—we only show the rates they generate.
Integration steps will be slightly different, depending on the Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates version that you're using:
Requirements
You will need to have an active account with FedEx.
You will need to log in to your FedEx account and follow the FedEx Web Services guide to get your production keys.
You will also need your Authentication/API Key, Account Number, and Meter Number—these can be found at the end of your registration process.
Enable FedEx with Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates
Our latest rates feature allows merchants to use Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates without needing access to Shopify Carrier Service API. Take a look at our Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates article for more details.
To integrate FedEx with Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates, please add FedEx in Shopify. Any rates in Shopify that are not set up within Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery will be seen as shipping rates. This will ensure that your customers see discounted rates provided by FedEx.
Disable FedEx with Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates
If you no longer want to use calculated shipping by FedEx, then you can disconnect your FedEx carrier account from your Shopify admin.
Enable FedEx rates with Carrier Service API
When using Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery with Carrier Service API, our app does not have the ability to show discounted Shopify rates—only Shopify can offer discounted rates. Please use our latest rates feature to take advantage of the discounted Shopify rates. Take a look at our Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates article for more details.
