Component Methods

Subscription Request - This is a one-time request, meaning that a customer needs to subscribe to the FedEx services only once. A unique meter number specific to the customer’s FedEx account number will be returned to the client.
Rate Request - As a courtesy to our customers, FedEx will provide an estimated shipping charge for a shipment if requested. The "courtesy rate quotes" returned are only estimates and may differ from the actual amount invoiced depending upon the specific circumstances regarding the shipment.
Rate Available Services Request - Rate Available Services provides the ability to send a single request in order to receive the FedEx service(s) available and corresponding courtesy quote(s) for your package, service, and origin/destination criteria.
Ship Request - This request generates a shipment label in png format for printing on plain paper or in eltron format for printing on a thermal printer.
Ship Delete Request - This request deletes a shipment label from the FedEx system. You must run this request on the day that the shipment label has been created.
Close Request - This service allows a customer to close out all shipments made for the day. Closing is a function to be used only for FedEx Ground shipments. Customers cannot cancel any shipments once they are closed out. However, shipments can be added to a day's shipment after a close has been performed and multiple closes can be performed in a day.
Track Shipment Request - Tracks a package that has been scanned by a FedEx courier

Component Notes

To use this component you must first register with FedEx to get an account number. After you get an account number the next step is to get a meter number by running the "Subscription Request" explained in the first bullet above.

To generate live shipment labels you must go through a certification process. Please contact your local FedEx representative for more information on gaining certification for your printed shipment labels.
