To obtain your FEDEX Test API credentials:

1. Register for a FedEx developer account if you do not already have one.
2. Click on the "My Projects" link in the left menu.
3. Click on the large orange "Create API Project" button.
4. When the "Tell us about your API needs" popup displays, choose the option "I work for a company that Ships with FedEx and needs to integrate FedEx APIs into their system".
5. On the Step 1 - Select API(s) for your project screen, select "Ship, Rate & Other APIs".
6. Scrolling down on that same screen is a list of all APIs.  Check the "Rates and Transit Times API" and optionally (Ship API) if you will be printing labels as well.
7. On the Step 2 - Configure project screen, give your project a name (does not matter to UltraCart) and select your country.  There are two options as well:
   1. Do you plan on shipping using FedEx SmartPost Returns - UltraCart does not support processing returns through the FedEx API.
   2. Do you plan on shipping using FedEx Freight LTL - select Yes or No depending on your need.
8. On the Step 3 - Confirm details screen, check both boxes.
9. When finished, you will be redirected to your Project screen where you will find your development API Key, Secret Key, and Account Number.   Record those values.

Production API Credentials

1. Visit the FedEx Developer Portal, then navigate:
   Menu → My Projects → Click on your project  → Production Key tab ( this is at the top of the screen below "API Project overview")
2. On the Configure Project screen, provide a Key name (UltraCart does not care about this name) and choose your Account Number.
3. The next screen titled Production keys will display your API key and Secret key.   Record those safely, as you will not see the secret again.  You should also have your Shipping Account which is easily viewed from your project page at any time.

Now that we have our Test and Production API credentials, we can configure them within UltraCart.

1. Web Service Environment (Choose either: Test or Production)
   *Select test during the Label Certification then switch to Production after the Label Certification step is completed.

2. Sender Label Type: Choose "4x6" or "Half Sheet" and also optional setting "( packing slip with 4x6 label)"
   

   Tip
   There are two types of labels that FedEx can print (half sheet and 4x6).  Most merchants get a Zebra LP2844 label printer and print the 4x6 labels.  The signature type option allows you to control how the customer will be required to sign for the package.  The label reference allows you to print custom fields 1-5 on the label.

   
   

3. Signature Type: Choose "Indirect", "Direct", or "Adult"
4. Include Clearance Entry Fee (Checkbox field)
