The FedEx API connection integrates FedEx with nShift Delivery. To activate it, register for API credentials using your FedEx account number, then add those credentials to your sender configuration.

Key concepts

Child key — the API user ID issued after FedEx API registration

Child secret — the API password issued after FedEx API registration

Parent credentials — platform-level credentials that FedEx child credentials are linked to; managed by nShift, not required from you

Before you begin

  • Have your FedEx account number ready.

Register for the FedEx API

Register to receive the child key and child secret needed to configure your FedEx integration.

Steps

  1. Go to the FedEx registration form

  2. Enter your FedEx account number and complete the form

  3. Submit the form

Result

Your child key and child secret are issued after the form is processed.

Note

Make sure the details you enter match your FedEx account. If you have an existing FedEx account, use your existing account number. If you encounter issues during registration, contact FedEx directly.
