4. Print 3 labels for each service you intend to use using the developer key and send to Fedex for certification
The final step in the FedEx Web Services certification process is a label evaluation. You have to create test labels for the specific services that are applicable to your situation. The FedEx Express, Ground, and Home Delivery label evaluation team requires three (3) test labels for each service you are going to use in production. These 3 labels can be simply 3 printouts of the same label. You can use any addresses/weights.
Please use WayToShip Manager to generate the labels for easy printing.
Assuming your cart integration is up and running simply place one test order for each service you are going to use and generate shipping labels by clicking on WayToShip Manager "Generate labels" button:
Print 3 copies of the generate labels on the printer you intend to use for production label printing.
Please download, fill in and print out the label certification cover sheet and mail the printed labels and the cover sheet with Fedex to:
|
FEDEX EXPRESS WHQ-Global Scanning Solutions Barcode Analysis 3690 Hacks Cross Road, Bldg. I Memphis, TN 38125 |
FEDEX GROUND/HOME DELIVERY FedEx Ground Barcode Analysis 1000 FedEx Drive Moon Township PA 15108 |
Please note that labels for ground and express services should be mailed to two different location. Make sure include a cover sheet with each.
The certification process takes about 48 hours.
