FAQ

Questions? Answers.

How do I set up FedEx shipping in Fulfil?
To set up FedEx in Fulfil, navigate to Configuration → Carriers, click 'Add Carrier', and select FedEx. You'll need your FedEx account credentials and API access. The setup typically takes 30 minutes.
Can I use FedEx for both Shopify and Amazon orders?
Yes, Fulfil's ERP automatically imports orders from Shopify, Amazon, and other channels. You can ship all these orders using FedEx, compare rates with other carriers, and sync tracking information back to each sales channel automatically.
Does FedEx integration support rate shopping?
Yes, Fulfil's FedEx integration provides real-time rate shopping. When you're ready to ship an order, the system queries FedEx for available service levels and displays rates side-by-side, allowing you to select the most cost-effective option.
Can I print FedEx shipping labels from my WMS?
Yes. Fulfil's WMS generates FedEx shipping labels automatically during the packing workflow. Labels can be printed in PDF, PNG, or ZPL format for thermal printers. The system also supports batch label printing for high-volume operations.
Does tracking information sync automatically?
Yes, once a FedEx label is generated, tracking numbers are automatically synced to your orders in Fulfil. For Shopify and Amazon orders, tracking information is pushed back to the sales channel, triggering automated customer notification emails.
Can I use my own FedEx account and negotiated rates?
Yes, Fulfil integrates with your existing FedEx account, so you continue to benefit from any negotiated rates or discounts you've secured. You simply provide your FedEx API credentials during setup.
Can I pre-generate FedEx labels to speed up fulfillment?
Yes, Fulfil can automatically generate FedEx labels when orders start picking or get packed. This is done through automation rules that trigger label generation in the background, so labels are ready by the time the shipment reaches the packing station. This significantly speeds up your fulfillment workflow.
How does rate shopping work with FedEx?
Fulfil's rate shopping compares FedEx rates against other carriers by considering shipping addresses, package weights and dimensions, special services, and base rates (including surcharges and discounts). This ensures an accurate, apples-to-apples comparison so you can select the most cost-effective shipping option.
Can I add shipping insurance to FedEx shipments?
Yes, Fulfil can automatically set insurance amounts on FedEx shipments using automation rules. You can configure insurance as a fixed amount, percentage of shipment value, or percentage of shipment cost. The insurance is applied before the label is generated.
Does FedEx integration support batch label printing?
Yes. Fulfil's WMS allows you to batch multiple shipments together and print all FedEx labels at once. You can print in PDF, PNG, or ZPL format, making it compatible with both standard and thermal label printers for high-volume operations.
