FEDEX Shipping Rates Wrong

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I just read on Fedex site about their FEDEX Direct options.  One is an API, which I assume TECHNO GEEK is refering to in his/her earlier post.

 The following is copied directly from Fedex's web site:

"Communication can be established to send FedEx XML Requests to and receive FedEx XML Replies from the FedEx server by the following

methods:

� via a secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) utilizing the FedEx Direct solution

� via the FedEx Ship Manager API solution"

SalesCart has apparently implemented the API method in SalesCartNet.  SalesCart PRO's Fedex implementation appears be outdated(if not completly useless).  Is SalesCart planning on providing a "usable" Fedex solution for PRO using the platform indepent XMLHTTPS or will that be a customer reponsibility to implement?

	The answer is......... Edit the file yourself and enter the codes in that are in the pdf for your zone....manual....but it works! The updated ANSWER is ........ Delete FEDEX from you list of options! Don't forget to kill the generic FedEx records in the Shipping DB or you'll end up with FedEx Economy @ $14 as the customers first option! Thank's for the pointer on that Will! Edited by jkc101

	Yes, FedEx changes everything. We implemented the FedEx API with SalesCart NET only. There is no way to do this with the Standard, PRO or SQL versions now.

	I just noticed the Fedex rates are off. I tried to download an ascii file from them...and they don't offer that any longer. Now where can I get the correct zone chart? Thanks!
