WooCommerce FedEx Shipping Method
WooCommerce FedEx Shipping Method connects a WooCommerce store to the FedEx API so customers can see carrier rates at checkout. It suits US or Canadian stores with a FedEx account, accurate product dimensions, and a need for domestic, international, or freight quotations.

Overview
WooCommerce FedEx Shipping Method is focused on one part of fulfillment: calculating FedEx shipping prices during the cart and checkout process. It uses the store’s product data, package details, origin, and destination to request rates from the FedEx API, then lets the merchant choose which services shoppers can see. That makes it more suitable for stores already committed to FedEx than for merchants seeking a multi-carrier shipping dashboard. The main planning constraint is geographic and account-related. The documentation requires US or Canadian Dollars and a store base country of the United States or Canada, as well as FedEx credentials. Product weights and dimensions are important because both the API calculations and built-in box packing depend on them. The extension can quote domestic and international parcels and includes settings for FedEx Freight, but Freight rates need the recipient’s city and are intended for heavier, generally palletized shipments. This is not a built-in label-printing workflow. Labels must be purchased from FedEx or handled through a separate label extension, so merchants should map the checkout-rate process and fulfillment process separately.

Compatibility and setup context
- Requires a WooCommerce store based in the United States or Canada and using US or Canadian Dollars.
- Requires a FedEx account and API credentials; new integrations use the REST API, while existing SOAP users need SOAP installed on the server.
- Products intended for shipping should have weights and dimensions entered for more reliable API and box-packer calculations.
- The shipping method must be added to a WooCommerce shipping zone before rates can be offered.
- The marketplace lists PHP 7.4, WordPress 7.0, and WooCommerce 10.8 as minimum requirements, and lists testing with WordPress 7.1 and WooCommerce 11.0.
- The marketplace lists compatibility with Cart and Checkout Blocks and High-Performance Order Storage; verify the current configuration on staging before deployment.
