11.At this point, you should see a message indicating that your project was created. Click Okay, and you will be taken to the project overview page.

12.On this overview page you can access your test credentials. The fields you’ll need later are the API Key, Secret Key, and Account.

13.FedEx now separates its Tracking API and Shipping API, so you will need to create an additional Tracking account if you would like to take advantage of this feature. If you want to enable FedEx tracking through DLCPM, complete steps 5-10 again, but in step 7 select Track API instead of Ship, Rate & other APIs.

Once you have your test credentials, you are ready to create your production keys. These are the keys that you will be using to create actual shipments.

1.First, check if you have an existing Shipping Account. You can see this by clicking Manage Organization on the left-hand sidebar and then selecting the Shipping Account tab. If there are no Shipping Accounts listed, create one by clicking Add Account.

3.Once you have created a valid Shipping Account, navigate back to the API project overview page and select the Production Key tab. Enter a Name and select the Account number from the drop-down list, then click the Next button.

4.You will be taken to a screen containing your production keys. ***Be sure to save these keys somewhere, as you won’t be able to access the secret key again after navigating away from the page.

5.If you plan to use the FedEx tracking feature with DLCPM, complete steps 1-4 again with the Tracking project you created in the last section.

FedEx requires that all customers certify their integration by printing a series of shipping labels, scanning those printed labels, and sending them in to be verified. They do this to ensure that your printer is capable of printing valid shipping labels.

a.The FedEx 9-Digit Account Number must be your Production account number, not your Test account number.

b.Leave the FedEx Production Meter Number field blank.

c.Enter your Production API Key in the FedEx Production Authentication Key field. If you created both a Shipping and Tracking project, you only need to enter the API Key from the Shipping project.

d.For Are you using Third Party Solution?, select No. Leave the Third Party Solution Name field blank.

e.In the Label Image Type field, check either ‘ZPL’ or ‘PDF’.

f.In the Services Requested field, check Express and Ground.

3.Open your lab in the resulting list by clicking the pencil icon, click on the Shipping Carriers tab, and then select the FedEx sub-tab.

Once the FedEx certification team receives and certifies your labels, your production keys will be authorized to transmit shipping information and you will be notified by email.
