Getting Started with FedEx Integration

Important:

NetSuite Ship Central is NetSuite's standard shipping solution. For more information, see NetSuite Ship Central.

The Shipping Integration with FedEx, UPS, and USPS/Endicia is not available to new customers. It is available with limited support only for existing customers before they transition to NetSuite Ship Central.

For more information about transitioning to NetSuite Ship Central, including the self-service procedure, see Upgrading from Integrated Shipping to NetSuite Ship Central (SuiteAnswers ID 1015202).

Depending on business requirements, you can use the ShipStation Connector in NetSuite Connector as an alternative. For more information, see Managing the ShipStation Connector in NetSuite Connector.

For more information about selecting the best shipping solution for your needs, see Comparing NetSuite Shipping Options (SuiteAnswers ID 1046701).

FedEx Integration lets you connect your NetSuite account directly to your FedEx account.

When you fulfill orders with FedEx integrated shipping, FedEx charges your account for the shipment. NetSuite saves the tracking number with the item fulfillment.
