FedEx Shipping Manager

Extension for FedEx Shipping allows you to create FedEx Shipping Labels in three modes:

  • Fully Automatic mode – automatic creation simultaneously with orders submit;
  • Bulk mode - bulk creation directly from the Orders’ page;
  • Manual mode - manually create shipment(s) and then generate label(s);

Fully Automatic creation of the FedEx Shipping Labels, as soon, as order submitted:

First of all, you have to check out the filling of all configuration info in the Configuration Page (System->Configuration->left menu column->Sales ->FedEx Shipping labels). Please, be sure, that labels create with your settings in Manual Mode.

  • Go to: Sales->Orders

On the Order’s page, you can see FedEx labels statuses for all orders.

In the Configuration page set in the block Automatic labels creation – “Enable=Yes”.
Now, when the customer submits an order, the extension creates shipment and FedEx shipping labels, by default settings in Configuration.
Note, that in Automatic Mode:

  • Labels will be created on the base of default settings;
  • Will be created only 1 Shipment per order with all products;
  • Will be created as many Packages and label(s), as was set in Configuration.

Bulk creation of the FedEx Shipping Labels:

First of all, you have to check out the filling of all configuration info in the Configuration Page (as described in Fully Automatic mode).

  • Select orders for which you want to create labels;
  • In the drop-down list “Actions” select “Create FedEx Shipping Labels”

The extension will create Shipments and Labels for all selected Orders. All created labels will be downloaded in one PDF file and ready for printing. In the column “FedEx status” will appear “Success”. In case of failure label creation, in appropriate cell of the “FedEx status” column will appear “Error”. If you click on the “Error”, you will be directed to the page with error description, received from the FedEx.
Note, that in Bulk Mode:

  • Labels will be created on the base of default settings;
