vinSUITE Fulfillment Feature - FedEx Label Certification Steps

Step-by-step instructions for setting up a FedEx account for use in the vinSUITE Fulfillment feature

Before you can use the FedEx Fulfillment feature in vinSUITE, you must complete the FedEx label certification process. The steps below walk through each stage in the order you will perform them.

Instructions:

Phase 1: Obtain FedEx test credentials

  1. Log in to your fedex.com account.
  2. Go to the FedEx Web Services developer registration page. Note: Verify this URL is current, as FedEx has been migrating services to the FedEx Developer Portal.
  3. Click Get your Test Key.
  4. Complete the form and accept the agreement. Screenshot or print the page with your test account key — you cannot retrieve it later. Look in your inbox for an email from FedEx with your test account password information.

Phase 2: Contact vinSUITE support and submit labels for certification

  1. Contact support@vinsuite.com and ask them to enable the Fulfillment module. Include the following in your request:
    • Your test account number.
    • Your test meter number.
    • Your test web key (from your screenshot).
    • Your test web password, or forward the FedEx email containing it.
    • The shipping methods you plan to use (for example, Ground or 2 Day).
    The vinSUITE support team will enter these credentials into the test environment and send you labels to submit to FedEx for certification.
  2. Download and complete the label cover sheet from the FedEx certification page: FedEx Web Services certification (see page 11 of the PDF — verify the current page number, as this document may have been updated). Submit your completed labels for certification to label@fedex.com. Use the following settings when completing the cover sheet:
    • Label image type: ZPL (if you are using a Zebra thermal printer).
    • Example printer model: ZPLII (for Zebra printers).
    • Label image type: PNG (for a standard desktop printer).
