I have to set this up so that users can make labels, and track shipments, can someone outline the steps of how this works, including any interaction I need to do in regards to testing and contacting Fedex support, any special keys, gotchas?
Integrating with any web service is simply a matter of reading the available documentation for that service. There's really no shortcut, I'm afraid. As indicated in the answers referenced by Changeling, all the answers you're looking for are available at http://fedex.com/us/developer/.
Here's probably a better place to start, actually: http://www.fedex.com/us/office/copyprint/online/webservices/
Hi,
I have developed the fedex application using the fedex API.
Its very important to read the doucmentation and prepare your notes like what kind of special services are woking with the shipment types.As mere reading documentation is really confusing for the new starter.
Perpare your tree then follow the samples provided by fedex which helps you in proceeding.
regards, sunny
