# FedEx Web Services Account Integration

## Overview

[FedEx](https://www.fedex.com/) is a global logistics company that offers express shipping, freight, and supply chain solutions through a vast network. In this article, you will learn how to integrate FedEx with Shipbridge using the **FedEx** **Web Services** to [Calculate Rates](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630855055954070628), [Print Shipping Labels](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630854129237682056), and receive tracking details in real time.

FedEx has announced the retirement of its SOAP-based [Web Services](https://www.fedex.com/en-us/developer/web-services.html), including those for Tracking, Address Validation, and Postal Code Validation, and is transitioning to a RESTful API connection instead. You will no longer be able to use FedEx APIs with an authentication **API Key** and **Password**. Instead, you will be required to migrate your connection to the new OAuth model and update your credentials to a **Client ID** and **Secret**. You must ensure that you are running Shipbridge **v6.0.9.5** or higher and configure the integration with the new method described in this article.

## Prerequisites

Before you can use the **FedEx Web Services** through Shipbridge, you must complete the following requirements.

- Download the latest Shipbridge version from the [Sellercloud Support Portal](https://support.sellercloud.com/Applications/Applications.aspx).
- If you don’t have a FedEx shipping account, you must first [create one](https://www.fedex.com/register/contact). Next, you must obtain your OAuth credentials. There are two ways you can do this:
  - _(Recommended)_ Register through Shipbridge to obtain your **Client ID** and **Secret**. Follow the instructions outlined in the section [below](https://help.sellercloud.com/sellercloud-knowledge-base/applications/shipbridge/fedex/fedex-web-services-account-integration~7630858788640690072#I_Do_Not_Have_OAuth_Credentials).
  - Register on the [FedEx Developer Portal](https://developer.fedex.com/) to obtain your **Client ID** and **Secret**. For detailed guidance and support, refer to the [FedEx Developer Resource Center](https://www.fedex.com/en-us/developer.html).
  
  **Parent Credentials** must be enabled for this workflow! For Shipbridge users, you can enable them by navigating to **Menu** \> **Options** \> **Admin.** Open a ticket with [Sellercloud Support](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630831494839563427) for assistance.
