Getting Your FedEx Meter Number

In this article we're going to show you how to get your FedEx meter number. A FedEx Meter Number is an identification FedEx uses for your negotiated shipping rates and to track your tracking requests. This only applies if you're using your own FedEx account and not ShipLab's account.

To obtain your FedEx Meter Number

1. Go to the FedEx Developer login page.
2. Click on the"FedEx Web Services" dropdown and select Move to Production. You will be prompted to log into your FedEx account. 
3. Once you are logged in, select "Get Production Key"and agree to the Terms of Service. 

You should now be on the application stage where you will need to make 3 choices:

• Do you intend to resell your software? No.
• Check the box next to the types of FedEx web services you want to use in your integration solution: FedEx Web Services for Shipping (includes Rate, Track, etc.)
• Indicate whether you are developing your FedEx integration solution as a Corporate Developer or as a Consultant. The answer is likely "Corporate Developer".

After you complete that step, you will see your licensing agreement. After accepting it, you will then be taken to where you need to provide your contact information.

Once you click “continue,” you can update your profile settings or continue once again—and, at that point, you will reach a page that contains an Authentication Key.

This is also where you will find your FedEx meter number, send that information to support@shiplabsd.com and we'll take care of the rest!
