Add FedEx shipping account

A shipping account is a specific account set up with a shipping carrier or logistics provider that enables businesses to manage shipping activities.

In SAPIENT, you can create a shipping account with FedEx, and then link it to the relevant shipping location(s).

  • The 9-digit FedEx carrier account number.
  • The exact shipping address that you have provided to FedEx, as this information is validated via theAddress Validation API.
