Billing Clarifications in Shopify – Shopify Ship, Rate, and Track for FedEx FAQs

    Understand FedEx billing rules, fees, and invoice handling

Questions in this section:

Is it possible to process orders with duties paid by the shipper instead of the recipient via PluginHive for FedEx shipments?

Yes, you can configure the duties payment type to be by the shipper for FedEx shipments. When generating labels: 1. Select the appropriate Duties Payment Type as **Shipper**. 2. This configuration can potentially reduce complications if the recipient does not have a FedEx account number. 3. You can adjust this in the label generation step inside Shopify orders or in your shipment settings. Check with FedEx for the impact on duties cost and compliance.

Is it possible to push package details and box information as a metafield in Shopify instead of including it only on the packing slip or label?

Currently, it is not possible to send package details or box information as a metafield in Shopify using the PH Ship, Rate and Track app. This data is not pushed to Shopify order metafields and is only available on the packing slip generated by the app. If you require this data integration, consider relying on the packing slip for detailed package instructions or contact support for alternative suggestions.

Is it possible to restrict the shipping service choices shown during label generation to only two specific FedEx services (e.g., economic and Overnight)?

No, it is not currently possible to limit the list of available shipping services shown for an order to only two options. The app displays all applicable FedEx services for the shipment. From this list, you can select any suitable service for label generation, but the app does not provide a way to filter or restrict the service options displayed to only two predefined choices.

Is it possible to set different duties payment responsibilities (consignee or shipper) based on the destination country using the PH Ship Rate and Track for FedEx app?

No, the PH Ship Rate and Track for FedEx app only allows you to set the Duties Payment Type as a global setting in the Account Settings. It does not support configuring the duties payer based on the destination country.

Is it possible to switch from third-party insurance like Shipsurance to using the carrier’s own insurance within the PluginHive app on Shopify?

The PluginHive app does not use any third-party insurance providers such as Shipsurance. When you enable insurance in the app settings, the insured order value is sent directly to the carrier (FedEx in this case) via their official API. The carrier then provides insurance coverage based on their own declared value policies and limits. Therefore, there is no option or need to switch from a third-party insurer to carrier insurance within the app, because only the carrier’s insurance is applied by default when insurance is enabled in the app.

Is the Shopify Shipment Tracking & Notifications app suitable for automatically pushing orders to FedEx for label generation and shipment management?

No. The Shopify Shipment Tracking & Notifications app is designed solely for tracking shipments and automating notification emails to customers. It does not push or send Shopify orders to FedEx or any external shipping platform for label generation or order processing. For order processing and label creation connected directly to FedEx, the PH Ship Rate and Track for FedEx app is required.

Is there a way in the app to identify which person purchased a shipping label for a particular order?

The app itself does not track the individual user who generated or purchased a label. Labels are charged to the FedEx account linked in the app, and billing details can be reviewed in your FedEx billing invoice. To identify the customer who placed the order, you should check the order details directly on your Shopify orders page. If you need to track internal team activity related to label purchases, currently this feature is not available within the app.

Is there a way to add the name of the account holder to the timeline to show who printed a label, similar to UPS and USPS features?

Currently, the app does not record or display the specific Shopify user who printed a label. It processes orders using Shopify orders data but does not track individual users with app access or associate label printing actions to account holder names. Therefore, adding the account holder name to the timeline for label printing is not supported.

Is there a way to include package weights in the order report, and if so, how can I get access to it?

Including package weights in the order report is not supported currently and requires development work. The PluginHive team is working to enhance the app to add package weight as a column in the order report. As of now, there is no estimated timeline for when this feature will be available. You will be notified once this enhancement is rolled out and package weights can be included in downloadable reports. Meanwhile, you will need to manually check package weights per order inside the app's Shipping page.

Is there a way to prevent label auto-cancellation and fulfillment errors in the PluginHive FedEx app setup?

To minimize label auto-cancellations and related errors, follow these best practices: 1. Ensure orders are fulfilled only once—either via PluginHive app or manually in Shopify, but not both. 2. Keep the PluginHive FedEx app updated to the latest version. 3. Review and verify payment status and label generation billing to avoid transactional issues. 4. Monitor order fulfillment steps closely to catch any errors early. 5. Work with PluginHive support if repeated cancellations or errors occur, sharing error logs and specific instances for investigation. By aligning fulfillment actions and monitoring app-store interactions, the likelihood of auto-cancellation and undefined property errors can be reduced.

Is there a way to program the app to include account holder names on the timeline when they fulfill an order, so that we can see who printed the label?

The app currently does not support retrieving or displaying the specific store user who fulfilled the order or printed the label. While the app can be accessed by all users with the necessary store permissions, it does not have the capability to read or show the account holder names associated with order fulfillment activities. Therefore, such a feature is not available at this time.

Is there an additional charge for third-party insurance when using PluginHive with FedEx shipments?

PluginHive does not impose any additional charges for third-party insurance. Any charges related to the insurance coverage are directly handled by FedEx. You should contact FedEx to confirm the applicable fees or charges for the declared value insurance.

Is there any workaround to track which employee fulfilled orders when using the PluginHive app?

Since Shopify does not record individual user actions for order fulfillment performed via third-party apps like PluginHive, you cannot directly view this information inside Shopify. As a workaround, you can implement internal tracking methods such as: 1. Creating a manual log or spreadsheet where staff members record their fulfillment actions. 2. Using custom internal tools or integrations to capture user IDs or names when initiating fulfillment in PluginHive. 3. Assigning specific login accounts or credentials for staff members in your workflows outside Shopify and correlating these with fulfillment records. 4. Exploring third-party workforce management or order tracking systems that integrate with Shopify and PluginHive to track staff activity. These approaches require organizational processes or additional tools outside of Shopify’s native reporting.

The address fields in the PluginHive app are greyed out and not editable. How can I update the address for order fulfillment?

The address fields in the PluginHive app are read-only and reflect the fulfillment location address set in your Shopify store. To update the address: 1. Go to your Shopify admin dashboard. 2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Locations**. 3. Select the location you use for order fulfillment. 4. Edit the address details to your new location address. 5. Save the changes. The updated address will then be automatically synced to the PluginHive app for label generation. Direct editing within the PluginHive app is not supported.

We are unable to make FedEx bookings after adding the account number from FedEx. How should we proceed to resolve this issue?

The issue is likely due to the FedEx account number format used in the PluginHive app. FedEx requires a valid 11-digit account number for label generation. If you have entered a 7-digit number as the third party account for Duties and Taxes, this will cause booking failures. To resolve this: 1. Verify the FedEx account number format you have entered in the PluginHive app under **Duties and Taxes payor**. 2. Ensure the account number is the valid 11-digit FedEx account number. 3. Update the PluginHive app settings with this correct 11-digit number. 4. Retry generating FedEx labels after updating. If you are unsure about which number to enter or placement, confirm directly with FedEx which account number should be used for billing and where exactly it needs to be input within PluginHive.

What are common reasons for the "3002–Invalid Billing Address" error in PluginHive’s FedEx app and how to resolve it?

Common reasons include: – Exact billing address mismatch due to formatting differences, missing unit numbers, or postal code inconsistencies. – FedEx API restrictions or backend validation rejecting address components like unit numbers if considered abnormal. – Billing address not updated or propagated in FedEx systems yet. Resolutions: 1. Verify and update billing address with FedEx Customer Service precisely as required for API integration. 2. Wait 24 hours post update before retrying connection. 3. Collaborate with PluginHive and FedEx Developer Helpdesk to investigate any API limitations or credential issues. 4. Provide PluginHive support the Helpdesk case ID to allow coordinated escalation if needed. 5. Avoid relying on meter numbers, API keys, or passwords alone; the account number + matching billing address is necessary. These FAQs summarize and consolidate key technical and configuration information from the entire customer support exchange about FedEx account integration issues, troubleshooting, and app usage within PluginHive’s environment.

What are the available billing options for Duties and Charges when creating FedEx international shipping labels via the app?

The billing options are: – **Sender**: The seller's FedEx account is billed for Duties and Taxes. – **Recipient**: The customer receiving the shipment pays the Duties and Taxes. – **Third Party FedEx Account**: A separate FedEx account number is provided to be billed for Duties and Charges. This requires entering the third party account number in the app settings. You can select these options under **App Settings** > **Account Settings** > **Duties and Shipping Payments** > **Duties Payment Type**.

What are the available pricing plans for the PluginHive FedEx Shipping app, and are there one-time payment options instead of subscriptions?

The PluginHive FedEx Shipping app offers a 14-day free trial period to test its features. After the trial, the app is priced at a fixed rate of $19 per month, billed monthly through Shopify. Currently, the app subscription is handled directly by Shopify, and only monthly recurring payments are available. There are no yearly or one-time payment options offered for this app.

What are the steps to troubleshoot that FedEx Connect Plus service label generation issues when recipient account number is missing?

Troubleshooting steps: 1. Verify if the shipment uses FedEx International Connect Plus service. 2. Confirm that the Duties Payment Type is set to **RECIPIENT** in the shipping request. 3. Check if the recipient FedEx account number is included under the Payor > ResponsibleParty > AccountNumber tag. 4. If the account number is missing, update the shipment request XML to include a valid recipient account number. 5. Ensure the account number belongs to FedEx and is active for billing purposes. 6. If your platform or app does not support entering recipient account number at checkout, consider disabling Connect Plus for destinations where this is required. 7. Test label generation after corrections. 8. If issues persist, raise a support ticket with PluginHive and FedEx with request/response logs for further analysis. Following these steps helps resolve errors related to missing recipient FedEx account numbers.

What can cause fulfillment failures when generating FedEx labels with PluginHive and how are these addressed?

Fulfillment failures during FedEx label generation often occur due to system overload from many fulfillment requests sent simultaneously. This results in some requests failing and orders not updating to fulfilled status. To address this: 1. The PluginHive team monitors and manages load to prevent recurrent failures. 2. Failed fulfillment requests can be reprocessed by the support team internally. 3. Users should report problematic order numbers promptly for support to resolve. 4. Avoid manual fulfillment before the automatic process finishes to prevent synchronization conflicts. 5. The support team will confirm resolution and ensure orders update correctly after reprocessing.

What can I do if my attempts to fix address classification for FedEx shipments at Shopify checkout using PluginHive are unsuccessful?

If initial troubleshooting does not resolve the issue: 1. Share detailed examples of problematic orders (order IDs, billing discrepancies). 2. Provide FedEx billing invoices for those orders to identify any misclassified shipments and additional charges. 3. Ensure that collaborator access to your Shopify store is granted to PluginHive support for a thorough review. 4. Collaborate closely with PluginHive’s technical team by providing requested information and testing any recommended configuration or updates. 5. Review any app-related videos or documentation shared by PluginHive support to confirm configuration steps and verify if the classification works as expected from their end. 6. Note that due to Shopify’s default checkout behavior, some address classification limitations exist and may require additional workarounds or consultation with PluginHive and FedEx support.

What can I do if my FedEx account is blocked as "Cash Only" due to expired credit card or billing issues?

You should verify and update the payment information associated with your FedEx account: 1. Ensure you have an active and valid credit card linked to your FedEx account. 2. Clear any pending payments or invoices. 3. Contact your FedEx account manager or the FedEx support team to request removal of the "Cash Only" status. 4. Once the status is cleared, retry registering and using your FedEx account with the PluginHive app.

What can I do with the tracking ID report provided by PluginHive?

The tracking ID report can be used to: 1. Validate shipping invoices from carriers like FedEx. 2. Allocate costs properly across different business lines placing orders. 3. Verify that shipment charges are accurate. 4. Maintain records of shipments and tracking data for accounting or auditing purposes.

What causes multiple shipping notification emails to be sent for a single order in Shopify?

Multiple shipping notification emails are sent when a single Shopify order is fulfilled in multiple packages, each with a separate tracking number. Since each package is treated as an individual fulfillment, Shopify generates and sends a shipping notification email for every fulfillment update separately, resulting in multiple emails for one order.

What causes PluginHive to use default product dimensions, and how can I prevent this?

PluginHive uses default product dimensions when individual product details are missing or incomplete, leading to inaccurate shipping estimates. To prevent this: 1. Ensure every product in **Settings > Products** has its length, width, height, and weight explicitly entered. 2. Avoid leaving dimension fields blank or incomplete. 3. Review and update default dimension settings in **App Settings > Auto Settings** if necessary, so any fallback values are more realistic. 4. Regularly audit product entries to keep data current and comprehensive. Accurate product dimension data prevents unintended large default package sizes and overcharged shipping rates.

What causes the "3002–Invalid Billing Address" error when connecting my FedEx account, and how can I resolve it?

The "3002–Invalid Billing Address" error occurs because the address entered during FedEx account integration does not match the billing or shipping address registered with FedEx. To resolve this: 1. Verify the billing and shipping address associated with your FedEx account by checking your FedEx billing invoice. 2. Enter the exact billing or shipping address from the invoice when connecting your FedEx account in the PluginHive app. 3. Retry the integration using the validated address details. If the error persists, consider scheduling a support call with PluginHive to assist further.

What causes the "Indirect Signature Required" error when shipping FedEx orders from Sweden to the US using the PH Ship Rate & Track app?

The error occurs because FedEx does not support the "Indirect Signature Required" option for shipments originating from Sweden to the US. When this option is enabled in the app settings, FedEx returns no shipping rates for these shipments, resulting in a label generation failure. To resolve this, you should disable the "Indirect Signature Required" option in the app settings under App Settings -> Auto Settings -> FedEx Delivery Signature. This will prevent the error by ensuring that unsupported signature options are not selected for shipments from Sweden to the US.

What does "with tax" and "without tax" mean in PluginHive shipping rates, and has anything changed about this setting?

"With tax" means the shipping rates displayed at checkout include applicable taxes (such as VAT or GST) added to the shipping cost. "Without tax" means the shipping rates exclude these taxes and show only the base shipping cost. As of now, no automatic changes have been made to this setting in the PluginHive app for your store. You can control this display by: 1. Going to **App Settings -> Rates Settings** in PluginHive. 2. Choosing whether to show shipping rates inclusive ("with tax") or exclusive ("without tax") of taxes at checkout. This setting controls how the customer sees shipping costs at the time of purchase but does not affect tax payment responsibilities.

What does it mean when my FedEx orders are auto-cancelled in PluginHive, and what can I do about it?

Auto-cancellation of FedEx orders in PluginHive often occurs because the products in those orders are associated with multiple fulfillment locations. Currently, PluginHive does not support multi-fulfillment location scenarios. Only orders linked to a single fulfillment location can be processed correctly through the app. To resolve this issue, review your product fulfillment locations and ensure each product in an order is assigned to only one fulfillment location. Orders with single fulfillment locations will then be processed without auto-cancelation.

What does the "8004–customer is cash only" error mean when registering a FedEx account, and how can I resolve it?

The "8004–customer is cash only" error indicates that the FedEx account you are trying to register is likely restricted due to payment issues, such as an expired credit card or other payment-related problems. To resolve this: 1. Contact your FedEx Account Representative to verify the payment status of your account and address any outstanding issues. 2. Once your FedEx account is in good standing and can accept charges (i.e., not restricted to cash payments only), try registering it again. 3. After successful account connection, you can schedule a Zoom call for assistance with the app setup if needed.

What does the "8004–customer is cash only" error mean, and how can it be resolved?

If the error persists even after these steps, reach out again to your FedEx Representative for further assistance.

What does the "Customer is cash only" error mean, and how can I resolve it?

The "Customer is cash only" error typically occurs when the FedEx account is restricted due to billing issues, such as an expired credit card or unpaid invoices. This status means the account cannot be used for shipping via the app until resolved. To fix this: 1. Confirm with FedEx that billing is up to date and invoices are paid. 2. Update or verify that an active credit card is linked to the FedEx account. 3. FedEx customer service or your account manager can help lift the cash-only restriction once billing issues are resolved. 4. After resolution, retry registering the account with the app.

What does the "Inactive customer account" error mean when auto-generating labels on Shopify with FedEx, and how can I resolve it?

These errors indicate issues with the FedEx account registration process due to billing address or account status problems: 1. **"3002–Invalid Billing Address"** means the billing address provided during registration does not match FedEx records. Ensure you enter the exact billing address associated with your FedEx account. Verify this information directly with FedEx if unsure. 2. **"9203–Customer is not Allowed To Register"** typically occurs if there is a payment issue or if the FedEx account has been deactivated. This could be due to overdue payments, account suspension, or other restrictions imposed by FedEx. **Resolution steps:** – Confirm that you are entering the correct billing address exactly as registered with FedEx. – Contact FedEx customer service to verify that your account is active and in good standing, including confirming that there are no payment or account restrictions. – Once FedEx confirms your account status and billing address, retry registration within the PluginHive app. – If issues persist or you need further assistance, consider scheduling a support call for guided help with your FedEx account integration.

What does the error message '3002–Invalid Billing Address' mean when setting up a new store, and how can I fix it?

Double-check all parts of the billing address (street, city, state, postal code) for any typos or formatting errors. 3. Update the postal code to the correct one if it was incorrect. Once the correct postal code and address details are entered, the system should accept the billing address and activate your account. If the issue persists after these corrections, reach out to support for further assistance.

What does the “O” value stand for under Bill Duties and Taxes for FedEx shipments, and how should I configure it?

The value “O” under Bill Duties and Taxes indicates “Others,” which usually corresponds to billing the charges to a third party FedEx account. To configure this correctly: 1. Verify with FedEx the exact meaning of “O” in their billing system (whether it means “Third Party FedEx Account,” “Recipient,” or other). 2. If it is for a third party billing, set **Duties Payment Type** in the PluginHive app accordingly: – Go to **App Settings** -> **Account Settings** -> **Duties and Shipping Payments**. – Select **Third Party FedEx Account** and enter the relevant account details to bill duties and taxes to that account. 3. If FedEx does not require a third party account, confirm which billing option (Sender, Recipient) should be set instead.

What information or account details do I need to have ready before setting up the PluginHive FedEx app?

Before setting up the PluginHive FedEx app, ensure you have an active FedEx account along with the following details: 1. FedEx Account Number 2. Billing information associated with your FedEx account Having these details handy will be necessary to connect and configure the app properly.

A copy or screenshot of the actual email received by the end customer that you believe was sent incorrectly or unexpectedly. 2. The corresponding Shopify Order Number associated with the transaction in question. 3. Any relevant details about how the payment terms (Duties Payment Type and Shipping Charges Payment Type) are set in the app for that order or merchant. Supplying these details allows the PluginHive team to cross-check app behavior and FedEx API interactions to identify possible misconfigurations or issues.

What information should I provide to PluginHive support to facilitate FedEx integration with my Shopify store?

What information should I provide when reporting FedEx billing errors during PluginHive app setup to facilitate investigation?

To help PluginHive Support effectively investigate billing errors, provide: 1. A copy of the FedEx invoice billed to your account (not just the shipping label), as it contains billing-specific details necessary for diagnosis. 2. Contact information for your FedEx account representative, if available, so PluginHive can liaise directly with FedEx to resolve the issue faster. Sharing these documents and contacts expedites troubleshooting and resolution of billing-related integration problems.

What information should I provide when requesting a customized shipping label cost report from PluginHive support?

When requesting a customized report, provide the following details to help the support team tailor the report to your needs: 1. Exact date range for the report (e.g., June 2024 to June 11, 2025) 2. Store URL or store identifier using the PluginHive app 3. The context or purpose of the report, if possible (to help customize the data presentation) 4.

Store details or relevant account information as applicable. This helps the support team accurately generate and deliver the report to meet your needs.

What is causing the intermittent failure in automatic packing slip generation in PluginHive, and how has it been addressed?

The intermittent failure in automatic packing slip generation was caused by temporary server loading issues on the PluginHive backend. This led to failures when attempting to generate packing slips automatically for some orders, especially during bulk label creation. PluginHive has identified and fixed the underlying server issue that caused this failure, reducing the likelihood of recurrence. Users should continue monitoring packing slip generation and report any new issues to PluginHive support with relevant order details for further investigation.

What is the correct way to cancel the subscription for the app, and do I need to uninstall the app to do so?

To cancel the app subscription, simply uninstall the app from your store. Once uninstalled, the subscription will be automatically canceled, and you will not be charged in the upcoming billing cycle. There is no need for any additional cancellation steps beyond uninstalling the app.

What is the difference between creating a new order and duplicating an order to fix shipping details without confusing or charging the customer again?

Both methods create a new order record but differ as follows: – Creating a New Order: You manually enter all customer and product details from scratch, set payment status, and configure shipping. – Duplicating an Order: Shopify automatically copies all details (customer info, products, shipping addresses) from the original order. Key benefits of duplication include: – Faster than creating a new order manually. – Allows you to mark the payment as paid during duplication to reflect the original transaction. – You can uncheck the "notify customer" option during this process to avoid sending duplicate order notifications or confusing the customer. Using duplication is efficient and prevents customer confusion or duplicate charges if managed properly.

What is the difference between manual label generation and auto label generation in PluginHive, especially regarding custom products?

In PluginHive: – **Manual Label Generation** supports only orders containing Shopify active products. It allows users to manually modify package details and select shipping services for generating labels. However, it does not support orders containing custom products, which are products created outside Shopify's standard product catalog. – **Auto Label Generation** is designed to work with all orders, including those containing custom products. It automates the label generation process without requiring manual item modification or package adjustments. This option ensures that labels can still be generated when orders include custom or non-Shopify active products. For orders with custom products, it is recommended to use auto label generation. For standard Shopify active products, manual label generation provides flexibility in modifying package and shipping details.

What is the difference between ‘Duties Payment Type’ and ‘Include Duties and Taxes in the Rates at Checkout’ settings?

The difference is: – **Duties Payment Type** controls who ultimately pays duties and taxes after shipment: – Set to “Sender” means you pay duties and taxes. – Set to “Recipient” means the customer pays duties and taxes. This setting is applicable on the account level and can be overridden per shipment before label creation. – **Include Duties and Taxes in the Rates at Checkout** controls whether estimated duties and taxes are displayed and charged at the customer checkout time on your online store. If unchecked, duties and taxes are not charged upfront. Therefore, “Include Duties and Taxes at Checkout” influences whether duties/taxes appear in the checkout price but does not determine who pays those charges after shipment — that is governed by “Duties Payment Type.”

What is the pricing structure for the PluginHive FedEx shipping plugin on Shopify?

The PluginHive FedEx shipping plugin for Shopify has a single subscription plan priced at USD 19 per month. This monthly fee is automatically charged by Shopify for your store and includes access to all features of the plugin, covering shipping rates, label generation, tracking, and account integration. There is no separate annual cost, only the recurring monthly subscription.

What is the pricing structure for the PluginHive Ship Rate and Track app? Is the $19 fee fixed or variable based on order volume?

The PluginHive Ship Rate and Track app charges a flat subscription fee of $19 USD per month. This plan includes unlimited shipment label generation with no additional fees based on the number of orders processed.

FedEx will update their clearance system with your registration details to enable smooth clearance and GST processing.

What is the procedure to connect a FedEx account to the PluginHive app successfully?

What is the process for requesting a refund for recent charges from a Shopify app?

The general process to request a refund for recent app charges includes: 1. Confirm that the app has been uninstalled from your Shopify store to stop further billing. 2. Review the app developer’s refund policy (e.g., 30-day refund window). 3. Contact the app support team via email or support ticket, providing: – Confirmation that you uninstalled the app – Details of the charges you wish to dispute 4. The app support team will review your request and may process a refund if it falls within their refund policy terms. 5. Follow any additional instructions from the app support team to facilitate the refund.

What is the purpose of the Shipment Cut Off Time setting, and how does it affect shipments and delivery estimates?

The Shipment Cut Off Time defines the latest time of day when orders are considered for same-day shipment processing. For example, if the cutoff time is set at 11:45 PM: – Orders placed before 11:45 PM are processed as shipments on the same day. – Orders placed after 11:45 PM are treated as next-day shipments. This setting directly influences the shipment date communicated to FedEx, which can impact delivery speed and estimated delivery times. Adjusting the cutoff can effectively shift shipment days, potentially causing estimated delivery times to disappear if shipments fall on holidays or non-working days. This setting helps align your store’s order processing with your fulfillment capabilities.

What is the refund policy for PluginHive apps on Shopify, and how can I request a refund?

PluginHive offers a 30-day refund policy from the date of charge. If you want a refund for the app subscription, you must first uninstall the app from your store to stop ongoing charges. After uninstallation, provide confirmation to PluginHive’s support team. Once they verify the app is uninstalled and the payment transaction is received from Shopify, they will process the refund for the last 30 days of charges.

What is the refund policy for the PH Ship Rate & Tracking Shop app by PluginHive, and how can a refund be initiated?

PluginHive offers a 30-day refund policy on the PH Ship Rate & Tracking Shop app usage. For a refund: 1. Confirm your request by replying to the support email explicitly approving the refund. 2. Once confirmed, PluginHive support will initiate the refund for the most recent 30 days of app usage fees. 3. Refunds apply only if the refund request aligns with the policy period post-billing. 4. After processing, no further charges will be made since the app is uninstalled.

What is the relationship between FedEx account country, shipping rates currency, and Shopify store currency in PluginHive’s app?

The FedEx account country determines the currency in which FedEx returns shipping rates to the app. The Shopify store currency determines the display currency on your storefront and the currency used for label generation and invoices in the app (unless customized). The app requests rates from FedEx in the account’s country currency, then converts or displays them using the store currency for customers. This means changing the Shopify store currency alone does not change the currency in which FedEx supplies rates.

What should I do if FedEx address verification is inconsistent between FedEx.com and PluginHive?

When FedEx address verification results differ between FedEx.com and PluginHive: 1. Cross-check the billing address shown on your official FedEx invoice and any communication directly from FedEx. 2. Confirm with your FedEx representative to clarify the authorized billing address. 3. Review your PluginHive store settings to ensure the correct store and address are selected if you have multiple stores or locations. 4. Update PluginHive with the verified address that FedEx confirms, as this exact address is needed for successful integration. 5. Reconnect your FedEx account in PluginHive after updating the address. 6. If problems continue, reach out to PluginHive support to review your account setup and assist with troubleshooting.

What should I do if FedEx has not provided a third party account number, but I need to set the “Bill Duties and Charges” to “O” (Others)?

Since "O" stands for "Other" and typically means billing to a third party FedEx account (which requires a third party account number), you should: 1. Contact FedEx directly to clarify what "O" exactly represents in your case. 2. Specifically ask FedEx whether "O" means Billing Duties and Charges to the Sender, Recipient, or Third Party FedEx Account. 3. If it is a third party account, obtain the relevant FedEx account number from FedEx to enter in the app. 4. Based on their response, set the **Duties Payment Type** in the app to Sender, Recipient, or Third Party FedEx Account accordingly under App Settings > Account Settings > Duties and Shipping Payments. Without the correct third party FedEx account details, the app cannot process billing under the "Other" option.

What should I do if FedEx requires the “O” billing code but has not provided a third party FedEx account to enter in the PluginHive app?

If FedEx indicates that duties and taxes should be billed as “O” (Others/Third Party) but has not given you a third party FedEx account number: 1. Contact FedEx again requesting clarification on the billing process for “O” in their system. 2. Specifically ask whether it is mandatory to provide a third party FedEx account when selecting “Other” for billing duties and taxes. 3. Request explicit instructions on which billing option to choose among the following: – Sender – Recipient – Third Party FedEx Account 4. Only after confirming this with FedEx, update your PluginHive app settings accordingly. Billing options require precise account details when selecting Third Party accounts.

What should I do if FedEx’s system does not show remote area charges for a delivery address that is actually charged on the invoice?

This usually indicates the delivery address entered at checkout is different from actual shipping details used by FedEx or the address is not accurately classified as ODA in FedEx’s rate system. To handle this: 1. Confirm the exact delivery address used by FedEx for invoicing and verify it matches what the customer entered on Shopify checkout. 2. If the city or postal code is abbreviated, misspelled, or incomplete (e.g., “Zulfi” instead of its correct or full name), update the address validation process. 3. Provide FedEx with invoice and AWB samples showing the applied ODA charges for further validation. 4. Understand that some ODA charges might be applied manually or post-shipment, which is beyond the automation capability of the online rates plugin. 5. Coordinate with your FedEx account or finance team to reconcile these charges where they appear post-shipment.

What should I do if I accidentally cancelled an order that has already shipped?

If the order has already been shipped, you cannot cancel it through the store system. Instead, contact your FedEx Account Representative directly using the tracking number for the shipment. They can guide you on the available options to ensure successful delivery or make any necessary adjustments. It is important to have your tracking number handy when reaching out to expedite the process.

What should I do if I believe I have been double-billed for the PluginHive app on my Shopify invoice?

Review the billing periods carefully, as apparent double billing often results from overlapping billing and app cycles rather than actual duplicate charges. Check Shopify’s documentation on app charges for further understanding. If charges still appear incorrect or unexplained, contact Shopify support directly with invoice details. PluginHive cannot modify Shopify billing records or issue refunds as all billing is controlled by Shopify. You can request Shopify to clarify or dispute charges, but refunds for overlap billing are generally not provided due to their billing process design.

What should I do if I cannot retrieve the FedEx invoice from the PluginHive app because the screen just keeps loading?

If you experience issues pulling up the FedEx invoice within the PluginHive app (e.g., the loading indicator keeps spinning without displaying the invoice), you can take the following steps: 1. Attempt to download or view the invoice outside the app interface by logging directly into your FedEx account portal if accessible. 2. If direct access is unavailable or still problematic, request the FedEx invoice from your FedEx account representative or customer support team. 3. Share the FedEx invoice with PluginHive support by attaching it to your support ticket as a file attachment or by providing a link (such as a Google Drive share link). 4. Providing the invoice externally allows PluginHive’s support team to manually verify shipping charges and assist in troubleshooting discrepancies. This workaround ensures support can continue assisting you even when the invoice retrieval feature in the PluginHive app malfunctions.

What should I do if I don’t have the necessary FedEx account details to connect within the PluginHive app?

If you don’t have the required FedEx account details, take the following steps: 1. Contact FedEx customer support to request your FedEx account number and confirm the billing address associated with your account. 2. Once you receive these details, return to the PluginHive app and enter them to connect your FedEx account. 3. If you need assistance at any stage, reach out to PluginHive support for guidance or to schedule a setup session. Keep PluginHive support informed once you have your FedEx credentials so they can assist with successful integration.

What should I do if I encounter the error "9203–Customer is not Allowed To Register" when linking a FedEx account in PluginHive?

When you see the error "9203–Customer is not Allowed To Register," it usually indicates that your FedEx account has a payment issue or has been deactivated. To resolve this: 1. Contact FedEx directly to confirm your account status and ensure it is active and not restricted due to payment problems or other issues. 2. Ask FedEx if your billing and account details are up to date and valid for third-party integrations. 3. Once your FedEx account is confirmed active and clear of restrictions, attempt the registration again in the PluginHive app. 4. If you continue to face difficulties, you may book a support appointment for personalized technical assistance with PluginHive.

What should I do if I haven’t received my FedEx account number to use in the PluginHive app?

If you have not received your FedEx account number, you need to contact the FedEx team directly to obtain it. Once you have your FedEx account number and billing details, you can add this information to the PluginHive app to enable FedEx shipping services. If you require assistance with adding or configuring the FedEx account in the app after obtaining the details, you can reach out for support.

What should I do if I need immediate assistance connecting my FedEx account to Shopify and available appointment slots are too late?

If you require immediate assistance connecting your FedEx account to Shopify, and available standard appointment slots are unavailable or delayed: 1. Provide detailed information about your exact requirement, such as linking the FedEx account, label printing requests, or any error messages you encounter. 2. Request support via alternative communication channels offered by your service provider, such as live chat, phone support, or immediate Zoom calls, if available. 3. In some cases, joining an instant scheduled Zoom support session may be offered to resolve urgent issues. 4. Keep relevant account information and order details ready to expedite the troubleshooting and setup process during the call.

What should I do if I need to regenerate a label but cannot cancel the existing one within the PluginHive app?

If the order status does not allow label cancellation in the app, regenerate the label directly on the carrier’s official website (e.g., FedEx.com). Ensure the original label remains unused to avoid charges, as the carrier charges only upon label scan.

What should I do if I receive the error "Preferred service unavailable" when trying to generate a FedEx label?

This error means the selected preferred FedEx service is not available for the shipment destination or package type. To resolve it: 1. Open the order in the FedEx app by clicking on the order number. 2. Click on the "Retry" option. 3. Check the list of available FedEx services for the shipment; for example, FedEx International Connect Plus might be the only service available. 4. Select the available service from the list. 5. Generate the label using the newly selected service. Make sure in your carrier settings that the correct FedEx services (e.g., Connect Plus) are enabled to avoid service unavailability errors.

What should I do if I see an outstanding bill for PluginHive apps but I have closed or reopened my store?

Shopify generates subscription bills based on app activity and store status: 1. If you closed your store but reopened it later, app subscriptions may restart automatically upon reopening. 2. Charges for the subscription will continue as long as the apps remain installed and active in your store. 3. To stop charges, uninstall the PluginHive apps from your store. 4. If you see a bill you believe is incorrect, you will need to pay it first because billing is handled by Shopify, not PluginHive directly. 5. After payment, contact PluginHive support with confirmation, and they can review your case to process a refund if eligible.

What should I do if I see discrepancies between rates displayed in PluginHive and rates on the FedEx portal?

If you encounter rate discrepancies, follow these steps: 1. Verify the shipment details used—ShipFrom, ShipTo, package weight, and dimensions—are identical in both PluginHive and FedEx portal tests. 2. Check your packaging selection in PluginHive to ensure it matches the packaging type used on the FedEx portal. 3. Confirm that your FedEx account login and permissions are correct in PluginHive and that the account is valid and active. 4. Generate labels for a few test orders within PluginHive and compare the final label cost to the FedEx portal. 5. If discrepancies persist, gather screenshots or detailed examples and contact PluginHive support for analysis and assistance. 6. Avoid mixing service types or packaging categories, which can cause unexpected rate differences.

What should I do if I want to provide evidence of charges after uninstalling the PluginHive app?

If you want to provide evidence to PluginHive support regarding charges after uninstalling: 1. Collect your billing statements or charge details that show subscription fees being billed after the uninstallation date. 2. Request PluginHive support to share their app usage and subscription logs for the relevant period. 3. Share the collected charge information with their support team to help them verify and investigate your account’s subscription status. 4. If needed, coordinate and schedule a meeting with PluginHive support to review the issue in detail and seek resolution.

What should I do if label generation errors persist even after updating my FedEx account’s payment information?

If you continue receiving errors after updating your payment details: 1. Double-check that your FedEx account is fully active and not restricted for any other reasons. 2. Review any remaining error messages carefully and provide those details when contacting support. 3. Contact FedEx support to confirm there are no additional holds or issues on your account. 4. Provide all relevant error messages and account details to PluginHive customer support, so they can assist you with troubleshooting the issue further.

What should I do if my FedEx account is currently set to "Cash Only" and cannot be integrated with the PluginHive app?

If your FedEx account is set as "Cash Only," it cannot be integrated immediately with the PluginHive app. You should: 1. Contact FedEx customer service to resolve the cash-only status and enable account billing or credit approval needed for the API integration. 2. Once the account is updated and active, inform PluginHive support to reschedule the integration session. 3. After account status change, proceed with the usual integration steps via the PluginHive app and schedule a support call if needed.

What should I do if the FedEx account integration continues to fail despite entering the billing address exactly as per FedEx invoice?

If integration still fails after confirming correct billing address: 1. Contact FedEx support to report the issue and open a case with their API/Developer Helpdesk referencing the specific error code (e.g., TR3382646). Ask if there are any backend issues or restrictions, such as address formatting rules, that might affect API credential generation or integration. 2. Share the Helpdesk case details with PluginHive support so they can collaborate with FedEx directly on your behalf. 3. PluginHive support can perform additional troubleshooting, including testing various address permutations and coordinating with FedEx teams to escalate the issue if needed. 4. Note that PluginHive cannot connect accounts using meter numbers, API keys, or passwords alone; a valid account number and accurate billing address are required. 5. Updating and verifying the billing address with FedEx customer service remains critical; sometimes address formatting accepted by FedEx customer reps may differ from what their API expects, so close communication with FedEx is essential.

What should I do if the FedEx address classification enabled in PluginHive does not correctly distinguish residential and commercial addresses in Shopify checkout?

Follow these steps to troubleshoot and validate address classification: 1. Verify that FedEx Address Classification and Label Creation features are enabled and active in your PluginHive account. 2. Collect specific recent orders that experienced incorrect address classification or billing discrepancies for review. 3. Provide the FedEx billing invoices for those shipment orders to help identify any additional charges or misclassifications. 4. Grant collaborator access to the PluginHive support team in your Shopify Admin so they can investigate order data and settings directly. 5. Review the app and Shopify settings thoroughly to ensure no custom shipping or address logic conflicts with FedEx classification. 6. Confirm the PluginHive app is updated to the latest version. 7. If classification still doesn’t reflect correctly, collaborate with PluginHive support, sharing order examples and access for deeper diagnostics or potential communication with FedEx.

What should I do if the FedEx invoice billing weight is significantly higher than the weight used to generate the shipping label in the app?

If there is a large discrepancy between the billing weight on FedEx invoices and the shipping label weight: 1. Confirm that product weight and dimensions are accurately entered in the app for all items in the shipment. 2. Verify with your shipping or warehouse team that the actual package matches the details entered (e.g., package weight, packaging material). 3. Retrieve the shipping label generated by the app and compare its declared weight and dimensions to the physical package sent. 4. Contact your FedEx account representative with your shipping label and FedEx invoice. Ask them to clarify: – Why FedEx billed for a higher weight (e.g., dimensional weight rules, weight re-measurement upon pickup). – Whether any additional fees (VAT, duties) were applied. 5. Review your packaging process to avoid inconsistencies that FedEx might interpret as a higher chargeable weight. Taking these steps can help identify the root cause of unexpected higher FedEx charges.

What should I do if the FedEx invoice charges differ significantly from the PH Shipping rates charged at checkout?

Such discrepancies usually occur when the negotiated FedEx pricing discounts are no longer applied to your account (e.g., due to expired agreements). To handle this: 1. Contact FedEx to confirm your current pricing agreement status. 2. Review and accept any new pricing agreements sent to you electronically to reinstate discounted rates. 3. After accepting the new agreement, request FedEx to credit the invoices that were billed at the higher standard rates to reconcile the differences. 4. Adjust the PH Shipping app settings if necessary once the new pricing is live, ensuring the app uses the updated discount structures. 5. Monitor future invoices and checkout rates to verify alignment between charged and billed amounts.

What should I do if the FedEx subscription fails even though the account registration was successful in the PluginHive app?

If the FedEx account registration completes but the subscription fails, this indicates an issue on the FedEx side, likely related to account status or billing. The recommended steps are: 1. Contact FedEx customer service to check if there are any restrictions, unpaid invoices, or deactivation impacting the subscription service. 2. Resolve any outstanding issues or payments with FedEx. 3. After FedEx confirms everything is cleared and your subscription is active, reattempt the integration through PluginHive. This process ensures the PluginHive app can fully activate FedEx services for order shipments.

What should I do if the tax calculator no longer appears at checkout, and I want to extend the trial or subscribe to restore this feature?

If the tax calculator has disappeared, it is likely because the free trial for the app has ended or the app has been uninstalled. Note the following steps: 1. Verify the app is still installed and active on your Shopify store. 2. If it was uninstalled, reinstall the app from the Shopify App Store and subscribe to the paid plan via Shopify’s billing system. 3. Trial period extensions are not available through PluginHive; subscription requires regular payment. 4. If your concern specifically relates to taxes not showing at checkout, it is important to know that tax calculations are handled by Shopify directly, not the PluginHive app. For issues with taxes not displaying, you should contact Shopify support at [email protected] for assistance with your tax settings.

What should I know about PluginHive’s upcoming FedEx REST API integration and its impact on label printing features?

PluginHive is working on migrating its FedEx label printing integration to use FedEx REST APIs, which is a significant technical upgrade. This migration will enable: – Support for additional label sizes such as 8.11" x 11" paper size, including half-page FedEx templates. – Potential improvements in API capabilities, automation, and label customization features. The expected availability of the FedEx REST API integration is around mid to late 2025. Until then, current limitations on label formats (e.g., no support for 8.11" x 11") persist. PluginHive will communicate updates when this new functionality is released.

What should I prepare and expect for a support meeting with PluginHive regarding FedEx account setup?

Have a working microphone and stable internet connection ready for seamless communication. 3. Ensure you can grant screen sharing permissions, as visual assistance will speed up troubleshooting and setup. 4.

You have permissions enabled to share your screen, as this helps the support agent to guide you effectively. 3. You have your store URL and login information (excluding sensitive credentials) ready for quick reference. 4.

What should I provide when reporting a FedEx billing error encountered during FedEx account setup in the PluginHive app to facilitate investigation?

To effectively report and resolve a billing error while adding your FedEx account in the PluginHive app, you should provide: 1. The FedEx invoice billed to your account (not just the FedEx shipping label), as this contains critical billing details necessary for diagnosis. 2. The email address or contact details of your FedEx account representative, if available, so PluginHive support can communicate directly with FedEx if needed. Providing these documents and contacts allows support to liaise with FedEx to identify and resolve the cause of the billing error promptly.

What steps can help resolve the billing address error 3002 in the FedEx setup if documented fixes don’t work?

Persisting 3002 errors despite standard troubleshooting indicate a need for expert assistance: 1. Contact PluginHive Support and share the exact error details and steps you have tried. 2. Allow the PluginHive team to review your case and conduct deeper diagnostics. 3. Schedule a live troubleshooting session via Zoom or Google Meet to receive step-by-step guidance in correcting your billing address and account configuration. This hands-on support improves the chances of resolving complex billing address errors by tailoring solutions to your specific account setup.

What steps can I take if I am unable to verify my FedEx account address in the PluginHive app?

Follow these steps to troubleshoot and verify your FedEx account address: 1. Double-check the billing and shipping addresses from your FedEx invoice or account documents. 2. Verify with FedEx support the exact address format required for account connection, particularly the usage of province codes vs. province names. 3.

If eligible, PluginHive can process a refund for the paid amount. 5. To prevent future charges, uninstall the PluginHive apps from your store once you have resolved billing.

What steps should a merchant take to ensure FedEx does not send unnecessary KYC emails to customers for shipments processed via PluginHive?

Merchants should: 1. Upload all necessary documentation related to the shipment and customs requirements before dispatching the package. Missing or incomplete documents often trigger FedEx KYC requests. 2. Confirm that payment settings (Duties Payment Type and Shipping Charges Payment Type) in the PluginHive app are correctly configured according to who bears the cost—Sender or Receiver—as this influences FedEx’s data handling and email triggers. 3. After shipment, monitor FedEx notifications sent to customers to assess if KYC emails are still delivered. 4. Communicate with PluginHive support by sharing order numbers and email copies if issues arise, so the technical team can verify shipment data and integration status. 5. Reach out to FedEx contacts managing notification policies for further assistance on redirecting or controlling these emails.

What steps should I follow to get a refund for a PluginHive app I did not use?

1. Uninstall the PluginHive app from your Shopify store to avoid future charges. 2. Gather proof of uninstallation, such as screenshots or confirmation messages. 3. Send the uninstallation confirmation to PluginHive support via email. 4. Wait for PluginHive to verify the app removal from your store. 5. PluginHive will process the refund once Shopify’s payment transaction is received by them. 6. Receive a refund confirmation message from PluginHive support.

What technical limitations exist with PluginHive Ship when processing large, multi-item orders for FedEx shipments?

The primary limitation is the FedEx API’s constraint on the length and size of the shipment request, specifically the number of product line items included. If an order has more than approximately 280 product items, the shipment request exceeds the API limits causing label generation and rate fetching failures. To manage this: – Consolidate or combine items on the order to reduce total product count. – Use package-level shipment entries rather than detailed product line items where possible to keep requests smaller. – For extremely large orders, consider processing shipment directly on FedEx.com as an alternative.

What troubleshooting steps are involved when the PluginHive FedEx app gives "Invalid Billing Address" even when using the correct address?

Essential troubleshooting steps include: 1. Confirm billing address as exactly recorded by FedEx (including unit numbers, abbreviations, postal codes). 2. Attempt adding the account multiple times with different address formatting per FedEx guidance. 3. Contact FedEx Developer Helpdesk to verify there is no API-related or account restriction issue. 4. PluginHive support can try connecting from their side and escalate the issue with FedEx helpdesk if needed, sharing case IDs for reference. 5. If the issue appears related to the presence of elements like “unit 18526” in the address, raising a formal case may be required to have FedEx update or clarify their API’s acceptance criteria for billing addresses.

What troubleshooting steps can be taken when FedEx account integration fails due to an invalid billing address?

To resolve FedEx account integration failure caused by an invalid billing address, follow these steps: 1. Verify that the billing address entered in the FedEx account details matches exactly with the official address on file with FedEx, including street, city, state, postal code, and country. 2. Correct any typographical errors or mismatches in the billing address fields. 3. Ensure that no extra spaces or special characters are present in the address fields. 4. Re-attempt to integrate the FedEx account within the PluginHive app after updating the billing address. 5. If the issue persists, contact FedEx support to confirm that the billing address linked to your account is correctly registered and that there are no blocks or restrictions. 6. Reach out to PluginHive support with screenshots and error messages for further assistance if needed. These steps help ensure accurate validation by FedEx during account connection and prevent integration failures.

What troubleshooting steps should I follow if I cannot accept app charges during installation because I am not the store administrator?

If you are unable to accept app charges because you are not the Shopify store admin: 1. Contact the store administrator and request that they approve the app charges from their Shopify account. 2. Only the admin has the rights to accept billing and charges for app installations. 3. Once the admin approves the charges, the installation will complete successfully. 4. Confirm with the admin that the payment was processed and you can proceed with the app setup.

What troubleshooting steps should I take if Apple Pay does not appear as a payment option on my Shopify store?

If Apple Pay is not visible on your Shopify cart or checkout pages, take these steps: 1. Test placing an order on your store's live URL to confirm Apple Pay’s availability on the cart and checkout pages. 2. Check if the checkout page is loading properly and reachable; network errors or site downtime can prevent Apple Pay from appearing. 3. Verify that Apple Pay is enabled in your Shopify Payment settings and correctly configured with your store and payment gateway. 4. Try enabling a flat shipping rate in Shopify to see if Apple Pay payment button appears, as shipping method issues can block it. 5. Clear browser cache or try a different device/browser to ensure it’s not a local device caching issue. 6. If the problem continues, prepare a short video showing the checkout process and issue to share with Shopify or app support teams for further analysis. Ensuring your checkout pages load correctly and payment methods are enabled will help restore Apple Pay visibility for customers.

When connecting with Saks Off 5th for shipment processing, whose credentials should be entered in the account configuration?

You need to enter Saks Off 5th’s credentials in the account configuration. Specifically, add their FedEx Account Number and Billing Address into the app’s account configuration to enable processing shipments through their account. This ensures that shipments are billed and managed under Saks Off 5th’s FedEx account.

When I buy a FedEx shipping label through PluginHive, is the charge billed directly to my FedEx account or deducted from my Shopify account balance?

Shipping charges for labels purchased using FedEx through PluginHive are billed directly by FedEx to your FedEx account. The payment is typically deducted from the bank account or card linked to your FedEx account, not from your Shopify account balance. To verify this, you should: 1. Review the billing details in your FedEx account portal. 2. Contact FedEx support or your FedEx account representative for confirmation of their billing process and to resolve any discrepancies. PluginHive does not handle or deduct shipping fees from your Shopify payouts.

When was the PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app installed on my store?

The PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app was installed on your store on July 27, 2023. It is currently active and successfully providing FedEx shipping rates at checkout. If needed, you can verify label generation features or perform test shipments to confirm the app's functionality.

Where can I find invoices or shipment details needed when contacting FedEx for support?

Invoices, shipment cost, tracking numbers, and related shipment details generated via PluginHive’s app are accessible within the PluginHive app itself rather than your FedEx.com account. To assist FedEx support or for your own reference, download and manage all shipment-related information directly from the PluginHive app dashboard. Tracking numbers created in PluginHive will be visible on FedEx.com, but invoice IDs and label details need to be retrieved from the PluginHive platform.

Where can I view the invoices for shipping costs generated using the PluginHive FedEx shipping app?

The PluginHive Ship Rate & Track app for FedEx does not generate or maintain any separate invoices for shipping labels. Instead, all shipping labels are created directly using your own FedEx account, and FedEx handles all billing and invoicing. Therefore, all shipping charges and invoices will appear exclusively within your FedEx Billing portal on fedex.com. If recent shipping charges are not visible immediately on your FedEx dashboard, it may be because FedEx has not yet finalized the billing cycle or may consolidate charges into grouped invoices later. It is recommended to check your FedEx billing portal again after a short interval, typically a few days or a week. If the charges still do not appear, contact FedEx support directly to confirm the status of the billing for those shipments.

Where do I input my FedEx API keys in the PluginHive app to connect my FedEx account?

You do not need to manually input FedEx API keys into the PluginHive app. Instead, the FedEx account is connected by providing your FedEx account number and billing address. Once these details are submitted, FedEx generates the necessary API keys and permissions automatically for the integration, including label generation. After completing this setup, your FedEx account will be connected within the app, and you can start processing shipments directly. If you need additional help with the shipping process, you can schedule a support call using the provided appointment booking link.

Which option should be selected for "Duties Payment Type" to ensure duties and taxes are charged correctly at checkout—the sender or recipient?

The correct setting for the app to calculate and include duties and taxes at checkout is to set "Duties Payment Type" as **Sender**. This configuration enables the app to display the duties and taxes as part of the shipping cost at checkout, ensuring customers pay these fees upfront. Although it might seem logical to select "Recipient," the app requires "Sender" to perform the duties calculation and display duties-inclusive rates properly at checkout.

Who is responsible for handling support and refund requests for third-party apps installed on Shopify?

For third-party apps on Shopify: 1. The app developer handles app-specific support, including feature assistance, technical issues, and refund requests. 2. Shopify manages billing through their platform but does not directly provide refunds for app charges. 3. Developers can issue refunds via their Partner Dashboard if applicable (details at https://shopify.dev/apps/billing/refunds). 4. Merchants should contact the app developer’s support team directly for detailed inquiries or to request refunds.

Who manages billing and charges for apps installed on a Shopify store?

All billing and charges for apps used on a Shopify store are managed directly by Shopify through its billing system. App developers cannot control billing; they report app usage and Shopify processes subscription fees or one-time charges. App charges continue as long as the app remains installed or until the subscription is canceled within Shopify.

Who manages the billing for apps installed on Shopify stores, and how does that affect refunds?

Shopify centrally manages all billing for apps installed through its platform. Charges start after the trial period ends when the app remains installed. For refunds, PluginHive only processes them after they receive the subscription payment from Shopify. Therefore, refund timelines depend on Shopify’s payment transfers.

Who will be responsible for paying duties and taxes if the "Duties and Taxes Payer" option is removed in the PluginHive app, and can the recipient be designated as the payer?

To have your customers (recipients) pay the duties and taxes, you need to explicitly set the "Duties and Taxes Payer" option to Recipient within the app. You can configure this by navigating to **App Settings -> Account Settings -> Duties and Taxes** and selecting Recipient as the payer. If this option is removed or not set, the system will not automatically assign the recipient as the payer, and the default payment responsibility may vary depending on your carrier or shipping contract. Therefore, to ensure recipients are paying duties and taxes, you must set this option to Recipient in the app.

Why am I being charged for an app that I never enabled or installed, and how can I stop these charges?

Charges for apps on Shopify occur once the app trial period ends and the app remains installed on your store, regardless of usage. Even if you have not actively used the app recently, if it remains installed, Shopify will continue billing for it. To stop these charges: 1. Verify if the app is currently installed in your Shopify admin under Apps. 2. If installed and you no longer want to use it, uninstall the app from your store. 3. Uninstalling the app stops future billing from Shopify for that app. If you believe you were charged unfairly in the recent period and have uninstalled the app, contact the app support team with confirmation of uninstallation to request a refund within their refund policy timeframe.

Why am I being charged on my Shopify bill for an app that is not yet activated or fully set up?

Shopify manages the billing for all active apps installed on its platform. Charges begin automatically once the app’s trial period ends and the app remains installed on your store even if it is not fully activated or configured. To avoid further charges, you must uninstall the app from your Shopify store before or after the trial period ends if you do not intend to use it. This removal stops Shopify from billing you for the app.

Why am I experiencing delays and slowness in order fulfillment and label generation with the PluginHive app, especially during peak times like Monday mornings and holiday sales seasons?

The delays and slowness you are experiencing, particularly during high-demand periods like Monday mornings and the holiday season, are likely due to increased server load and traffic. This can result in delayed order status updates (orders showing as ‘unfulfilled’ for up to 15 minutes) and slower page loads requiring refreshes. The PluginHive team acknowledges this issue as related to elevated server demand during these peak times and is actively working on optimizing the fulfillment process to improve performance and reduce delays. Meanwhile, the app’s current server capacity may not fully handle extremely high traffic spikes consistently, but efforts are ongoing to enhance stability and speed.

Why am I getting a "3002–Invalid Billing Address" error when integrating my FedEx account with Shopify using the app, even though I am entering the same address as in my FedEx account?

The "3002–Invalid Billing Address" error occurs when the billing address entered in the app does not exactly match the billing address registered with FedEx for your account. To resolve this: 1. Verify the billing address by checking a recent FedEx invoice or statement, as this shows the exact address FedEx has on file. 2. Enter the billing address exactly as it appears on your FedEx invoice into the app during integration. 3. Ensure there are no extra spaces, differences in formatting, or abbreviations that might cause a mismatch. Following these steps will help you avoid the invalid billing address error and successfully integrate your FedEx account with Shopify.

Why am I getting a "Billing address error" when trying to add my FedEx account to the PluginHive FedEx app using my FedEx account details?

The "Billing address error" (specifically error 3002 – "Invalid Billing Address") usually means the billing address entered in the app does not exactly match the one registered with your FedEx account. To resolve this: 1. Verify the billing address from your most recent FedEx invoice or official account details. 2. Pay special attention to details like unit numbers, street formatting, and postal codes as even small discrepancies (e.g., "Unit 18526" appearing twice or formatted differently) can cause errors. 3. Contact FedEx customer service to confirm the exact billing address on file and request an update if necessary. 4. Wait up to 24 hours after any address update to let it propagate through FedEx’s systems before trying to reconnect in the app. 5. Retry adding the account with the confirmed exact address once updates have propagated. PluginHive support can assist with verifying the address, but ultimately the FedEx account’s billing address must match exactly to connect successfully.

Why am I getting a "Customer is Cash Only" error with FedEx integration in the app, and how can I resolve it?

The "Customer is Cash Only" error typically occurs if the FedEx account linked with the app has an issue such as an expired credit card or other payment-related problems. To resolve this: 1. Check the payment method associated with your FedEx account to ensure the credit card is valid and has sufficient funds. 2. Update or renew the payment method on your FedEx account if expired or invalid. 3. After updating, re-add the FedEx account integration within the app. 4. If the issue persists, you can schedule a support call (e.g., via Zoom) with PluginHive for further assistance.

Why am I getting an "Invalid Billing Address" error when connecting my FedEx account in the PluginHive app?

The "Invalid Billing Address" error occurs when the billing address entered for your FedEx account does not match FedEx records. To resolve this: 1. Refer to your FedEx invoice where the correct billing address is listed to ensure accuracy. 2. If your Shipping Address and Billing Address differ, try entering the Shipping Address instead and check if it resolves the issue. 3. Alternatively, contact your FedEx Representative or Account Manager to confirm the precise billing address associated with your account. Following these steps should help you enter the correct details and avoid the error.

Why am I getting an "Invalid Billing Address" error when registering my FedEx account, and how should I enter the billing address?

The "Invalid Billing Address" error occurs because the FedEx account integration requires the exact billing details registered with FedEx, which are case sensitive and must match precisely. To resolve this: 1. Enter the Account Number exactly as provided by FedEx (9 digits, case sensitive). 2. Provide the complete Billing Address registered with FedEx, including all relevant components such as street, city, zip code, and country. 3. If your billing address includes a unit number, note that there may not be a separate field for it in the app. You should still provide the billing address exactly as it appears on your FedEx account or invoices. 4. Verify these details by checking your FedEx invoices or logging into your FedEx account at fedex.com. 5. If you continue to face issues, consider scheduling a support call or screen share session to provide the details and get hands-on assistance. Providing these exact, official billing details will help ensure the FedEx account integrates successfully with the app.

Why am I getting an "invalid billing address" error when setting up FedEx in the PH Ship Rate and Track app, even after entering the correct address?

The "invalid billing address" error typically indicates a mismatch between the address entered in the app and the Registered Billing Address on your FedEx account. To resolve this: 1. Verify your billing address exactly matches the Registered Billing Address used in your FedEx account on fedex.com, including street, city, state, postal code, and country. 2. If you still encounter the error, try including both your billing address and shipping address in the invoice details when generating the FedEx shipping label within the app. 3. If the problem persists after these steps, contact your FedEx representative directly to cross-check and confirm the credentials and address details linked to your account. 4. You can reach out to PluginHive Support for assistance during this verification or setup process if needed.

Why am I getting an "Invalid Billing Address" error when trying to connect my FedEx account in the PluginHive app, and how can I resolve it?

The "Invalid Billing Address" error often occurs due to incorrect billing address details entered during account connection. To resolve this: 1. Contact FedEx directly to verify the exact billing address format they require, as the app connection must match FedEx’s records precisely. 2. Specifically ask whether FedEx requires a province code instead of the full province/state name, as this is a common cause of the error. 3. Use the verified billing address details exactly as provided by FedEx when entering information in the PluginHive app. 4. If issues persist, provide PluginHive support with the FedEx billing address and your FedEx account rep’s contact email so they can assist further from their end. 5. FedEx customer support can be contacted at +1 (877) 339-2774, extension 4, for assistance verifying billing address details.

Why am I getting an "invalid billing address" error when trying to connect my FedEx account in the PluginHive app, and how can I resolve it?

The "invalid billing address" error typically occurs due to incorrect address details entered during FedEx account setup in the app. To resolve this: 1. Verify that the billing address exactly matches the address on file with FedEx, including street, city, state, zip code, and country. 2. Correct any typos or missing fields in the address form within the PluginHive app. 3. Ensure the address format follows FedEx’s requirements (e.g., no special characters or unsupported abbreviations). 4. If unsure, log into your FedEx account directly to confirm the billing address details. 5. After correcting the address, retry connecting the FedEx account in the PluginHive app. If the error persists, scheduling an onboarding support session with PluginHive via Zoom can assist in step-by-step troubleshooting and setup.

Why am I getting an error about stock availability when generating labels, even though all items are in stock?

The warning about needing all items in stock at a relevant warehouse can be safely ignored. It indicates that the order can only be fulfilled from one location but does not block label creation if inventory is sufficient. This message is informational and does not reflect an actual stock shortage if your inventory shows available stock.

Why am I getting an error when trying to create 3 labels for my order using FedEx Ground Economy in Shopify?

The FedEx Ground Economy service only supports one package per shipment. If you attempt to create multiple packages (e.g., 3 packages) for one order using this service, it will result in an error. To resolve this, either update the package count to one to use FedEx Ground Economy, or select another FedEx service that allows multiple packages per shipment for processing your order.

Why am I getting error 3002 from FedEx even though my billing address is correct?

Error 3002 typically indicates a mismatch between the billing address registered with FedEx and the address you are submitting during integration or API usage. To resolve this: 1. Verify the exact billing address saved in your FedEx account by checking directly on FedEx’s website or through their customer support. 2. Note that even slight differences (e.g., suite numbers, street abbreviations) can cause this error. 3. In one case, switching the billing address from "STE 400, 2303 KENNEDY ST NE, MINNEAPOLIS, MN, 55413" to "2715 N Troy Street, Chicago, IL, 60647" (confirmed to be the address FedEx had saved) resolved the error. 4. Ensure the address you use in PluginHive or any API call exactly matches the one FedEx has on file. 5. If unsure of the correct address, try retrieving it from a reliable source like FedEx’s official records or verified Google search, then update your settings. Following these steps will help eliminate the error by aligning the address used in the system with FedEx’s billing records.

Why am I getting the error "7152–Invalid Express account number" even though I entered my FedEx account number exactly?

This error usually means that although the FedEx account number and billing address you provided are correct and the account connection status is successful, FedEx is rejecting the account number during subscription activation. This can be due to issues on FedEx’s end such as payment problems or account status errors. To resolve this: 1. Contact your FedEx account representative or FedEx support team to verify the status of your account and check for any payment or account-related issues. 2. Confirm that your FedEx account is active and properly authorized for integration. 3. After verification and any necessary corrections by FedEx, retry connecting the account in PluginHive. Note: Ensure the phone number does not include a “+” sign as this can cause connection issues without clear error messages.

Why am I getting the error "8004–Customer is cash only" when trying to set up my FedEx account in the PluginHive app, even though my account is settled by card payment?

The error "8004–Customer is cash only" typically indicates a payment-related issue on the FedEx account side, such as an expired credit card or unresolved billing problem. To resolve this: 1. Contact your FedEx Account Manager or FedEx customer support to verify the payment status of your account and confirm that card payments are active and valid. 2. Once the payment issue is resolved with FedEx, reattempt adding your account in the PluginHive app. Note: You must have a valid FedEx account added to the PluginHive app to display FedEx shipping rates; it is not possible to show FedEx rates without a FedEx account.

Why am I not receiving email notifications for shipment updates even though I have configured the app with my email address and selected notification options?

If you are not receiving shipment email notifications despite configuration, check the following: 1. Confirm that you have selected the "Shipment has been created" event notification type along with any other relevant events. If this is not selected, no immediate notification will be sent for new shipments. 2. Ensure the email address entered in the Notification Role is correct and active. 3. Understand that PluginHive’s notification settings generally send tracking status updates, not automatically generated label or invoice documents. 4. For live shipments, notifications are triggered when the shipment is collected and scanned by the carrier. 5. Test by creating a shipment and selecting all applicable notification events to verify if emails are then received. 6. If notifications still fail, review store collaborator permissions and webhook integration settings where applicable.

Why am I receiving a "Registration Failed" error when trying to re-register for FedEx rates after upgrading my Shopify plan and switching to yearly billing?

This error often occurs if the Shopify store’s setting for "Carrier Calculated Rates at Checkout from the App" is not enabled, even after upgrading your Shopify plan. To resolve this: 1. Verify that your Shopify plan upgrade (e.g., from Basic to Shopify) supports carrier-calculated rates. 2. Contact Shopify support to ensure the "Carrier Calculated Rates at Checkout" feature is activated on your store. 3. Once Shopify confirms the feature is enabled, return to your PluginHive app and enable the app’s shipping rates at checkout. 4. Retry the FedEx rate registration process. This setting is mandatory because the app needs permission to calculate and display real-time shipping rates at checkout. Without this, the registration and rate fetching will fail.

Why am I receiving an "invalid billing address" error when trying to connect a FedEx test account in PluginHive Ship Rate & Track, even though FedEx confirmed my billing address is correct?

The PluginHive Ship Rate & Track app only supports FedEx production accounts and does not allow connections using FedEx test accounts. The "invalid billing address" error occurs because the app does not accept test account credentials regardless of the correctness of the billing details. To resolve this issue, you need to use your valid FedEx production account credentials within the app. Once you add a production account, the app will connect properly and provide accurate rate and tracking information. If you require help configuring your production account, you can contact support for assistance.

Why am I receiving the error "3002–Invalid Billing Address" even though the address matches the one in my FedEx account?

The "3002–Invalid Billing Address" error indicates that the billing address entered during the shipment process does not match what FedEx expects. Even if the address matches your FedEx account profile, the integration requires the billing address provided in the shipment request to be exactly correct and valid. To resolve this: 1. Verify the billing address entered in your shipping details or order information exactly matches the format and details registered with FedEx (including street name, number, city, state, postal code, and country). 2. Check for common discrepancies such as abbreviations, missing suite/apartment numbers, or incorrect postal codes. 3. Ensure your FedEx billing address is active and correct by logging directly into your FedEx account and comparing details. 4. If using the PluginHive app, confirm that the billing address fields are correctly mapped and populated in your order management or e-commerce platform to transmit the correct data to FedEx. 5. If all information is accurate and the error persists, contact FedEx support to confirm there are no restrictions or issues with your billing address. By carefully verifying and aligning the billing address data between your system and FedEx, you can eliminate the "3002–Invalid Billing Address" error and proceed with shipments smoothly.

Why am I receiving the error "customer is cash only" when trying to set up my FedEx account in the app?

The "customer is cash only" error typically indicates that the FedEx account you are trying to use may be associated with an expired credit card or has other payment-related issues. To resolve this: 1. Contact your FedEx Account Manager to verify the status of your payment methods and account. 2. Confirm whether there are any holds or restrictions on your account that require cash-only transactions. 3. Request assistance from FedEx to update or resolve any outstanding billing issues. Once your FedEx account is cleared and active, you should be able to set it up successfully in the app. If you continue to face issues, you can reach out to PluginHive support for further troubleshooting.

Why am I seeing shipping fees charged to my personal FedEx account when my customers pay for shipping at checkout through the PH Ship Rate & Track app?

Although customers pay shipping fees at checkout and that amount is deposited into your Shopify account along with the product payment, FedEx bills you separately for the actual shipping labels. This means: 1. Customers pay for shipping during checkout; that money goes into your Shopify account. 2. When you generate a FedEx shipping label through the app and it is scanned by FedEx, FedEx charges your personal FedEx account for the shipment. 3. The shipping fees paid by customers cover these costs, so you are not being charged twice—you receive the funds from the customer via Shopify, and then you pay FedEx using those funds. 4. If you want further reassurance, you can check with your FedEx Account Representative to understand how billing and payments are managed on their end.

Why am I seeing two billing line items from PluginHive for overlapping periods on my Shopify invoice, and can one of them be removed?

Shopify’s billing cycle for app charges does not always align exactly with the app’s own usage cycle. When you incur app usage fees after your Shopify billing cycle ends but before the app’s billing cycle resets, those charges are included separately on your next Shopify invoice. This can result in two line items for overlapping periods appearing on one invoice. Since Shopify manages all app billing directly and does not provide refunds for such charges, the additional line item cannot be removed by PluginHive. For clarity, you can review Shopify’s documentation on app charges and invoice overviews at: – https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/manage-billing/your-invoice/apps – https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/manage-billing/your-invoice/invoice-overview If you have specific questions about fees or cycle timing, Shopify support can provide detailed explanations.

Why am I still getting late deliveries and upcharges from FedEx when customers leave out suite or apartment numbers in their addresses?

The app calculates shipping rates and generates labels based solely on the shipping address submitted with the order. If a customer omits suite or apartment details, this information is missing in the label and FedEx may treat the address as incomplete, causing delivery delays and extra charges. Since PluginHive does not validate or complete address fields at checkout, you will need to ensure suite or apartment details are properly collected at Shopify checkout, potentially by customizing checkout forms with the help of Shopify support. This will help prevent incomplete addresses from being submitted to the shipping carriers.

Why am I unable to connect my FedEx account to PluginHive and how can I resolve the error '9203–Customer is not Allowed to Register'?

The error code '9203–Customer is not Allowed to Register' usually indicates a payment-related issue or that your FedEx account number has been deactivated. To resolve this: 1. Contact FedEx customer support to verify the status of your account and confirm there are no outstanding payment problems or deactivation. 2. Once FedEx confirms your account is active and in good standing, attempt to reconnect your FedEx account with PluginHive. 3. If you continue facing difficulties, consider scheduling a support call with PluginHive using their appointment link to receive personalized assistance. Following these steps should help you successfully integrate your FedEx account with PluginHive.

Why am I unable to generate FedEx labels for shipments from Singapore to the US when using "Duties Payment Type: Recipient" without providing a recipient FedEx account number?

For FedEx International Connect Plus service, it is mandatory to provide a recipient FedEx account number when billing duties/taxes to the recipient. Simply specifying `<PaymentType>RECIPIENT</PaymentType>` without including a valid recipient account number in the request will result in label generation failure. The XML structure must include the recipient’s FedEx account number as follows: “` <ns:DutiesPayment> <ns:PaymentType>RECIPIENT</ns:PaymentType> <ns:Payor> <ns:ResponsibleParty> <ns:AccountNumber>XXXXXXXXX</ns:AccountNumber> </ns:ResponsibleParty> </ns:Payor> </ns:DutiesPayment> “` Without this account number, FedEx will reject the request for Connect Plus shipments.

Why am I unable to use Apple Pay at checkout when using the PH Ship Rate & Track plugin for FedEx?

The inability to use Apple Pay at checkout when the app-calculated shipping option is enabled is not typical behavior and usually not caused directly by the PH Ship Rate & Track plugin. Since payment methods like Apple Pay are managed by Shopify itself, you should contact Shopify Support to troubleshoot this issue further. To resolve it efficiently: 1. Reach out to Shopify Support explaining that Apple Pay is unavailable when using app-calculated shipping rates from this plugin. 2. Include the PluginHive support team in your communication with Shopify, so both teams can collaborate. 3. This issue has been reported before, and Shopify is aware and working on it. If you require further assistance from PluginHive during this process, feel free to contact us.

Why are 0 value orders using 100% coupons causing customs clearance issues, and what solutions does FedEx recommend?

0 value orders created through 100% coupons for exchanges often face customs clearance delays because FedEx requires a minimum non-zero declared value on invoices. FedEx recommends two possible solutions to address this issue: 1. Use a Pro Forma invoice showing the real value of the order line items and subtotal for customs purposes. 2. Issue an invoice with the real value of the line items plus a negative line item that offsets the total to zero, accompanied by a note stating "The price is for customs purposes only." However, PluginHive’s systems currently rely on carrier APIs that do not support generating invoices with zero total value or custom negative line items, so these solutions may need manual handling.

Why are calculated shipping rates not working even though I have subscribed to the Shopify plan?

To enable live carrier-calculated shipping rates at checkout using PluginHive, you must activate the 'Carrier Calculated Rates at Checkout from the App' feature in your Shopify account. Here are the steps: 1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel. 2. Navigate to **Settings > Shipping and Delivery**. 3. Check if there is a notification about enabling carrier-calculated rates. 4. If you are on the Shopify plan, this feature can be added either by:  - Switching your billing to yearly, which enables it at no extra monthly cost, or  - Paying $20/month as an add-on by contacting Shopify support ([email protected]). 5. Contact Shopify support to enable this feature if it is not already active. Without enabling this feature, live carrier-calculated rates from PluginHive cannot be displayed at checkout.

Why are customers not receiving the FedEx account number in their order confirmation emails generated through PluginHive?

PluginHive does not automatically include the FedEx account number in customer order confirmation emails because this information is typically not part of standard shipment notifications. To provide FedEx account details in notifications, you may need to customize your Shopify notification templates or communication workflows separately. Alternatively, communicate this information directly to customers using your own email templates or customer service messages if necessary.

Why are FedEx shipping rates not enabled for my FedEx account in my Shopify store even though the PluginHive FedEx app is installed?

To display FedEx shipping rates at checkout, your Shopify store must have the carrier-calculated shipping feature enabled as part of your subscription plan. The PluginHive FedEx app supports printing labels, automatic fulfillment with tracking numbers, and scheduling pickups on all Shopify plans, but showing live FedEx shipping rates requires this additional feature. Carrier-calculated shipping is included with the following Shopify plans: – Advanced Shopify Plan – Shopify Plus Plan – Shopify Plan with carrier-calculated shipping added If you are on the Shopify Plan, you can enable this feature either by switching to yearly billing (which includes it at no extra cost) or by purchasing it as an add-on for $20/month through Shopify support ([email protected]). Without this, live FedEx shipping rates will not appear at checkout.

Why are my FedEx 2DAY order tracking details not appearing in Shopify when I purchase labels through the PluginHive app?

The PluginHive app correctly passes tracking numbers and carrier details to Shopify upon label creation. However, if you see blank or incorrect tracking information in Shopify, it may be caused by a third-party app or fulfillment service overriding or blocking the tracking details after they are sent from PluginHive. Specifically, solutions like Ship Hero, which you might be using for fulfillment, can update Shopify order data post-label creation and overwrite tracking info. To resolve this, you need to verify if any app or fulfillment service is intercepting or updating tracking fields in Shopify and adjust its settings to prevent overwriting PluginHive’s tracking data.

Why are remote area charges (ODA) not appearing on pluginhive FedEx shipping rates at checkout even though FedEx charges for them on the invoice?

Remote area (ODA) charges depend on the accuracy and validity of the delivery address entered during checkout. If the postal code or city name is incorrect or not recognized as a remote area by FedEx’s system, ODA charges may not be included in the rates returned via the pluginhive app. To troubleshoot: 1. Verify that the customer enters a complete and accurate delivery address, especially the city and postal code. 2. Check if the destination city name is valid and recognized by FedEx (e.g., "Az Zulfi" was identified as invalid, causing ODA charges to be omitted). 3. Compare the shipping rate calculated at checkout with the actual FedEx charges on the invoice or AWB (Air Waybill). 4. If discrepancies exist, collect valid AWB numbers and invoice copies showing ODA charges and share them with FedEx support for further investigation. 5. Understand that not all ODA charges are automatically visible in the online rate quote; some manual or additional charges may apply based on FedEx’s internal classifications.

Why are return labels generated through the app billed higher by FedEx than expected, and how can I confirm the correct rates?

Return labels generated through the app may show higher billing amounts due to discrepancies between the shipment details used for label creation and FedEx’s billing system. To confirm the correct rates: 1. Review the XML files used for the forward and return label generation to verify the rates calculated by FedEx based on your account-specific rates and shipment details. 2. Compare the weight and other shipment details on the XML with those on the FedEx billing invoice, as differences (e.g., 31.2 lbs on label vs. 34 lbs on invoice) can cause billing mismatches. 3. Share the XML files and billing invoices with your FedEx Account Representative to investigate why the billed amount exceeds the label rate and confirm the correct pricing. 4. FedEx can then determine if any corrections or adjustments are needed in your account or billing process. This approach ensures you have documentation to facilitate FedEx’s review and helps identify the root cause of the discrepancy.

Why are some of my FedEx shipments being charged variable pricing instead of the One Rate prices I expect, even though One Rate is enabled in the PluginHive app?

Although the PluginHive app is correctly configured to process FedEx One Rate shipments, discrepancies in pricing may still occur because the app generates labels using the FedEx One Rate service and sends the correct rate information (e.g., FedEx Small Box at $13 USD). However, final shipping charges are determined by FedEx and can include additional fees not reflected in the label or PluginHive app. To resolve this: 1. Verify your shipments directly on FedEx.com by tracking the package and reviewing the actual charges applied. 2. Contact FedEx customer support to inquire about any additional fees or billing adjustments that might cause variable pricing beyond the One Rate. 3. Confirm that the package dimensions and weight match those eligible for One Rate pricing, as FedEx may apply variable pricing if conditions are not met. 4. If you still face issues after checking with FedEx, reach out to PluginHive support with shipment details for further investigation. This approach ensures you understand the full billing context between PluginHive label creation and FedEx final charges.

Why are tax and duties suddenly being billed to the sender when I did not change this setting?

The reason tax and duties are being billed to the sender is likely because the payment setting for Duties and Taxes in your PluginHive app is currently configured as "Recipient." To verify and address this issue, follow these steps: 1. Log in to your PluginHive app and navigate to the App Settings. 2. Check the "Duties and Taxes" payment type; if it is set as "Recipient," the recipient is billed for these charges, not the sender. 3. If you want the sender to pay the tax and duties instead, you need to change this setting accordingly. 4. To assist further, provide the specific order number experiencing this issue. 5. Additionally, grant Collaborator Access to the PluginHive support team by sharing access with the email ID provided ([email protected]) so they can review your settings in detail. By reviewing and adjusting these settings or providing the requested information and access, the cause of the billing change can be identified and corrected.

Why are the FedEx shipping rates shown at checkout different from the rates retrieved through the PluginHive app during label generation?

Differences in FedEx rates are caused by additional surcharges applied by FedEx that may not be visible or updated in the app's checkout interface. The support team recommends: 1. Collecting request-response log files from both the date when the order was placed and the date rates were fetched. 2. Sharing these log files with the FedEx team to clarify the surcharges causing the discrepancy. 3. Once surcharges are understood and resolved, the PluginHive team can assist with label generation workflows using the correct rates.

Why did printing labels stop working after switching to "Pack Items Individually," and how can issues with incorrect box weights and excess shipping charges be resolved?

The "Pack Items Individually" method requires: 1. Accurate weight assignment for each product in Shopify's product setup. 2. Correct box dimensions assigned in the PluginHive App Products page. If these are not correctly configured: – You may need to manually enter box dimensions during label printing. – Shipping charges may be miscalculated at checkout due to incorrect weight data, leading to overpayment. To resolve: – Review and update all product weights accurately in Shopify. – Define proper box dimensions in PluginHive for each product. Once set, the app can correctly calculate packaging and shipping rates, enabling label printing without manual interventions.

Why did the FedEx label generated through PluginHive Ship get auto-canceled after downloading, and can I still use that label or generate a non-canceled one?

Auto-cancellation of a label typically means the label is no longer valid for shipment processing and cannot be used. This auto-cancellation can happen because: 1. Shopify order status conflicts (e.g., the order remains marked as fulfilled with tracking info preventing re-generation), or 2. Discrepancies between the order items listed in Shopify and what PluginHive sends to FedEx, particularly if removed or modified product quantities are still getting included in the shipment request. To resolve this, you can edit the order to correct the item quantities or details, cancel the auto-canceled label in PluginHive, and then regenerate a new label from the edited order. If Shopify integration blockers remain, coordination with Shopify support and PluginHive technical support may be necessary to fully resolve conflicts preventing label validity.

Why do FedEx shipping rates sometimes differ when fulfilling orders via the PluginHive app compared to the rates shown at the Shopify checkout?

Differences between checkout and fulfillment shipping rates may be due to: 1. The app applying a markup or adjustment percentage (e.g., 15%) on top of the carrier rates at checkout for surcharges or profitability. 2. Variations in package grouping: multiple boxes at fulfillment versus assumed single package rates elsewhere. 3. Changes in rate availability, service types, or carrier options between the time of checkout and fulfillment. 4. Differences in package dimensions or weights used in the label printing step if manually adjusted. To address these differences, verify your app’s adjustment percentage under settings, ensure consistent package configuration, and review service options selected for both checkout and fulfillment processing.

Why do I get a blank screen after clicking 'Generate Package' for an order in the app?

The blank screen issue when generating a label typically occurs if the order contains a product that is not supported by the app. Specifically, the app does not support Custom Products or products that are no longer active in Shopify (e.g., deleted products). To resolve this, ensure that the order contains only active Shopify products. If the product was deleted after the order was placed, you need to update the order with an active Shopify product before attempting label generation again. This will allow the app to process the order and generate the label without errors.

Why do I get a warning "we can’t fulfill orders with products from multiple locations" when generating labels, even though I have only one location?

This warning message is a common notification within the PluginHive app during label generation and does not necessarily mean there is an actual issue with multiple locations. Since you have only one fulfillment location, you can safely ignore this message. It is an app-generated warning that may be improved in the future, but it does not impact your ability to fulfill or ship orders.

Why do I get the "Invalid Billing Address" error when adding my FedEx account in the app, and how can I resolve it?

The "Invalid Billing Address" error occurs when the billing address entered in the app does not match the billing address registered with your FedEx account on their website. To resolve this: 1. Verify the billing address exactly as it appears in your FedEx account or on your FedEx invoice. 2. Enter this precise billing address into the app during the FedEx account setup. 3. Double-check for any discrepancies such as abbreviations, punctuation, or formatting differences. 4. If the issue persists, consider sharing a copy of your FedEx invoice with support for further verification. This helps ensure the billing address used matches what FedEx has on record.

Why do I keep getting an "invalid billing address" error when connecting my FedEx account, even though the address I input is correct?

The "invalid billing address" error occurs when the address entered does not match the billing or shipping address registered on your FedEx account. To resolve this: 1. Double-check that the address you input exactly matches either the billing or shipping address on your FedEx account, including street, city, state, zip code, and country. 2. If you are still facing issues, consider allowing the support team to connect your FedEx account from their end by approving a Shopify collaborator request and sharing your FedEx account details and a FedEx invoice showing your address for verification. 3. Common causes include incorrect zip code or mismatch in address details, so verify these carefully. 4. Once the address matches the FedEx account, the integration should succeed.

Why do I not see the 'Cancel Label' button in the PluginHive app for my Shopify orders?

The 'Cancel Label' button only appears when the Shopify order status is set to 'Fulfilled.' If you do not see the button, it means the order is not currently marked as fulfilled in Shopify. To have this option available, ensure your order status is updated to 'Fulfilled.'

Why do I receive the error "3002–Invalid Billing Address" when registering my FedEx account with PluginHive?

The "3002–Invalid Billing Address" error occurs because the billing address you provide during FedEx account integration does not match the billing or shipping address registered on your FedEx account. To resolve this: 1. Verify the exact billing and shipping addresses registered on your FedEx account by logging into your FedEx profile. 2. Ensure that the address you enter in PluginHive matches exactly (including street name, number, city, state, and ZIP/postal code) either the billing or shipping address on FedEx. 3. Correct any discrepancies or typographical errors in the address you submit. 4. Retry the integration with the corrected address. If you continue to face difficulties, you can schedule a support call with PluginHive for personalized assistance by booking a slot through their appointment link.

Why do invoice values not match the customer’s total order value, for example when product value is shown as zero?

When an order contains products with a declared value of zero in Shopify (e.g., freebies or zero-priced items), the app automatically adjusts the invoice to list a minimum product value of 1 (currency unit) per item because shipping carriers like FedEx require declared values greater than zero. This can cause discrepancies between the invoice value and the actual Shopify order value. To avoid this, ensure that all shippable products have valid, non-zero product values entered in Shopify so the app can accurately reflect these values on invoices.

Why do the shipping prices appear higher in the app compared to my expectations?

The shipping rates shown in the app are sourced directly from your own FedEx account that you have connected within the app. To verify these rates, you should replicate the order details by logging into your FedEx account on fedex.com and compare the prices displayed there. This ensures that the rates you see in the app exactly match those charged by FedEx based on your account settings. If you need additional help verifying or troubleshooting the rates, the support team can assist you further via a scheduled Zoom call.

Why does an order show as unfulfilled on Shopify after generating the order fulfillment through PluginHive, and how can this issue be resolved to avoid duplicate shipments?

This issue typically occurs due to a mismatch between the fulfillment location set in the Shopify order and the fulfillment location used in the PluginHive app when processing labels. Specifically: 1. The app must use the same fulfillment location as assigned to the Shopify order. If there is a mismatch—for example, the Shopify order shows “Fulfillment Center” but PluginHive uses “Florida”—the label generated by the app can be auto-cancelled. 2. When the label is auto-cancelled, Shopify’s fulfillment status may not update correctly and remain marked as fulfilled or unfulfilled, causing confusion and the risk of double shipments. 3. To resolve this, ensure that fulfillment locations between Shopify and PluginHive are aligned precisely. 4. If an auto-cancellation occurs, verify that Shopify fulfillment is also cancelled for the order. If it remains fulfilled erroneously, it may require manual cancellation or reaching out to PluginHive support for resolution. 5. Occasionally, temporary glitches may cause fulfillment cancellation to fail; these are typically resolved by PluginHive support promptly. By maintaining matching fulfillment locations and monitoring fulfillment status after label generation, you can prevent orders from incorrectly showing as unfulfilled and reduce duplicate shipments.

Why does it say the billing address is wrong when I try to create a FedEx account in the app?

The error occurs because the billing address entered does not match the address registered with FedEx for your account. To resolve this: 1. Verify the exact billing address registered with FedEx for your account. 2. Use an authoritative source or official record to confirm the billing address. For example, you can check your FedEx account details or trusted business directory sites. 3. Enter the confirmed FedEx billing address into the app when creating or integrating your account. 4. If unsure, you may search for your official business address on verified directories and use that as the billing address. By ensuring the billing address matches FedEx’s records exactly, the account integration should proceed successfully.

Why does my order label generation keep cycling endlessly and never load, and how can I resolve this issue?

An endless loading or cycling issue when generating order labels often indicates a problem with store access or settings synchronization. To resolve this: 1. Approve the Shopify store collaborator request sent by PluginHive to your store’s admin email. This allows their team to verify and troubleshoot label generation settings. 2. Share the specific order numbers for which label generation is failing. This helps support test and isolate the issue. 3. Confirm that your shipping carrier account configurations and plugin settings in PluginHive are correctly set and active. 4. If you continue to face issues, support may attempt label creation from their end once access is granted, enabling quicker root cause analysis and resolution. Following these steps ensures the support team can verify your store settings and diagnose why label generation cycles without completing.

Why does Shopify support say we need to contact PluginHive to trace fulfillment user details?

Shopify support indicates that since label creation and order fulfillment actions are performed through the PluginHive app, Shopify’s native system does not track individual user actions within third-party apps. Therefore, Shopify cannot provide user tracking data for app-based fulfillments. Shopify suggests contacting the app provider (PluginHive) for such information because only the app can potentially offer insights or tracking features subject to its own capabilities. However, PluginHive currently does not log or expose user-specific fulfillment information. This is why user tracking in app-generated label creation is limited.

Why does the FedEx account integration in the PH Ship Rate & Track app fail to complete when saving account settings, and how can I resolve it?

The FedEx account integration may fail with an error message like "Customer is cash only," preventing completion in the PH Ship Rate & Track app. This typically happens because the FedEx account being used has payment-related issues, such as an expired credit card or other billing problems. To resolve this: 1. Contact your FedEx Account Manager directly. 2. Verify the status of your account’s payment information. 3. Ensure that the payment method associated with your FedEx account is valid and up to date. 4. After resolving any payment issues, try to complete the integration again in the PH Ship Rate & Track app. This will allow the app to successfully connect with FedEx and move forward with the integration process.

Why does the FedEx setup in the PluginHive app show an "invalid billing address" error and how can I fix it?

The "invalid billing address" error occurs because the billing address entered in the app does not exactly match the Registered Billing Address on your FedEx account. To fix this: 1. Verify the billing address you enter in the app matches exactly with the address on your FedEx account at fedex.com, including street, city, state, postal code, and country. 2. Reach out to your FedEx representative if you have doubts or continue experiencing errors to confirm the correct billing address and credentials associated with your account. 3. Provide the FedEx invoice or account details to PluginHive Support if assistance is needed in resolving the issue. Accurate billing address confirmation is essential to avoid setup errors and enable proper FedEx integration within the PluginHive app.

Why does the PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx App request a price when installed on a development theme, and can I access the delivery date feature for free in development?

Shopify development stores do not support accepting subscription charges for paid apps, which means you cannot fully install or use the app, including the delivery date feature, on a development store. The PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx App requires the store to accept subscription payments to function, so it is not possible to access paid features like estimated delivery dates without a live paid store setup.

Why does the PluginHive app show insurance as “Third Party” if it does not use third-party insurance like Shipsurance?

The label “Third Party Insurance” in the app is primarily related to advanced FedEx billing configurations—such as when a third-party FedEx account is designated to pay for shipping charges. Despite this label, all insurance processed through the PluginHive app is handled directly by FedEx and billed only through FedEx’s systems, not through any external insurance provider like Shipsurance. This terminology does not indicate involvement of third-party insurance companies; it is simply a label referencing the billing setup rather than the insurer itself.

Why does the shipping cost at checkout show 18€ for a Japan order but FedEx charges 36€ in total, and do I need to activate "collect import fees" in Shopify settings for duties and taxes to work correctly?

The difference arises because the "Duties Payment Type" in the app is set to "Sender," meaning the duties and taxes are not included or charged to the customer at checkout. To have customers pay the duties and taxes at checkout and avoid unexpected charges upon delivery, you need to update the "Duties Payment Type" setting in the app to "Recipient." This ensures that duties and taxes are calculated and included in the shipping rate shown to customers at checkout. Activating "collect import fees" within Shopify is not mandatory for this app feature. Instead, proper configuration within the PluginHive app is needed to reflect duties and taxes correctly.

Why does the shipping cost shown in the PluginHive app include taxes while FedEx’s own rate view does not, and how does this affect payment of duties?

The discrepancy occurs because PluginHive includes applicable taxes within the shipping cost displayed in the app to provide a comprehensive cost view, whereas FedEx’s standard rate display often shows shipping charges excluding taxes. To manage this effectively: 1. **Tax Settings:** In PluginHive, configure your tax settings accurately to reflect tax application on shipments, which will be included in the shipping cost calculation. 2. **Duties and Taxes Payment Type:** – Specify who pays duties and taxes in the app settings — the customer, your business, or a third party. – If duties are paid using a different account than the shipping account, update the duties payment section to correctly reflect this arrangement. This setup ensures that the shipping charges shown to customers or in your system are accurate and consistent with your business’s payment practices, avoiding confusion during label creation and shipment processing.

Why does the subtotal on order 7885 show $65.52 when the customer's order shows a shipping cost of $59.42, and why is there a discrepancy with the shipping cost in PluginHive?

The subtotal of $65.52 on order 7885 reflects the item price after applying a discount. Specifically, the original price of the item "Ambil" was $84, and a discount of $18.48 was applied, resulting in a subtotal of 84 – 18.48 = 65.52, which is correctly processed and documented by PluginHive. Regarding the shipping cost discrepancy, the order was placed with the Priority Overnight shipping service costing $59.42, but the shipping label was generated using a different service — FedEx 2 Day Saturday Delivery. PluginHive generates shipping labels based on the shipping service selected by the customer at checkout. If a different shipping label service is used during fulfillment, the displayed shipping cost might not match the actual label cost. To avoid confusion, always ensure the shipping label service matches the customer’s selected shipping option. If you need help aligning these services or correcting shipping label generation, PluginHive support can assist.

Why don't FedEx shipping options appear at checkout after entering the address, even though the shipping cost is calculated?

To see FedEx shipping options on the Shopify checkout page after entering the shipping address, ensure that you click the "Continue to Payment" button on the Shopify checkout screen. Shipping options, including FedEx rates, usually appear only after advancing past the shipping address step. If shipping options still do not appear: 1. Verify your Shopify checkout settings to ensure no restrictions block carrier-calculated rates. 2. Confirm that PluginHive FedEx carrier services are properly enabled and configured in both the app and Shopify shipping profiles. 3. Contact Shopify support if the checkout behavior differs from the expected flow, as they control the checkout UI steps. Following these steps ensures that shipping options like FedEx rates display correctly once the customer proceeds to payment.

Why is FedEx showing a canceled label for order #10098 when the label is generated in PluginHive and the Shopify order is fulfilled?

This issue occurs because the tracking number added to the Shopify order does not match the tracking number generated by the PluginHive app. While the label is generated and fulfillment is done through the app, if the tracking number in Shopify is manually changed or does not sync correctly, it can cause discrepancies such as FedEx showing the label as canceled. To resolve this, ensure the tracking number in Shopify matches exactly the tracking number generated by PluginHive. Avoid manual modifications to tracking numbers in Shopify orders after fulfillment via the app, as this can cause sync issues and inaccurate label status.

Why is it not possible to enable FedEx Notifications without causing label generation errors?

The inability to enable FedEx Notifications without triggering label generation errors stems from unresolved issues in how the PluginHive integration sends notification data to FedEx. As a result: – When FedEx Notifications are enabled, the order data sent to FedEx may fail schema validation, resulting in errors during label creation. – Until this issue is addressed by PluginHive updates, the recommended practice is to keep FedEx Notifications disabled. – Continue generating labels with Notifications disabled to ensure smooth operation. If you require FedEx Notifications, you should monitor PluginHive communications for updates or contact support for potential workarounds, but at present, the feature should remain off to maintain label generation stability.

Why is the shipping label cost generated by PluginHive higher than the FedEx in-store quote, even when using the same shipping box and origin/destination details?

Shipping label rates in PluginHive may differ from in-store FedEx quotes due to various factors: 1. Verify the exact order number and shipment details used in PluginHive to confirm the same settings and addresses are used. 2. The app’s rate may include additional service fees, surcharges, or automated calculations not accounted for in manual FedEx store quotes. 3. FedEx may provide discounted or negotiated rates in-store which may not automatically reflect in PluginHive’s rate calculations unless your account credentials are integrated. 4. Also confirm that package dimensions, weights, and declared contents match precisely between your packing and the app configuration. Even slight differences can affect rate quotes. 5. Recheck the label generation process by placing a test order and note if the discrepancy persists. If so, provide the order number to PluginHive support for detailed investigation.

Why is there a difference between the FedEx 2 Day shipping rates shown in the PluginHive app and the actual label purchase price?

Rate discrepancies can occur because: 1. The PluginHive app fetches rates based on the FedEx One Rate service when generating shipping costs at checkout using package dimensions and weights set in the app. 2. If you create shipping labels outside the app (for example, directly in Shopify’s native “Create Shipping Label” option), those labels do not apply FedEx One Rate pricing, even if you have it enabled in the PluginHive app. This may cause higher label costs compared to app estimates. 3. Additional handling fees you add (e.g., 5%) on top of rates will also affect displayed checkout prices. To avoid these differences, always generate shipping labels through the PluginHive app’s interface via “More Actions → Create Shipping Label” in the order details. This process ensures the exact rates (including One Rate or negotiated rates from your FedEx account) are used consistently between checkout and label creation.

Why is there a discrepancy between the shipping price shown at Shopify checkout and the actual shipping charge when fulfilling orders?

The discrepancy occurs because flat rate shipping is enabled in Shopify’s checkout settings while the label is generated using real carrier rates from the PluginHive app. For example, if a customer selects a flat rate shipping option (e.g., a fixed price), but you purchase the label using an actual carrier service like FedEx Ground Economy, the shipping cost charged to you by the carrier may differ from the flat rate charged to the customer. To align these charges, you need to remove the flat rate shipping option from Shopify and enable real-time shipping rates directly from the PluginHive app, so the rates displayed to customers at checkout will match the label costs.

Why is there a large discrepancy between the shipping cost paid by the customer at checkout and the FedEx invoice charge for the shipment?

The discrepancy can occur due to differences in the package weight or additional charges such as VAT and duties. Specifically: 1. The shipping label and checkout rate are calculated using the product weight and dimensions entered in the app. For example, if the item weight entered is 0.3 kg, the app uses this to calculate the cost. 2. FedEx bills based on the actual package weight and dimensions after shipment. If FedEx registers a higher weight (e.g., 1.6 kg vs. 0.3 kg), your invoice will reflect this higher charge. 3. VAT and duties charges may also apply depending on the Duties Payment Type setting. If set to “Sender,” VAT or duties are charged to you, increasing your invoice amount. To address this: – Verify and update all product weights and dimensions accurately in the app (App → Products → Edit Product → Update Dimensions). – Check VAT and duties settings in the app: under App → Settings → Rates Settings, you can enable or disable “Include Duties and Taxes in the Rates at Checkout.” – Contact your FedEx account representative to clarify discrepancies between the invoice weight and the app’s shipping label weight, providing both documents for reference.

Why might PluginHive support be unable to access historical order rate details?

PluginHive’s app retains order API request and response data such as shipping rate XMLs only for a limited period (up to 60 months). For orders older than this retention period, the app cannot retrieve archived shipping rate request/response data. In such cases, PluginHive support may: 1. Replicate the shipping scenario using new test orders with the same address details from your store checkout. 2. Analyze the live returned rates for those test orders to verify discrepancies. 3. Request current order details, AWBs, and invoices for investigation instead of historical data.

Why might the PluginHive app delay fulfilling Shopify orders even after label generation?

The app can experience delays in fulfillment, especially during periods of high order volume like holiday sales. While the app tries to fulfill orders promptly, some pending orders may take longer to process. Customers are advised not to manually fulfill orders immediately to avoid automatic label cancellations and to allow the app time to complete fulfillment.

Why might there be a delay in processing my PluginHive app refund after uninstalling the app?

Refund processing depends on PluginHive receiving the subscription payment from Shopify first. Since Shopify manages billing and payments, PluginHive cannot issue a refund until the payment clears on their end. This process may cause a delay between confirming uninstallation and refund issuance.

Why might there be a difference between the shipping charges customers pay at checkout and the FedEx invoice amounts, and how can I resolve it?

Differences between checkout shipping charges and FedEx invoice amounts can occur due to packaging methods and tax calculations. Specifically: 1. Using the weight-based packing method with FedEx envelopes may cause discrepancies because envelope shipments may have packaging-related charge differences. 2. Switching to the box packing method can provide more accurate shipping cost calculations aligned with actual FedEx billing. 3. Shopify taxes added at checkout may make the final customer-paid amount appear different from the shipping cost recorded in the app; these taxes should be considered separately. 4. You can review detailed shipping cost calculations in the app’s Rates Log to compare with FedEx billed amounts. 5. If you want to cover additional packaging costs, use the app’s adjustment settings to add a surcharge to shipping rates. Following these steps ensures better alignment between your checkout charges and FedEx invoices, providing clear visibility and control over shipping costs.

Why was I billed for the PluginHive app for years even though I didn’t actively use it and it wasn’t compatible when I first tried it?

Shopify billing for apps is tied to the app’s installation status, not just active usage. Once the PluginHive app trial period ended and the app remained installed on your Shopify store, Shopify automatically continued billing you for the subscription. Even if the app wasn’t fully compatible or actively configured, as long as it was installed, charges applied. Additionally, records may show some usage like displaying FedEx calculated rates, which counts as app activity triggering billing. To avoid these charges, the app needs to be uninstalled from your store.

Why was I charged for the app since 2020, even though I never used it and it was not compatible with Shopify at that time?

The charges for the app started after the trial period ended once the app was installed on your Shopify store. Shopify manages billing for all active apps, and if the app remained installed post-trial, billing would continue regardless of actual usage. Additionally, records show the app was actively used to display FedEx calculated rates on your checkout. Therefore, charges are based on app activity and installation status, not just compatibility or perceived usage.

Why was I charged for the PluginHive app after uninstalling it from my Shopify store?

The billing cycle for the PluginHive app is based on the period during which the app is installed. If you uninstall the app after the billing period has already started, you will still be charged for that entire billing cycle. For example, if your billing period was from February 7 to March 9 and you uninstalled the app on February 28, you will be charged for the full cycle from February 7 to March 9. However, once the app is uninstalled, you will not be charged for any subsequent billing cycles. This is because Shopify charges for the app on a pre-paid or current cycle basis depending on installation status. If you have further questions or billing concerns, you can contact support for assistance.

Why were the FedEx airway bills (AWBs) generated with the dangerous goods (DG) lithium battery option selected, and was this caused by a human error or a system glitch?

The DG lithium battery option appeared on the AWBs because one of the products in the orders, "ParaMicrocidin 250mg X 120 Vegetarian Capsules," was configured with the "Is Battery" option enabled and its Battery Material Type set to "LITHIUM ION" in the product settings. This caused the labels to include the electronic lithium battery (ELB) indication. This setting was applied manually at the product level—either due to human error—and was not caused by an automatic or system glitch. Disabling the "Is Battery" option for the product will prevent the lithium battery label from being added to future shipments.

Will labels generated through the app appear in the FedEx.com shipment history?

No, labels created via the PluginHive app using your FedEx account do not appear in your FedEx.com Shipment History. However, all such shipments and charges will be visible on your FedEx invoices once processed. This is expected behavior and does not affect tracking or billing.

Will uninstalling the PluginHive app before the trial period ends prevent me from being charged?

Yes. The PluginHive app offers a 14-day free trial period starting from the installation date. If you uninstall the app before this trial period ends, you will not be charged any subscription fees. Therefore, uninstalling the app before the 14-day mark ensures you avoid any payment.
