Freight Rate Issues on Shopify – Shopify Ship, Rate, and Track for FedEx FAQs

After adding my FedEx Freight account to PluginHive, it still shows very high freight costs and does not apply my account rates. Why is this happening and how can I resolve it?

FedEx Freight rates should start showing immediately once your account is properly connected. If you see an error like "The account number entered for FEDEX_FREIGHT could not be validated," it indicates that FedEx is rejecting your account number on their end. To resolve this: 1. Contact your FedEx representative to verify the validity and status of your FedEx Freight account. 2. Share the XML request and response files generated by the PluginHive app with FedEx support to help them identify the issue. 3. Confirm with FedEx that your account is enabled and approved for freight rating APIs. 4. Once FedEx validates and resolves any account-related issues, the PluginHive app will then display the correct freight rates immediately. 5. If problems persist after confirmation from FedEx, contact PluginHive support with your FedEx validation feedback for further assistance.

After clearing the FedEx account data, how do I reconfigure my FedEx account in the PH Ship Rate & Track app to make FedEx functional again for my site?

Once the FedEx account data has been cleared by support, follow these steps to reconfigure your FedEx account in the PH Ship Rate & Track app: 1. Log in to your Shopify store and open the PH Ship Rate & Track app. 2. Navigate to **App Settings** > **Account Settings** within the app dashboard. 3. Enter your correct FedEx account details carefully to add the new primary FedEx account. 4. Save the changes and verify that the FedEx shipping options are now functional on your site. If you encounter any issues or need assistance with integration after account setup, contact support for further guidance.

After connecting my FedEx Freight account and enabling freight rates in the PluginHive app, why am I not seeing the freight shipping options at checkout?

If you do not see FedEx Freight rates at checkout even after connecting the freight account, verify the following steps: 1. Confirm that your FedEx Freight account is correctly added in the **Account Settings** of the PluginHive app. 2. Check the app’s **recent logs** to see if FedEx Freight rates are being fetched successfully. 3. Verify on your live Shopify store checkout page if the FedEx Freight options are showing for heavy shipments (typically over 200 lbs). 4. If the rates appear in the app logs but not on checkout, ensure that your product weights, shipping addresses, and shipping profiles are configured correctly to qualify for freight shipping. 5. Note that freight shipping options will only display for orders that meet freight criteria (e.g., weight thresholds). If all configurations are correct and the issue persists, contact support with detailed logs and screenshots for further investigation.

After updating addresses, why am I still seeing no difference in FedEx Freight rates and encountering a new error stating "The account number entered for FEDEX_FREIGHT could not be validated"? What should I do next?

When the "account number could not be validated" error appears, it indicates an issue with the FedEx Freight account credentials or account status. To troubleshoot and resolve this: 1. Confirm that the FedEx Freight account number entered in the PluginHive settings is correct and active. 2. Contact your FedEx Account Representative to verify your account status and resolve any validation issues. 3. Provide them with the full XML request and response logs generated by PluginHive (these can be shared directly with FedEx for technical review and troubleshooting). 4. Ensure no typos or formatting issues exist in the account number or Meter Number fields in PluginHive’s FedEx Freight configuration. 5. After FedEx confirms the account is valid, test the rates again in your Shopify checkout. If problems persist after confirmation from FedEx, reach out to PluginHive support for further assistance with configuration validation.

Are there any immediate recommended steps or alternatives if I need accurate LTL shipping rates before the FedEx REST API release in PluginHive?

PluginHive currently does not offer an interim solution to calculate accurate FedEx Freight Direct surcharges prior to REST API activation. Users seeking immediate accuracy may consider: 1. Using other shipping rate calculators or third-party apps that support FedEx LTL with surcharge calculations. 2. Manually adjusting or supplementing shipping rates at checkout based on your known costs. 3. Contacting FedEx directly for tools or APIs outside PluginHive that might provide interim LTL pricing. 4. Following PluginHive support communications closely for updates on REST API certification status. Implementing any workaround will depend on your technical resources and platform capabilities. PluginHive continues to prioritize completing FedEx REST API certification for native resolution.

Are there any options or documentation required to facilitate assigning Freight Class to products individually?

No specific external documentation or criteria are required to assign Freight Classes. Simply use the PluginHive app interface to select the Freight Class for each product individually as described. If you require assistance navigating the app or understanding Freight Class options, PluginHive support can assist.

Can a button be placed in the Shopify order tracking email that redirects customers to the FedEx tracking website?

The PluginHive app does not provide a feature to add a clickable button redirecting customers to the FedEx tracking website within the Shopify order tracking email. Tracking update emails are generated and sent by Shopify based on the order’s tracking information. To add a button or customized link in the tracking email, you would need to customize Shopify’s notification templates directly via Shopify’s admin or contact Shopify support for assistance. The PluginHive app itself does not manage email template customization.

Can custom grind size options or grinding instructions from the Easify Options app be added and printed on the PH Ship Rate & Track packing slips?

PH Ship Rate & Track packing slips can print Shopify order product names, product variants, shipping addresses, and order notes, but they cannot directly print custom line item options or properties (such as grinding instructions added via the Easify Options app) because Shopify’s API and the app only fetch certain standard order data for packing slips. To include grinding instructions on the packing slip, consider these options: 1. **Add Grinding Instructions to Order Notes:** Work with a developer to capture the grind size selection from the Easify app as part of the Shopify order notes. Since order notes are printable on packing slips, this will allow the grinding instructions to appear clearly. 2. **Use Product Variants for Grinding Options:** If grinding options such as “Whole Bean” or various grind sizes are consistent, convert these options into product variants. Variants are included automatically on packing slips, ensuring visibility for the packers. 3. **Template Customization Limitations:** Although you can customize packing slip templates to show line item properties with Liquid code, the underlying Shopify API limitations and app constraints mean these custom properties often aren’t available in the data used to generate packing slips through PH Ship Rate & Track. If you require line item properties to show, explore custom app development or other third-party apps designed specifically to handle such packing slip customizations beyond PH Ship Rate & Track's current scope.

Can I add a button in Shopify’s order tracking email that links customers directly to the FedEx tracking website using the PluginHive FedEx app?

No, the PluginHive FedEx app does not provide any feature to customize Shopify’s order tracking emails or add clickable buttons linking to FedEx tracking pages. Tracking emails are sent and managed by Shopify. To add such buttons or links, you need to customize Shopify’s email notification templates directly via the Shopify admin or consult Shopify support for help with email template customization.

Can I change the default freight class in the app or set a default freight class for all products?

Yes, you can set a default freight class for your account: 1. Go to the app’s **Account Settings**. 2. Under **Freight Account Settings**, specify your desired default freight class (e.g., 70 instead of the default 50). This default will apply to freight shipments unless overridden on individual products. Bulk updates to freight class are not supported, so products with different freight classes must be updated manually.

Can I customize the Shopify order tracking notification emails or add FedEx tracking buttons via the PluginHive FedEx app?

No, the PluginHive FedEx app does not provide email customization features. To add buttons or customize order tracking emails, you must modify Shopify’s email notification templates within your Shopify admin or contact Shopify support.

Can I display the day of the week along with the estimated delivery date at checkout using PluginHive's FedEx integration?

No, the FedEx estimated delivery date provided by PluginHive is formatted as Month-Day-Year (e.g., January 29, 2025) and this format cannot be modified to include the day of the week. The system does not support customizing the date format for estimated delivery times at checkout.

Can I restrict shipping options so that customers only see FedEx Freight for orders above a certain weight or quantity in Shopify?

Shopify and PluginHive do not natively support restricting carrier options based on weight or quantity conditions. Currently: – Shopify shows all carrier-calculated rates from your enabled shipping accounts. – PluginHive displays all eligible FedEx shipping options without filtering others. To implement such restrictions, you may consider: 1. Using Shopify Shipping Scripts (available on Shopify Plus) to hide/show shipping methods based on custom conditions. 2. Employing third-party Shopify apps that provide advanced shipping rules and filters. 3. Developing custom checkout customizations or integrations with your store’s backend to control shipping options dynamically. 4. Contacting Shopify Support for advice on enabling conditional shipping logic based on weight thresholds.

Can I schedule a Zoom session for assistance with weights and dimensions setup in PluginHive?

Yes, you can schedule a Zoom session for personalized assistance using the appointment link provided by PluginHive: 1. Click on the scheduling link: https://appointments.pluginhive.com/appointment/book-a-slot/?storeUrl=commune-design.myshopify.com&email=&ticket=341316&key=1231753909214304 2. Select a convenient date and time slot for your session. 3. Confirm your appointment to receive the Zoom meeting details. This will connect you with a support representative to help with your specific setup needs.

Can I set up multiple Shopify Location addresses for different warehouses and assign each to different shipping profiles for different brands while still getting accurate FedEx Freight rates?

FedEx Freight LTL services require the shipping origin address to match the FedEx Freight billing address exactly. Because of this, the Shopify Location used for shipping needs to be set to the FedEx Freight account billing address to get valid Freight rates. While Shopify allows multiple locations for different brands, the app currently only supports processing shipments from a single warehouse address per order. Multi-warehouse fulfillment per order is not supported at this time, and using different warehouse addresses than the billing address will cause FedEx Freight rates to fail. Therefore, for reliable FedEx Freight rates, update your single shipping location address to the billing address registered with FedEx Freight.

Can I share my FedEx account credentials directly with Shopify support to help with connecting to CCS?

No, you should not share your FedEx account credentials with Shopify support or any third party for security reasons. Shopify support does not require your credentials to troubleshoot connection issues. Instead, provide clear error screenshots and detailed descriptions of the problem so they can assist effectively while keeping your information secure.

Can I switch back from the newest beta version of the PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app to the original Shopify version if my staff prefers the older interface?

Currently, switching back to the older version of the PluginHive Ship Rate & Track app for FedEx is not supported as the updated version contains improvements designed to streamline and speed up your shipping process. It is recommended to try using the new interface for processing a few orders to evaluate its benefits. If you need assistance adapting to the new version or guidance on order processing, you can schedule a support call with PluginHive at a convenient time by booking a slot through their appointment link: https://appointments.pluginhive.com/appointment/book-a-slot/. This will help your team get familiar with the updated functionalities effectively.

Can I update the freight class of products in the app using a bulk import?

No, updating the freight class for products via bulk import is not supported. Freight class is a required field specifically for freight products, and must be updated individually. You can update the freight class for each product manually within the app interface.

Can I use the PluginHive app with orders from the Amazon platform?

The PluginHive Ship Rate and Track app is designed exclusively for Shopify orders. However, if you import your Amazon orders into your Shopify store, you can then process these orders via the PluginHive app. Direct integration with Amazon is not supported.

Can I use the same FedEx account for multiple Shopify stores in PluginHive, and how do I set this up properly?

Yes, you can use the same FedEx account across multiple Shopify stores. To ensure proper integration: 1. Register and connect your FedEx account separately for each Shopify store through the PluginHive app’s registration process. Manual connection may cause failures. 2. Avoid adding the same FedEx account as an additional account on one store if it is already registered on another store, as this can cause errors. 3. If you face issues connecting your FedEx account on one store while it works fine on another, clear the FedEx account on the problematic store and attempt re-registration. 4. If errors such as "Request failed with status code 500" persist during registration, escalate the issue to PluginHive’s technical support or L3 team for assistance. Following these steps ensures that your FedEx account is properly linked and operational on all your stores without conflicts.

Can Plug in Hive’s development team be contacted directly to create a custom solution for automatic fulfillment of orders with custom products?

Direct communication with PluginHive’s development team is not supported. The app’s current functionality does not include auto-fulfillment and tracking updates for orders with custom Shopify products, and there is no official workaround or customization service openly available to users for this feature. If you require further assistance or have specific needs, you can contact Plug in Hive support through official channels, but direct developer calls or paid custom solutions are not offered. The support team may consider your feedback, but immediate development or customization engagement cannot be arranged.

Can PluginHive support assist in troubleshooting order status or label generation issues related to third-party apps like SuperCycle?

PluginHive support can assist you with troubleshooting within the PluginHive app and label generation processes. However, if your order status is managed by a third-party app such as SuperCycle, any workflow or status automation related to “Scheduled” or rental-specific statuses must be handled by that app’s support team. PluginHive recommends coordinating with the third-party app to understand and adjust statuses for compatibility with Shopify and PluginHive’s fulfillment flow.

Can PluginHive support handle calls instead of video meetings for customer assistance?

Yes, PluginHive support can accommodate requests for phone calls instead of video meetings. If you are unavailable for a Zoom or video call, communicate your preference to the support team. They will: 1. Schedule a voice call at a mutually convenient time. 2. Provide support and troubleshooting via phone conversation. 3. Follow up with any documentation or instructions necessary based on the call discussion. This flexibility ensures you receive the assistance you need in your preferred communication mode.

Can PluginHive’s Shipment Tracking and Notify app help reduce or consolidate tracking notification emails sent to customers?

PluginHive’s Shipment Tracking and Notify app is designed to send real-time tracking updates and notifications to customers via email. However, it operates independently of Shopify’s default shipment notification system and does not interfere with or replace Shopify’s emails. Therefore, using this app will not reduce or consolidate the multiple tracking emails sent by Shopify for multi-package orders. To address multiple emails, engage Shopify support for any platform-level options.

Can the app offer Free Ground Shipping on orders with subtotals over $300.00?

The app does not support showing shipping options conditionally based on order value. However, you can create a Free Shipping option directly within Shopify using the Order Price criteria. This free shipping option will appear at checkout alongside the rates from the app, allowing customers to select it if their order subtotal exceeds $300. To set this up, use Shopify’s shipping settings to define free shipping based on order price thresholds.

Can the FedEx Appointment Delivery option be accessed directly in the PluginHive FedEx Shipping app for Shopify?

At present, the FedEx Appointment Delivery option is not yet available in the PluginHive Ship Rate and Track for FedEx App. This feature will become accessible once FedEx updates its REST API and the changes are integrated into the PluginHive FedEx app. Until then, merchants who need Appointment Delivery with FedEx Home Delivery should use the MCSL app as an alternative.

Can the PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app prevent customers from entering PO Box addresses during checkout?

No, the PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app does not have the capability to block or disable PO Box addresses from being entered during checkout. To restrict customers from entering PO Box addresses, you need to configure your Shopify store checkout settings or use a third-party Shopify app designed to validate and block certain address types such as PO Boxes. It is recommended to contact Shopify support or review Shopify’s available checkout customization options to implement this restriction.

Can the PluginHive app verify the presence of a customer's VAT number at checkout for B2B and B2C sales within the EU?

No, the PluginHive app cannot provide an option at checkout for customers to enter or verify their VAT numbers. The app is only designed to show shipping rates on the Shopify checkout page and cannot modify or add fields to the Shopify checkout process. To enable VAT number entry or verification at checkout, you need to use Shopify’s native features or reach out to Shopify support, as customizations to the checkout page are restricted by Shopify.

Can the PluginHive FedEx app display FedEx Freight prices on the Shopify checkout page for shipments from Japan to worldwide destinations?

Yes, the PluginHive FedEx Ship Rate and Track app can display FedEx Freight rates at the Shopify checkout page. To enable this feature, you need to add both your Normal FedEx account and your FedEx Freight account credentials within the app settings. Once configured correctly, the app will fetch and show freight shipping rates to customers during checkout, supporting shipments from Japan to worldwide locations.

Can updating the quantity of a lightweight item fix the issue with FedEx Freight rates not working?

Yes, increasing the quantity of the lightweight item will raise the total weight of the line item. FedEx Freight rate calculations require the total weight per line item to be at least 1 pound. For example, if one unit weighs 0.035 lbs, setting the quantity to 29 or more will meet or exceed the 1 lb minimum, allowing the rates to work properly. Alternatively, setting the product weight directly to 1 pound can also resolve the issue.

Can you provide the API Key, Meter Number, and request/response files for my FedEx account to investigate rate and dimension issues on Shopify?

The API Key, Meter Number, and Request/Response XML files contain confidential information and cannot be shared directly. Instead, you should: 1. Add the FedEx representative who is requesting these details in the CC of your email so we can coordinate directly. 2. If there is an ongoing communication, include [email protected] in the CC. 3. Our team will then liaise with the FedEx team on your behalf to address the issue. This approach ensures confidentiality while allowing us to assist in resolving rate or dimension discrepancies effectively.

Can your app create shipping profiles by product collection instead of adding products individually?

Currently, Shopify does not allow creating shipping profiles based on product collections or tags within apps. Shipping profiles must be set up by selecting individual products one by one. Our app does not have the capability to override this Shopify limitation. For further options or updates on shipping profile management, it is recommended to contact Shopify support directly.

Can your app support offering free shipping to customers through FedEx rates at checkout?

Yes, through the PH Ship Rate and Track for FedEx app, you can configure FedEx shipping rates to appear at checkout, and you can set a FedEx service as Free within the app. If you want to offer Free Flat Shipping, that setting should be configured directly within your Shopify store, which will then show free shipping at checkout.

Do I need a camera for the PluginHive Zoom meeting, or is audio enough?

You do not need a camera to participate in the PluginHive Zoom meeting. You must have: 1. A working microphone to communicate during the call. 2. Permission to share your screen if you want to show your Shopify store or app settings for better assistance. The meeting will focus on audio interaction and screen sharing, so lacking a camera will not impede the support process.

Do LTL Freight rates work for Alaska and Hawaii, and how can I set up only Freight rates (excluding FedEx small parcel rates) for these states using PluginHive?

The PH Ship, Rate & Track for FedEx app currently does not support conditional display of Freight rates specifically for Alaska and Hawaii, nor does it support rule-based rate control such as filtering rates based on product quantity, weight, or dimensions within these states. The FedEx CHR API itself may not provide Freight rates for Alaska and Hawaii depending on the configuration and account restrictions. To test if Freight LTL rates are available for these states, you can: 1. Log into your FedEx LTL account directly on the FedEx website. 2. Create a shipment quote for addresses in Alaska and Hawaii with weight greater than 150 lbs. 3. Verify if appropriate Freight services appear. If you want to implement rules such as: – Showing Freight rates only for Alaska and Hawaii, – Setting minimum quantity limits for products to show certain rates, – Applying conditions based on product dimensions and weight, – Excluding FedEx small parcel rates for these regions, the PH Ship, Rate & Track app does not currently support this functionality. Instead, you should consider using the PluginHive Multi-Carrier Shipping Label App, which supports rule-based shipping rate controls and allows you to configure advanced conditions like location, quantity thresholds, dimensions, and weight restrictions for shipping methods and carriers. You can learn more about this solution here: https://www.pluginhive.com/shopify-multi-carrier-shipping-label-app/ If you decide to migrate or need assistance setting up these rules in the Multi-Carrier app, the PluginHive support team is available to help with configuration and guidance.

Does PluginHive have any workaround or solution to prevent customers from receiving multiple tracking emails for the same order?

Unfortunately, there is no workaround available to prevent Shopify from sending multiple tracking emails when an order is fulfilled in multiple parts with different tracking numbers. The multiple emails are a result of how Shopify processes fulfillments and sends notifications. Users can explore possible options with Shopify support, but PluginHive itself does not provide a workaround.

Does PluginHive support displaying FedEx Ground or Express parcel rates for smaller shipments as well as FedEx Freight rates for heavier shipments?

The app supports showing all enabled FedEx services applicable for the transaction, including FedEx Ground, Express parcel services, and FedEx Freight LTL services. If parcel rates are not showing for a smaller shipment, verify that: – Your FedEx normal account is properly connected in the PluginHive app for parcel services. – The respective parcel services are enabled under **Settings** > **Rate Settings** > **Carrier Services**. – Shopify shipping profiles do not override or block these rates. – Also, perform live transactions with smaller weight products on your live store to validate what services appear.

Does the PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx plugin support the FedEx LTL Select Shipping service that allows customers to schedule appointments, modify delivery times, and request liftgate services?

The plugin supports FedEx Freight shipments using your connected FedEx Freight account and services such as FedEx Freight Economy. To enable special FedEx Freight services like Lift Gate Pickup, Lift Gate Delivery, and appointment scheduling via Freight Direct, you need to configure these under the app’s backend at **App → Settings → Additional Services → Special Services**. Here, you can enable Lift Gate Pickup and Delivery and look for the Freight Direct option to allow customers to schedule appointments. If you do not see the Freight Direct option, please verify with FedEx that your account supports it, as it may need to be enabled directly with FedEx. The plugin itself provides the interface to configure these services once your account is set up accordingly.

Does the PluginHive app support FedEx event notifications, document uploads, and live rate access?

Currently, PluginHive does **not** support FedEx Event Notifications, which means notifications directly from FedEx are not available through the app due to API limitations in certain locations. However, Shopify order fulfillment tracking notifications will still be sent to your customers. Regarding document uploads and live rate access: – Document uploads are not supported at this time. – Live rate access functionality is not available currently. You can still create and manage shipments with available features, and your customers receive tracking updates upon fulfillment.

Does the PluginHive FedEx app provide a customer-facing package tracking widget on Shopify store pages?

No, the app does not include a built-in tracking widget or portal. To allow customers to track shipments on your site, you must use third-party apps or direct customers to FedEx’s official tracking website.

Has PluginHive updated the FedEx API integration in response to FedEx’s announcement about the new API, and do I need to take any action?

FedEx has extended the deadline to switch to their new API, and PluginHive is actively working on updating the integration before the final deadline. Once the update is live, if any action is required from your side, PluginHive will notify you directly. You do not need to take any immediate steps at this time and can continue using the existing FedEx API without interruption.

Has the PluginHive Shopify FedEx app pricing model changed, and what are the current charges?

Yes, the PluginHive Shopify FedEx App "PH Ship Rate & Track," which was previously free due to a contract with FedEx, will now incur a nominal monthly fee of $19 starting January 1, 2024. This change is because the contract with FedEx that allowed free use has ended. Users are advised to prepare for this fee to continue using the app uninterrupted.

To confirm and troubleshoot shipping rates in the PluginHive Ship Rate & Track app for FedEx: 1. Cross-check the shipping cost by manually creating a shipment on FedEx.com with the same shipment origin, destination, package weight, and services. This helps verify if the rate discrepancy is from FedEx or the app. 2. Review any rate adjustments you’ve set in the PluginHive app under shipping rate adjustments. Also, check if Shopify is applying any separate rate adjustments that might modify displayed prices. 3. Ensure that the package details (weight, dimensions, service options) are accurate and match the actual shipments. Incorrect data can cause abnormal rate quotes. 4. If rates still seem off, reach out for help by scheduling a support call with PluginHive via their appointment booking link for direct troubleshooting.

Verify that the cart and checkout show the expected Freight LTL rates without errors. 3. Check that rate logs within PluginHive include Freight LTL requests and responses for your test transactions. 4. Ensure no other shipping apps interfere with PluginHive’s rate calculations.

For ongoing confidence, monitor checkout behavior with typical Freight shipments and contact PluginHive support if any anomalies arise.

How can I confirm that the FedEx Freight shipping rates shown at checkout are being quoted from my own FedEx account and not Shopify’s default account?

You can verify the source of the freight shipping rates by accessing the PluginHive app’s "Rates Log" feature. The Rates Log records all shipping rate requests and responses, including which account was used to quote those rates. By reviewing these logs, you can confirm that your FedEx account number is being used rather than any default Shopify account.

How can I confirm that the PluginHive PH Ship Rate & Track app is correctly fetching and displaying all available FedEx freight shipping options for large shipments?

To verify the PluginHive app properly retrieves and shows all FedEx freight options: 1. Gather complete shipment information—origin address, destination address, package weight and dimensions, plus quantity of packages. 2. Manually create an identical shipment on FedEx.com to view all available freight service options and their rates. 3. Request shipping rates in the PluginHive app using the exact same parameters. 4. Compare the list of freight services and rates appearing in the app against what FedEx.com shows. 5. If only a limited freight service (e.g., only FedEx 3 Day Freight) appears in the app, check for any service filters or carrier restrictions configured in PluginHive that might be narrowing options. 6. Verify the FedEx account connected to PluginHive supports all freight service levels with no limitations. 7. Confirm that request logs are generated in PluginHive when fetching freight rates; absence of logs indicates communication or parsing failures. 8.

Record the complete shipment details: origin address, destination address, package weight and dimensions, and the number of packages. 2. Manually create an identical shipment on FedEx.com to view all freight service options and their rates available for that shipment. 3. In the PluginHive app, initiate a rate request with exactly the same shipment parameters. 4. Compare the freight services and prices shown in the app against FedEx.com’s offerings. 5. If the app shows only a limited subset (such as only the FedEx 3 Day Freight option), check within the PluginHive app settings for any service filters or carrier restrictions that may limit displayed options. 6. Ensure your FedEx account linked to PluginHive supports all freight service levels with no account restrictions. 7. Confirm that request logs are being generated in PluginHive when fetching freight rates; missing logs indicate communication or parsing issues. 8. If discrepancies persist or options are missing despite correct data and no filters, escalate to PluginHive support with your findings for deeper troubleshooting. This process helps identify whether limited freight options are due to shipment data issues, app filters, account limitations, or technical integration problems.

How can I confirm which FedEx shipping services are enabled for my PluginHive app to troubleshoot rate display issues?

To verify and manage the FedEx shipping services enabled in PluginHive, perform the following: 1. Log into your PluginHive dashboard. 2. Go to App Settings > Account Settings > FedEx Freight (or the relevant FedEx section). 3. Review the list of enabled services: – Ensure services applicable to your shipment weights and destinations are active (e.g., FedEx International Economy®, FedEx International Priority®, etc.). – Disable services irrelevant to your shipment profile, like FedEx Freight Priority if your items are under the minimum weight. 4. Save any changes and test to ensure rates appear on the checkout page. 5. Use the Rates Log feature to review rates offered during each transaction for further insights. Keeping the right mix of services enabled ensures accurate and relevant shipping rates are shown to customers.

How can I connect my FedEx account to display shipping rates on checkout if one of my store locations is missing a contact number and was created by a third party that I do not use for shipping?

To connect your FedEx account and display accurate shipping rates on checkout, follow these steps: 1. Verify your FedEx account details and login at fedex.com to confirm the rates applicable to your shipping locations. 2. Identify all your store locations in the shipping app; if a location was created by a third party and is not used for shipping, you can exclude or deactivate it within the app to prevent errors related to missing contact information. 3. Ensure that all active shipping locations in your account have complete contact details, including phone numbers, to meet FedEx’s integration requirements. 4. If you encounter issues or need assistance, consider scheduling a support call via the PluginHive appointment link to get guided help with the setup and configuration of your FedEx account in the PluginHive app.

How can I connect my FedEx business account to my Shopify store and upload the shipping rates from my FedEx contract using the PH Ship Rate & Track app?

To connect your FedEx business account to your Shopify store and use your FedEx contract shipping rates in the PH Ship Rate & Track app, follow these steps: 1. Install the PH Ship Rate & Track app from the Shopify App Store if not already installed. 2. Open the app dashboard within your Shopify admin panel. 3. Navigate to the FedEx account integration section. 4. Enter your FedEx account credentials and contract details as required by the app. This often involves providing your FedEx account number, meter number, and authentication key. 5. Once connected, the app automatically fetches your FedEx shipping rates based on your contract during the checkout process. 6. You can verify the rates by performing a test transaction in your store’s checkout to see if the FedEx contract pricing is applied correctly. 7. If you encounter any rate discrepancies or issues with fetching your contracted rates, ensure your FedEx account details are accurate and contact PluginHive support for detailed troubleshooting. This process integrates your FedEx business contract shipping rates directly into the Shopify checkout, allowing customers to see real-time, accurate shipping costs based on your negotiated FedEx contract.

How can I disable the PluginHive app so that FedEx shipping options do not show up at checkout on my Shopify store?

To disable the PluginHive app’s FedEx shipping rates from showing up at checkout, follow these steps: 1. Go to the PluginHive App within your Shopify admin. 2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Rate Settings** > **Carrier Services**. 3. Edit the carrier services listed and disable the FedEx service or any other services you do not want to be active. 4. Save your changes. This will prevent those carrier rates from appearing in the customer checkout experience until you decide to enable them again.

How can I enable FedEx Freight LTL services to display as shipping options?

FedEx Freight LTL services are considered special services and require enabling the 'Future Services' option in Shopify shipping settings. To enable: 1. Navigate to Shopify Admin -> Settings -> Shipping and delivery -> Shipping Profiles. 2. Select the profile associated with freight or LTL items. 3. Locate and enable the 'Future Services' option. 4. Optionally, activate at least one standard FedEx service (e.g., FedEx 2Day AM) to verify the display of freight services. 5. Save changes and verify the checkout to ensure freight LTL services are visible.

How can I enable FedEx LTL prices correctly in PluginHive, and why are the checkout shipping rates showing unusually high prices instead of FedEx LTL rates?

To enable FedEx LTL pricing correctly and avoid unusually high shipping rates, ensure the following: 1. Complete all required details specifically under the **FedEx Freight** section in your account settings, including accurate shipment parameters relevant to LTL freight. 2. Check for errors returned by FedEx Freight services during rate quotes, as these commonly cause incorrect or inflated pricing. Common errors include invalid signature options or mismatched shipping addresses. 3. Confirm that your shipping address and account address in FedEx match, since mismatches can cause the FedEx Freight service to fail and default to fallback rates. 4. If encountering signature option errors (e.g., "Package 1 – Signature option type is invalid"), verify your package and signature settings in the app to ensure compliance with FedEx Freight requirements. 5. If you continue experiencing errors, arrange a support session with PluginHive technical specialists who can troubleshoot live via Zoom and review your store setup. 6. Avoid disabling the app’s shipping rates at checkout unless you want to hide inaccurate rates temporarily; instead, focus on resolving the underlying error for correct LTL pricing.

How can I enable PluginHive to access my store for troubleshooting FedEx label generation issues?

To allow PluginHive support to assist with troubleshooting, you need to grant collaborator or app access to your store. To do this: 1. Share the email address provided by PluginHive support (e.g., [email protected] or another specified email) with your store’s admin user with collaborator or app access privileges. 2. Approve the access request from your store’s admin dashboard. 3. Notify PluginHive support once access is granted so they can begin troubleshooting.

How can I enable the option to print or generate freight shipping labels through the PluginHive app?

If the option to create freight shipping labels is not visible, please verify and adjust the following: 1. Confirm the order’s fulfillment location in Shopify is set and matches the billing address linked to your FedEx Freight account. The PluginHive app relies on this to process freight shipments correctly. 2. Disable unsupported signature options. For example, FedEx Freight does not support “Adult Signature” services, so disable that in the shipment options. 3. Ensure that all necessary shipment details, specifically package dimensions and any additional services like Over Length, are accurately entered. Missing critical information can prevent label generation. 4. If the issue persists, approve PluginHive’s collaborator access request sent to your email, providing the support team access to review the order and configuration directly. 5. Provide the specific order number you are testing with so the support team can verify and assist you further.

How can I ensure accurate FedEx shipping rates for my weight plate product using the PluginHive extension?

To get accurate FedEx shipping rates for your weight plate product, follow these steps: 1. Verify the package details on FedEx.com and ensure they match in the PluginHive settings: – Number of Packages: Set to 1 (not multiple packages). – Weight: Enter the total weight of the package (e.g., 132 lbs). – Dimensions: Use the overall package dimensions (e.g., 46.62 x 37.69 x 38 inches). 2. In the packaging settings within the PluginHive app, select the packaging type as "FedEx Standard Freight Box" instead of custom packaging options. 3. To ensure that the FedEx Ground shipping option is returned at checkout, set the product as “Prepacked”: – Go to the PluginHive App > Products. – Select the specific product (e.g., the 33lb Stackable Canopy Weight Plate). – Enable the “Is this product pre-packed” option. This setting ensures the product is shipped in its own box, helping FedEx calculate the correct shipping rate and include Ground service options. 4. Review and save the changes. By following these steps, the shipping rates from PluginHive should align with those displayed directly on FedEx’s site.

How can I ensure I receive timely technical support from PluginHive when critical issues affect FedEx freight shipping options in the Ship Rate & Track app?

To facilitate timely and effective support from PluginHive for FedEx freight issues: 1. Clearly document the problem including affected shipment details (product SKUs, quantities, destinations) and the exact behavior observed (e.g., only one freight service shown, no request logs). 2. Attempt basic troubleshooting steps such as verifying shipment details and manual rate comparisons on FedEx.com before contacting support. 3. Use PluginHive’s official support channels such as their appointment booking link or designated support portal to schedule a support call or ticket. 4. Provide all relevant information upfront (store URL, app version, FedEx account status, screenshots or logs if available). 5. Be aware of PluginHive’s support availability which may have limitations on weekends or holidays, affecting response times. 6. Follow up politely if initial responses delay beyond expected support windows, emphasizing the business impact of the issue. Taking these steps helps prioritize your case and allows PluginHive’s technical team to diagnose and resolve critical shipping issues more efficiently.

How can I ensure my shipping configurations in PluginHive do not disrupt price or inventory settings in my ERP?

To prevent conflicts with ERP systems: 1. Avoid changing product quantities in PluginHive; instead, update dimensions and weight fields to represent shipment units without altering quantity counts. 2. Use product-level settings like Pre-Packed to manage packing logic without changing core product data. 3. Coordinate changes with your ERP team to verify that product updates in PluginHive do not propagate to ERP inventory or pricing. 4. Use PluginHive features that control packing and shipping calculations locally within the app rather than modifying Shopify or ERP product data. This approach maintains ERP integrity while enabling accurate shipping calculations.

How can I ensure that an order with multiple heavy items automatically switches from UPS shipping to FedEx Freight in my Shopify store using PluginHive?

Shopify and PluginHive handle this scenario as follows: – PluginHive’s FedEx app will display FedEx Freight rates when the shipment weight exceeds UPS limits (over 150 lbs), as UPS automatically disables rates beyond its weight restrictions. – However, there is no built-in option within Shopify or PluginHive to set explicit weight restrictions or carrier selection rules that automatically switch shipping options based on quantity or total weight. – Shopify provides all applicable carrier-calculated rates at checkout based on your Shipping Profiles and linked carrier accounts. – If UPS rates are displayed even when the shipment should require freight, it is typically because UPS is still enabled in your Shopify Shipping Profiles and Shopify is showing those rates accordingly. – To enable FedEx Freight rates properly, you must: 1. Add the FedEx app (PluginHive) to your Shopify Shipping and Delivery Settings as a carrier for the appropriate Shipping Zone. 2. Ensure your own UPS account is configured correctly but understand Shopify does not filter rates by weight to exclude UPS automatically. – If UPS rates continue to show for heavy shipments, this stems from Shopify’s rate calculations, not the PluginHive FedEx app. – Therefore, there is currently no mechanism within Shopify or PluginHive to automatically hide all UPS options and force FedEx Freight selections based on total shipment weight or item quantity. – For such conditional shipping logic (hiding or showing carriers based on weight), you would need to explore: • Shopify shipping apps with advanced rate filters or rules. • Custom Shopify scripts or checkout process customizations. • Directly contact Shopify Support to enquire about conditional carrier enabling based on shipment attributes.

How can I ensure that custom letterhead and signature images are successfully saved in the PluginHive app for order fulfillment?

To successfully save custom letterhead and signature images in the PluginHive app, follow these steps: 1. Prepare your images with dimensions not exceeding 700×50 pixels, as required by FedEx. 2. Use an image editing tool to resize or crop your images to match these size restrictions. 3. Upload the resized images via the app’s designated section for letterhead and signature files. 4. Save the changes and refresh the page to confirm the images remain uploaded. By doing this, the app will accept and retain the images, allowing you to proceed with order fulfillment without errors related to missing letterhead.

How can I ensure that the real FedEx 2DAY tracking number from PluginHive overrides the blank or incorrect tracking information initially set by a third-party fulfillment app like Ship Hero in Shopify?

Currently, if a third-party fulfillment solution (e.g., Ship Hero) sends a blank or incorrect tracking number to Shopify first, it can override subsequent tracking updates from PluginHive. There is no built-in feature in PluginHive to automatically override or replace existing tracking information once it has been set by another app. To manage this: 1. Coordinate with your third-party fulfillment provider to prevent them from sending blank or placeholder tracking numbers to Shopify. 2. Configure your fulfillment apps so that PluginHive’s tracking data is the final update sent to Shopify. 3. Avoid “unmapping” or disabling FedEx 2DAY shipping mappings in the third-party app to prevent blank labels or tracking fields. 4. If you must continue parallel shipping flows, establish an internal process to manually update or correct tracking information in Shopify after printing labels via PluginHive. 5. You may also raise a support case with the third-party app to explore options to disable their tracking update or allowing external updates from PluginHive.

How can I ensure timely and effective support from PluginHive for critical FedEx freight shipping issues in the Ship Rate & Track app?

Complete basic troubleshooting yourself such as verifying shipment details and manually comparing FedEx.com rates before contacting support. 3. Use PluginHive’s official support channels—such as their appointment booking link, support portal, or designated email—to submit your case or schedule a call for personalized help. 4. Provide comprehensive information upfront including your store URL, app version, FedEx account status, and relevant screenshots or logs if available. 5. Be aware of PluginHive’s support availability, noting that weekends or holidays might impact response times. 6. Follow up politely if responses take longer than expected, emphasizing the business impact to help prioritize your issue. 7.

How can I fix label generation issues caused by custom products in my orders using PlugInHive?

How can I get accurate shipping rates from two different FedEx accounts (one for packaging and one for LTL shipments) so that the checkout cart switches to the LTL account after a certain weight?

Currently, the PluginHive app supports connecting both FedEx standard and FedEx Freight LTL accounts to show respective rates. However, FedEx Freight Direct surcharges—which affect LTL shipping costs—are only calculated through the FedEx REST API integration, not the existing setup. Because the REST API integration is pending certification and not yet live, the app cannot dynamically switch rates applying the correct LTL surcharges from the appropriate account at this time. As a workaround, this issue cannot be fully resolved until PluginHive activates the FedEx REST API integration. Until then, the rates shown may not accurately reflect the LTL surcharges, causing discrepancies when switching between accounts based on weight.

How can I get assistance with setting up the FedEx account in the PluginHive Ship Rate and Track app?

To get help with configuring your FedEx account in the PluginHive Ship Rate and Track app, you can schedule a support session with the PluginHive team. You have two options: 1.

How can I handle or mitigate shipment rate failures caused by exceeding package limits in FedEx Freight rate calculations?

To mitigate rate failures due to exceeding the package count threshold: 1. Check the total number of packages included in your order or shipment. 2. If it exceeds 100 packages (current limit before enhancement), divide the order into smaller shipments with fewer than 100 packages each. 3. Monitor the shipping app’s updates for the forthcoming support of up to 199 packages per shipment, which will allow larger orders without rate failures. 4. Use draft orders to test shipping rate calculations for varying package counts to identify the threshold where failures occur. 5. Reach out to PluginHive support or your technical team if frequent high-package orders are common and require a more robust interim solution. Breaking down shipments within the current API limits ensures consistent availability of Freight rates until the app upgrade is released.

How can I make the PluginHive app show FedEx Freight shipping rates that match the discounted rates I receive from my FedEx Freight account on the FedEx website?

To ensure the PluginHive app displays accurate FedEx Freight rates that align with the discounted rates from your FedEx Freight account, follow these steps: 1. Verify that you are using FedEx Freight LTL services (e.g., FedEx Freight Economy, FedEx Freight Priority), as these provide LTL rates rather than regular freight services. 2. The common error "the account number entered for FEDEX_FREIGHT could not be validated" typically means your FedEx Freight account is not linked correctly within the app. This often happens if the billing address on your FedEx Freight account does not match what is configured in the app. 3. Log into the PluginHive app, navigate to **Settings > Account Settings**, and update your FedEx Freight account details, especially the billing address, to ensure they match exactly what FedEx has on file. 4. After updating, save the changes and test the rates again during checkout. 5. If the error persists or rates still do not reflect your discounted FedEx Freight LTL pricing, contact your FedEx account representative to verify your account number and billing address details. You may share diagnostic files or XML rate request files with them for troubleshooting. 6. Repeat updating the app settings if any account information changes. This synchronization is essential for accurate rate retrieval.

How can I obtain a complete shipments report for January if the app’s report menu does not provide sufficient date range options?

If the app does not allow generating a shipments report covering the full desired date range (e.g., the entire month of January), you can request a custom order report covering that period directly from PluginHive support. Provide the exact date range (January 1 to January 31) and your store details. PluginHive support can extract all orders processed within that timeframe and send you a comprehensive report as an attachment. This method ensures you receive complete shipment data when built-in report filters are limited.

How can I prevent economy shipping options from appearing for products with a specific freight class, such as LS-1420 with Class_125, so that only priority shipping is available?

To restrict shipping options so that only FedEx Freight Priority service appears for all freight orders, follow these steps: 1. Access the app dashboard and navigate to **Products**, then select **Edit Product** to verify the freight class assigned to your products (e.g., LS-1420 is set to FedEx Freight Class 125). 2. To disable the Economy freight service globally (for all products), go to **App → Settings → Rate Settings → Edit Carrier Service**. 3. Locate the FedEx Freight Economy service and disable it. This action will remove Economy shipping from all freight orders at checkout. Please note, it is currently not possible to disable FedEx Freight Economy shipping selectively for specific products like the LS-1420.

This update may take some time to process. 2. Verify that the billing address for your FedEx Freight account matches the warehouse address from which you ship.

How can I resolve the issue of FedEx Freight LTL shipping rates not displaying in the checkout after recent API changes and service interruptions?

The issue was resolved by PluginHive after consulting and working with FedEx to accommodate the Freight API changes and service disruptions. To address this: 1. No configuration changes are generally needed on your side if you are using the latest version of the PluginHive app, as the fix was applied on the plugin’s backend to parse the new Freight API responses correctly. 2. If you had set up additional shipping methods as temporary alternatives, you may revert to your standard FedEx Freight methods now that the issue is fixed. 3. Verify freight rates are appearing correctly by placing test orders with verified and legitimate addresses. 4. Monitor the rate logs to ensure freight rate requests and responses are appearing properly again. 5. For reference or troubleshooting, review FedEx’s official announcements on their API updates and service interruptions at: – https://www.fedex.com/en-us/developer/announcements.html#web-services – https://developer.fedex.com/api/en-us/announcements/Jan_2025-Interruption_and_Outage_Announcement.html – https://developer.fedex.com/api/en-us/announcements/January_2025-Release_Notes.html If issues persist beyond this, contact PluginHive support for further assistance.

How can I resolve the issue of FedEx Freight shipping rates not showing at checkout in the PluginHive app?

To resolve FedEx Freight shipping rates not appearing at checkout, ensure that the “future services” option is enabled in your Shopify admin under **Settings → Shipping and delivery → App rates**. If this setting is disabled, the PluginHive app cannot display freight rates at checkout. To fix it: 1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel. 2. Navigate to **Settings → Shipping and delivery**. 3. Scroll to the **App rates** section and locate the **future services** option. 4. Enable the **future services** option if it is turned off. 5.

How can I resolve the shipping address error for orders with heavy items like order #4173917 that cannot be shipped at checkout?

The shipping error occurs because the item in order #4173917 weighs 593 lbs, and FedEx only offers Freight services for packages over 150 lbs. To resolve this: 1. Go to your Shopify admin → Settings → Shipping and delivery → Edit general shipping profile. 2. Enable the “Future Services” option. This allows FedEx Freight services (e.g., FedEx Freight Economy, Priority, 1 Day Freight) to appear as shipping options during checkout for heavy packages. 3. Save the settings and test orders with heavy items again to ensure freight options show up. If you need help enabling this setting or testing, feel free to ask.

How can I restrict shipping options to allow only FedEx Overnight for a specific product like a cake that cannot be shipped with 2-day delivery?

To restrict shipping options so that only FedEx Overnight is available for a specific product (e.g., a cake), follow these steps: 1. Check the shipping profile assigned to the product in your store. Products inherit available shipping methods based on their shipping profile. 2. Move the product to a dedicated shipping profile that is configured to allow only FedEx Overnight shipping service. For example, create or use a profile named "Cakes" that has only the FedEx Overnight option enabled. 3. Assign the cake product to the "Cakes" profile instead of a general shipping profile. 4. When the product is in the "Cakes" profile, only the FedEx Overnight shipping method will show at checkout, effectively restricting other options like 2-day shipping. By organizing products into shipping profiles configured with specific shipping services, you can control the allowed shipping options per product.

How can I troubleshoot and fix FedEx shipping rates not appearing correctly when draft orders contain both active and custom products?

If FedEx shipping rates are not displayed correctly in draft orders with mixed product types (active and custom), follow these steps: 1. Check the product types in the draft order and separate active products from custom (non-active) products. 2. Review the weights assigned to each product. Active products requiring freight shipping typically have higher weights (e.g., hundreds of pounds), whereas custom products might have default or low weights (e.g., 1 kg). 3. Adjust the weight of custom products to match or exceed the freight shipping threshold (e.g., update to 68 kg or more) to trigger freight rate calculation. 4. After weight updates, recreate or refresh the draft order to see updated and matching freight shipping options from FedEx. 5. For best results, consider replacing the custom products with active products where feasible to avoid discrepancies in shipping rate calculation. Following these steps ensures FedEx freight services calculate common shipping rates correctly and display options in draft orders.

How can I troubleshoot and verify if the shipping rate issues are related to package configurations or address details in Shopify?

To troubleshoot shipping rate issues linked to package configurations or address details: 1. Verify if any “default package” settings in Shopify are affecting shipping calculations. Note that the default package in Shopify cannot be deleted and is used only for Shopify’s built-in shipping rates, so it shouldn’t affect third-party app rates. 2. Confirm that customer addresses are correctly formatted and have worked in previous successful orders. If an address works in some orders but not others, the issue may not be with the address itself. 3. If you suspect package settings might cause issues, temporarily remove or adjust packages in Shopify and test shipping rates. If unsure how to do this, contact Shopify support. 4. Test creating draft orders with varying package settings to identify if rates differ. This process helps isolate whether the issue lies with package setup or external factors like carrier constraints.

How can I update the freight class for products within the app?

To update the freight class for products: 1. Open the app and navigate to **Settings > Account Settings**. 2. Under **Freight Account Settings**, locate the freight class field. 3.

How can I verify if FedEx Freight shipping services appear as options during checkout and address missing rates?

FedEx Freight service availability may depend on the package type, size, weight, and shipping destination. To verify: 1. Test a draft order with products and quantities expected to qualify for FedEx Freight. 2. Observe the available shipping services returned during checkout or draft order creation in the app. 3. Compare rates returned on your FedEx.com account using the same shipment details. If rates or services appear in FedEx.com but not in the app, it could be due to: – Packaging settings not matching shipment profiles for Freight services. – Specific carrier account configurations or service restrictions. Recreating orders exactly and reviewing package configurations helps diagnose why Freight rates may not show consistently during customer checkout.

How can I verify that the FedEx Freight rate issue has been successfully resolved on my store after recent disruptions?

After confirming availability on FedEx’s platform, test creating shipments within Shopify using PluginHive to ensure the FedEx shipping options appear correctly. 5. If shipping options still do not appear in PluginHive despite FedEx services being up, gather and share diagnostic details with PluginHive support.

Shipping addresses must match addresses registered with your FedEx Freight account or approved for freight pickup/delivery. 3. Package and shipment parameters follow FedEx Freight guidelines, including weight, dimensions, and signature requirements. 4. Any mismatch or error in data can cause rate calculation failures or fallback to high default prices, so accuracy is essential. 5. When errors occur, reviewing error codes and messages (e.g., invalid signature option, address mismatches) helps identify what needs to be corrected. 6. For complex scenarios like multiple fulfillment locations, coordinate with PluginHive support for configuration assistance. 7. Regularly test rates after configuration changes to ensure LTL prices are returned correctly at checkout.

How does shipping rate calculation work in the PluginHive app for FedEx Freight shipments?

PluginHive calculates FedEx shipping rates by sending order details—such as package dimensions, weight, and destination—to FedEx via their API (currently XML API). The rates returned are based on the connected FedEx account(s) and order specifics. For freight shipments, the app fetches rates associated with your freight account if correctly configured. However, FedEx Freight Direct charges are not available via the XML API and therefore aren't included in the app’s quotes at present.

How should I configure product and packaging dimensions in PluginHive to ensure correct freight calculation for multiple boxes?

To configure product and packaging dimensions for accurate freight calculation: 1. Navigate to App > Products and input accurate dimensions (length, width, height) for each product. 2. Do not leave dimensions blank or set to 0x0x0 as this defaults packaging assumptions incorrectly. 3. Under Packaging settings, define the types of boxes you use (e.g., family boxes, chef boxes) with their exact dimension and weight limits. 4. Disable the “Do You Stack Products In Boxes?” option if you want products to be treated as individual boxes rather than stacked into one. 5. Assign products appropriately to these boxes so the system knows which items go into which packaging. 6. Test the configuration by placing products in the cart and viewing shipping rates to verify the freight fees correspond to the number and size of boxes actually shipped. This setup ensures the app properly calculates package counts and dimensions, thus pulling correct freight rates from FedEx for multiple boxes.

How should I enter package information and services to ensure accurate FedEx Freight rate calculations in PluginHive?

To ensure accurate rate calculations and service availability: 1. Specify complete package details including weight, dimensions (length, width, height), and packaging type (e.g., pallet). 2. Make sure to assign the correct freight class (e.g., Class 85) that applies to your shipment. 3. Review and select all applicable special services required for your shipment, such as Over Length, liftgate, or others, directly in the shipment details. 4. Avoid selecting unsupported services for FedEx Freight, such as Adult Signature, which can cause errors or rejection. 5. Updating these details precisely in the PluginHive app will synchronize with FedEx rates and options more reliably and prevent mismatches or missing services.
