Connect FedEx to Wilph
FedEx Developer credentials let Wilph read tracking and delivery status for your FedEx shipments.
- Roughly how long
- About 15 minutes
- Who can do it
- Anyone with a FedEx account can register on the developer portal.
Before you start
- A fedex.com login.
- Your nine-digit FedEx account number, if you have one.
Step by step
Create a project on the FedEx Developer Portal
Sign in at developer.fedex.com and create a project. Select the Track API — a project without it returns nothing useful to Wilph.
Copy the API key and secret key
FedEx shows both on the project page once it is created. The secret key is the one to guard.
Move the project to production
A new FedEx project starts in sandbox and reads only test shipments. Promoting it to production is a separate step on the portal, and it issues a different key pair.
Sandbox and production keys are not interchangeable. Save the pair matching the environment you pick in Wilph.
Paste them into Wilph
In Wilph, open Dashboard → Integrations → FedEx → Connect and save the API key and secret key.
What Wilph asks for
The exact fields on the connection form, in order.
- API key
The client key for your project in the FedEx Developer Portal.
- Secret keyStored encrypted
The client secret paired with the API key above.
- FedEx account numberOptional
Required for rate and ship endpoints; tracking alone does not need it.
- Environment
FedEx projects start in sandbox and are promoted to production separately.
The secret key is encrypted before storage; the API key and account number are stored encrypted alongside it.
Create a FedEx Developer project ↗If something goes wrong
Everything returns empty, with no error.
This is the usual sign of sandbox credentials in a live setting. Sandbox knows nothing about real parcels.
FedEx rejects the account number.
It has to be the account the shipment was billed to, without spaces or dashes.
