At the end of May, 2012, FedEx has deprecated the API which permitted this contribution to work. This contribution is no longer viable.

There is a Zen Cart version available for $75, buit would require extensive porting to work with osCommerce: https://www.numinix.com/zen-cart-modules/shipping/fedex-web-services-shipping-labels
Mercury shipping at http://www.sonicode.com/mercury.php, works, but at a $199.00 fee.

There are several people looking to update this contribution with projects at freelancer.com. Hopefully, one of them will post an updated, free version for the community. I have not been able to locate a free version of this excellent contribution which works with FedEx Web Services as of June 15, 2012.

On installation, you will have to go through the FedEX certification process again. First, establish a test account, then provide FedEx with test labels, then request production credentials. Ugh.

Download is merely a text message of this contribution's status.

We're getting an odd error just recently when trying to cancel a Fedex Ground shipment. The error message is:

ERROR: body contains no data unable to process cancel_ground

The problem is fixed by changing ship_fedex.php

$cancelData = $fedex_keys+$cancelData;

to:

$cancelData = $fedex_vars+$cancelData;

For those who are getting
ERROR: FedEx Return Error F051 : Meter logon failed.
might want to try

/admin/includes/fedexdc.php

at about line 56

- added strtotime() fix from last upload
- added little blue 'F' to all the buttons to make them stick out better in the Admin order area.

no other changes

To remove error message 'Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: Called with an empty time parameter. in /home/epigente/public_html/catalog/track_fedex.php on line xxx' when tracking packages that haven't been delivered yet:


catalog/admin/track_fedex.php

On line ~118 in //format date, insert:

if ($signed_by)

So that it looks like:

// format date
if ($signed_by)
$delivery_date = strtotime($delivery_date);
$status_note = $track_Ret['1159-'.$i.'-1'];




catalog/track_fedex.php

On line ~128 in //format date, insert:

if ($signed_by)

So that it looks like:

// format date
if ($signed_by)
$delivery_date = strtotime($delivery_date);
$status_note = $track_Ret['1159-'.$i.'-1'];

Printing to FedEx Thermal Label printer is now supported.

Has been tested on Zebra LP2844.

Printing in v2.0 is also defaulted to Thermal instead of Laser in v1.x. Please note that the Page Setup for Margins must be changed to all zeros before printing to the thermal printer.

This Full Package is built upon full package of v1.2b with contributions up to mthierfelder.

For upgraders from 1.2.x to 2.0:
Backup
catalog/admin/ship_fedex.php
catalog/admin/fedex_popup.php

Add the differences in the following 3 files:
catalog/admin/ship_fedex.php
catalog/admin/fedex_popup.php
catalog/admin/includes/english/ship_fedex.php

Copy the new files:
catalog/admin/fedex_popup_laser.php

In implementing a Canadian based store with the the Fedex Real Time Quotes and the FedEx Automated Labels there were 3 noteworthy modifications that I had to complete. These fixes would be important for anyone who ships to Canada in addition to those of us who ship from within.

The first is documented already for realtime quotes, a problem with the insurance value currency for stores using non USD.
The second is adding abbreviations for Canadian Provinces for Automated Labels.
The third is a function to remove spaces from postal codes (PCs are commonly written with a space but Fedex does not allow a space in the API).

FedEx recently changed the URL structure used to return tracking results. Simply change one item in /admin/includes/english/ship_fedex.php, from this:
define('URL_TO_TRACK1', 'http://www.fedex.com/cgi-bin/tracking?action=track&tracknumbers=');

to this:

define('URL_TO_TRACK1', 'http://www.fedex.com/Tracking?action=track&tracknumbers=');

Now your customers won't see the annoying redirect screen when they try to track the package from the email link.

Allows you to see the
'Ship Fedex', 'Cancel Shipment', 'FedEx Label' button on the admin 'Edit Orders' screen.

Just replace 1 line in catalog/admin/orders.php.

Depending on your way of operation, this simple tweak can save you lots of time and hassle.

Requirements:
Intended for v1.2b and below.

NOT a full package. Only install instructions for the tweak is attached.

This is a repackage of the package below. There were still a couple of files missing (mainly the admin buttons). I compiled this as I did a first time install, so I am thinking it should be all there now.

Thanks to everyone who helped in this contribution, it is going to make my life so much better!

NOTE: There are no file edits in this version. Only addition of missing files and a cleanup of the install.txt for ease of reading.

- Repacked file with all the needed files that have slowly been left out in more and more in each version since 1.06. Should be helpful for new installer.
- Added logic so it automatically defaults to the next day shipping if after 5PM or your defined time & also it will automatically set packages you are trying to ship on weekends to ship on Monday
- New feature: detects if there is a company name, if so defaults to ground, save you cash, or if no company name it defaults to home delivery so you are not pentalized by FedEx.
- Changed line 310 in fedexdc.php to make it more compatible, it was causing errors on my newer sever and PHP.

Sorry, forgot that the shipping_manifest in the database needed to be updated as well. Here is new package with changes to the database.

This package includes 1 file, ship_fedex.php. In this file I have added Saturday Delivery, Package Dimensions, Hold At Location, Ground Shipping, Ground Shipping Auto Proof of Delivery.

I updated "homewetbar's" addition with the fileds to show the adddress of customer and the "ship to" fields of the ship_fedex.php file.

Completely repackaged.

Enjoy!

- New feature displays ship to and bill to name so you can easily identify packages.
- New feature displays chosen ship method.
- Fix to calculations for weight now displays weight properly.
- Fixed invoice is now transmitted to FedEx in invoice field instead of PO field. This helps when you have to search your fedex transaction history.
- New Box for declared value (previously it automatically pluged in the order total, now you can change it to avoid heafty FedEx fees for orders over $100)

Actually, this is my fix that I gave to yeah,yeah,yeah.

in fedexdc.php
comment this line to look like this.

//if (empty($match[1])) continue;


Credit goes to Jim mintz not to yeah,yeah,yeah

## FedEx Automated Labels ##

This oscommerce contribution, when properly configured in a shop with a valid
FedEx account, provides the following:

- From the admin section, a ship request can be sent directly to FedEx for any
number of orders.

- A pickup date can be scheduled

- Shipment and packaging type can be specified

- If an order requires multiple packages, this can be specified,
along with the weight for the individual packages

- When a valid shipment request is made, the FedEx label is returned
(multiple labels are returned for multi-piece shipments)

- Information about the shipment is written to a shipping manifest (new table,
shipping_manifest)

- Through the admin section, the administrator can:

-- cancel the shipment
-- track the shipment
-- view and print the label
-- view and print the shipping manifest for a selectable date
-- purge the shipping manifest data for the current date

- If an order has been shipped, the customer will see an option to "track this shipment"
in the order history. Order tracking is kept onsite, they won't be sent to fedex.com.
