This document provides an overview on using FedEx One Rate in ShipWise.
What is FedEx One Rate?
FedEx One Rate is a discounted flat rate pricing based on the FedEx Two Day and Overnight express services. One Rate is not a separate service, it is a pricing structure linked to the Express services.
Why is FedEx One Rate Useful?
Pricing is flat rate; it does not vary by order weight and is not account specific although it does vary by destination zone.

Using FedEx One Rate with ShipWise
Rates are obtained from the FedEx API.
Labels are obtained from the FedEx API.
There are no specific carrier codes in ShipWise for FedEx One Rate.
Note: Custom ship methods must be created and assigned a FedEx One Rate tier in order for the One Rate pricing to be returned in the rate call. A ShipWise support technician can assist in creating the necessary One Rate ship methods if needed.
FedEx One Rate Packaging
Previously, FedEx One Rate services required the use of FedEx designated packaging with an assigned indicator (Small, Med, Large, XLarge, Tube, Pak, Envelope) in order to return rates.
Now, you are able to use personal packaging for shipping with One Rate in addition to the FedEx designated packaging options.

The ship method is now ready for use.
Note: Rates are determined by the total cubic inches of the package. If you are unsure which One Rate service to use for the package size, see the following link: FedEx One Rate Packaging
Total cubic inches are calculated by multiplying the dimensions of the package: LxWxH.
Always round to the nearest whole inch to determine the most accurate rate.
