2a. Connection Settings
Here you will see Connection Settings Tab of Eniture – FedEx LTL Freight Quotes
Billing Account
Number
Your FedEx Billing Account Number. This is always the main account
number on the account and is almost always the account number you would
use if you were shipping a parcel shipment. If you don’t have one please
contact FedEx.
Meter Number The Meter Number you obtained from FedEx.
Password The Password you obtained from FedEx.
Authentication
Key Your Authentication Key.
Shipper
Account
Number
FedEx Freight identifies a specific account number for what it refers to as
the “Shipper Account Number”. Often it is the same as the Billing Account
Number, but not always. If you aren’t sure, contact FedEx Customer
Support.
Billing Address The Billing Address on record for the main FedEx account.
Physical
Address The Physical Address associated with the Shipper Account Number.
Third Party
Account
Number
FedEx Freight will issue a different account number if your shipments have
origin and destination addresses that don’t match the address on file. This is
common if you tend to drop ship items from vendors to customers or
suppliers. If you have one of these account numbers, enter it here.
Plugin License
Key
The Plugin License Key is issued by Eniture Technology. A license key is
provided to registered users only. If you already have a license key but
don’t recall what it is, sign into eniture.com and retrieve it from the My
Licenses tab of the dashboard. Otherwise, access the product FedEx LTL
Freight Quotes detail page, select a subscription package and complete the
registration process.
When you’re done save your connection settings and then test them by clicking on the Test
Connection button at the bottom of the section. A message will display telling you if the
connection to the FedEx servers was successful. If you receive an error, confirm the values you
entered and try again. Be particularly attentive to capitalization. Most of the information you
enter in this section is case sensitive.
2b. Identify your warehouse and drop ship locations
Click the Add button in the appropriate sections to add warehouse and drop ship locations.
Warehouses should have a complete inventory of all products not otherwise identified as drop
shipped items. If you have more than one warehouse defined, the warehouse closest to the
shopper will be used to retrieve shipping rate estimates. You should define at least one
warehouse, even if all of your products are drop shipped. This ensures that quotes will be
returned in the event the drop ship location was overlooked when the product entry was created.
Drop ship locations usually represent vendors that supply items that you don’t inventory. These
items are shipped directly to your customer on your behalf. When an order includes drop shipped
items the shopping cart will display a single figure for the shipping rate estimate that is equal to
the sum of the cheapest option for each shipment required to fulfill the order.
2c. Quote settings
Click on the link for Quote Settings and make your selections.
Label As
Identify how you want the quote labeled in the checkout process. A
common choice for this field is “LTL Freight” or “FedEx Freight”. If
left blank quotes will be labeled “FedEx Freight” and then “Economy”
or “Priority”.
Quote Service Options
Select which FedEx Freight services you want to be quoted to your
shoppers. To make multiple selections hold down the Crtl key (PC) or
Command key (Mac) and click on the service. Selected services will
be displayed only if the service is available to the destination. Check
the FedEx service guide or FedEx.com for a description of its
services.
Show Delivery Estimate When checked, the carrier’s estimated transit time will be displayed.
Always Quote
Residential Delivery
When checked, the quotes will include the carrier’s residential
delivery fee.
Residential Address
Detection
Add-on to automatically detect if shipment address is residential. See
next section.
Auto-renew
Displays only if the Residential Address Detection extension is
installed.
Choose a plan that best meets your needs. The credit card associated
with the quote extension license will be billed immediately and the
plan will become your current plan. Your choice will be retained for
the auto-renew option. You can change your auto-renew selection at
any time. Plans automatically renew at the end of every monthly
billing cycle or upon the depletion of the current plan. To prevent a
renewal, choose Disable from the list of options.
Current plan
Displays only if the Residential Address Detection extension is
installed.
Displays information about the current plan and the start and end dates
of the current subscription period.
Current usage
Displays only if the Residential Address Detection plugin is installed.
Displays information about the consumption of the current plan. The
date shown is the UTC timestamp of the last time a residential address
detection event occurred.
Suspend use
Displays only if the Residential Address Detection extension is
installed.
Checking this box temporarily suspends the Residential Address
Detection extension. It does not permanently disable it and if the
current monthly billing cycle expires, a new plan will be activated. To
disable the extension, deactivate it or choose Disable from the Auto-
renew drop down.
Always quote lift gate
delivery
When checked, the returned quotes will include each carrier’s lift gate
delivery fee.
Offer lift gate delivery
as an option
An additional option for LTL freight will be offered that includes the
lift gate delivery fee.
Always include lift gate
delivery when a
residential address is
detected
Displays only if the Residential Address Detection extension is
installed.
When enabled, if a residential delivery address is detected the lift gate
delivery fee will be included in the shipping rate estimate. In such
cases, the option to Offer lift gate delivery as an option will be
suppressed, even if enabled. Enabling both the Offer lift gate delivery
as an option setting and the Always include lift gate delivery when a
residential address is detected setting allows commercial customers to
choose whether or not lift gate service is needed while always
requiring it for residential customers.
Hold At Terminal
The Advanced Plan is required to use this feature. If you aren’t on the
Advanced Plan the words Advanced plan required will be displayed.
Click on the Advanced plan required text to upgrade your plan and
gain access to the feature.
When checked, an option to have the order held at the delivering
terminal will be one of the shipping methods presented to the user.
The quoted amount will be the same as a quote to the ship to address
if it were a commercial address and would not require lift gate
delivery (the “standard LTL rate “). This will be a more economical
option for customers who would otherwise be subject to the residential
address and/or lift gate delivery fee(s).
Handling Fee / Mark Up
Increases the amount of the returned quote by a specified amount prior
to displaying it in the shopping cart. Enter an amount and use the field
below to identify the unit of measure. A “5.0” entered with a unit of
measure of “percent (%)” will mark up the rate by 5 percent. A “5.0”
entered with a unit of measure of “flat rate” will mark the rate up by
$5.00.
Discounts Identify whether your LTL rates are calculated off of a negotiated or
promotional discount.
Return FedEx Freight
quotes when an order’s
parcel shipment weight
exceeds 150 LBS
When checked, the LTL Freight Quote plugin will return quotes when
an order’s total weight exceeds 150 lbs, even if none of the products
have settings to indicate that it will ship LTL. To increase the
accuracy of the returned quote(s), all products should have accurate
weights and dimensions.
2c (i). Residential Address Detection
It is another Eniture extension for Magento 2 that works with Eniture’s LTL
Freight Quotes and Small Package Quotes extensions to detect if an address is commercial or
residential.
