Requirements
Connecting your FedEx account to Square Online to use Real Time Shipping and requires two things: a FedEx account number and a FedEx meter number.
Account number: To locate your FedEx account number, go to FedEx.com and click on your account name. Click My Profile > Account Management to find your account number on the page.
Meter number: To locate your FedEx meter number, go to the FedEx Developer Resource Centre and click on Move to Production > Get Production Key. Answer the application questions, then complete the rest of the form with your information and agree to the terms. You’ll need to enter your FedEx account number during this process. Once you’ve submitted the form, you’ll see your meter number on the confirmation page. You’ll also receive an email with the same information, which you may want to save for future reference.
