FedEx missing from WooCommerce Add Shipping Method choices

    FedEx (BASIC) installed and configured with production values. Have also enabled debug but no errors or messages appear in the cart.

    As per the WooCommerce instruction video on adding Shipping Zones, I should also see the FedEx extension as an option. Only the default 3 WooCommerce options appear.

    Read a prior post herein that is marked ‘solved’ but does not appear to have been confirmed by the OP. The answer appears to mean that there is no need to follow the WooCommerce instructions and add this FedEx extension to the shipping zones, that the FedEx options will appear within the cart solely if configured and enabled.

    Well, I have configured the extension fully and correctly, as best can be told.
    However, no errors appear in the cart, also no FedEx shipping options appear in the cart, and the option within the Shipping Zones configuration window is absent.

    I deleted all other shipping methods from the shipping zone and re-tested the cart and I now see the FedEx shipping options.

    Can there not be other shipping methods available if we want to use this extension? What if we want to use the UPS or Stamps.com extensions and give our customers an option between methods?

    I need to be able to utilize WooCommerce Shipping Classes to group product types and provide restricted default shipping methods based on their classification.

    I surmise that I cannot use the Shipping Zones > Methods > Classes option of applying these rules for shipping. Am I correct?

    Hello Molden,

    Thank you for reaching to us.

    1) Shipping?Zone?is very helpful when you configure?Shipping?options like Free or Flat rate?shipping?for different?zones.

    However, our FedEx plugin is an independent plugin (Which do not appear in WooCommerce shipping zones) which works at domestic level and international level. The plugin has inbuilt features like restricting the method at the country level or enable/disable desired domestic or international?shipping?services.

    Using?Shipping?zone?is overkill for a complete?shipping?solution like FedEx/UPS. As you will end up configuring the same setting under multiple?zones.

    2) You can use other shipping methods also along with FedEx. There will not be any issues.

    3) FedEx Shipping Services can be enabled/Disabled based on WooCommerce shipping classes using a code snippet.

    Thank you for the reply.

    We do not want to disable FedEx shipping by class but rather restrict which shipping is available by class.

    For example, Class1 products must only return FedEx Ground option whereas Class2 products must only show FedEx Air option. Class3 products can have a choice between either FedEx option or even USPS Priority Mailing option.

    Right now, the extension is only permitting both FedEx options to appear along with the USPS option. This would mislead customers who would likely want to process their Class 1 or Class2 orders using the least expensive option even though we cannot ship, by law, using it.

    I am getting the picture that your plug-ins are not able to be associated to shipping classes in the WooCommerce functionality. Rather, they operate entirely outside the WooCommerce ‘normal’ or powerfully flexible functions and configurations.

    Hello Molden,

    You can achieve the Business case by using the same code snippet as we mentioned in our previous reply.
    https://www.xadapter.com/hide-shipping-methods-shipping-classes-exist-not-exist-cart/

    Class1– Hide all services except “FedEx ground”
    Class2– Hide all Services Except “FedEx Air”
    Class3– Do not hide any services.

    We would like to know how you want to treat when a combination of these class products appear on the cart?
    For the above case, we have a code snippet to split the cart to show services based on class.

    Veeresh,

    A combination of class products would either ship via the lowest common method or separately under their respective available shipping class for that separate cost.

    For example, long guns only ever ship via FedEx ground but if an order has a long gun AND a sling and a magazine (items that can ship via USPS Priority Mail) the customer would be given the option to have them all ship together via FedEx Ground under the one shipment cost or split out the USPS items and pay for that separately.

    Hello Molden,

    Thank you for explaining your requirement.
    We have a code snippet to split the cart based on Shipping class.
    and offer shipping rates based on their class.

    Ex: from our previous response on shipping class,
    If Class1 and class3 products appear in your cart, the cart will split into two parts. then Class1 products will have ONLY “FedEx ground” (If you hide USPS services also)
    and class3 products will have all FedEx and USPS services.
    If Class 1,2,3 products will appear in cart, then it will split into 3 parts with applicable shipping services.

    however, these customizations are for our Premium customers only.
    If you need further information on this, kindly raise a request HERE

    Thank you.
