Pitney Bowes FedEx Rate Account

With this type of FedEx account, Pitney Bowes charges your credit card on file for FedEx labels and forwards that payment on to FedEx. You do not need to have your own FedEx account in order to create this type of a account. Credit card fees are shown below the label cost on the Create Shipping Label screen. Fees vary by location. This type of FedEx account does not support manifests.

1. Select Settings > Carriers.
2. Select the Activate button next to FedEx.
   
3. Select FedEx terms and conditions to read the agreement. When you are finished reading the agreement, select Close.
4. Select I Accept. The account will be added with the Display Name of PB-Fedex Rates.

Note: You will need to select a payment method for this account under Settings > Payment Methods.

If you wish, you can display the credit card fees on the Summary Receipt that can be printed with the label. To do so, go to Settings > Label Options > Use Summary Receipt and check Credit Card Fee.
