Setting up a FedEx account in PitneyShip Pro or PitneyShip Enterprise

• FedEx PB Rates account
  • For your entire enterprise/organization
  • For specific locations
• Your own FedEx account

FedEx PB Rates account

With a FedEx PB Rates account, you do not need to have your own FedEx account, and can instead take advantage of Pitney Bowes's pre-negotiated rates. Pitney Bowes charges your credit card on file for each FedEx label and forwards those payments on to FedEx. Credit card fees vary by location and are shown below the label cost on the Create Shipping Label screen.
