There are two different types of FedEx accounts that you can set up:
- 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.
- Your own FedEx account: With your own account, you first need to have your own account set up with FedEx, which you will then add to PitneyShip Enterprise. With this type of FedEx account, FedEx invoices you for the FedEx labels you print through PitneyShip Enterprise when you use them.
