What it does
Setting flat shipping fees often means guessing, and that can leave you overcharging some customers and losing money on others. This plugin replaces the guesswork by requesting rates straight from FedEx for each order. It works with WooCommerce and uses the weight and dimensions of your products to request quotes, so the prices customers see at checkout reflect what FedEx would charge for that shipment, whether it is going across town or overseas.
The extension is designed for stores with a base country of the United States or Canada that sell in USD or CAD, which matches how FedEx handles billing. You can offer services ranging from First Overnight and Priority Overnight to Ground, Freight and Smart Post. Product units are expected in pounds and inches, though other units are converted automatically. It also supports the legacy FedEx SOAP API on servers with SOAP enabled and works with High Performance Order Storage.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores based in the United States or Canada

Questions about FedEx Shipping
Does this work if my store is based outside the US or Canada?
The extension is designed for stores whose base country is the United States or Canada and that use USD or CAD as the store currency. Those settings match the FedEx billing structure the plugin is built around, so stores outside that setup may not get the expected results.
Which FedEx services can I offer customers?
You can offer a wide range of FedEx services, including First Overnight, Priority Overnight, Ground, Freight and Smart Post, among others. This lets you give customers options for different delivery speeds and parcel types, from small packages to freight shipments.
My products use kilograms and centimeters. Is that a problem?
The plugin primarily works with pounds and inches, but it can automatically convert other weight and dimension units. That means you can usually keep your existing product measurements and still get FedEx rate quotes at checkout.
Do I need WooCommerce to use it?
Yes. This is a WooCommerce extension, so it requires WooCommerce to be active. It adds FedEx as a shipping method inside WooCommerce and also works with the High Performance Order Storage system.
Is FedEx Shipping free?
The code of FedEx Shipping is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of FedEx Shipping is this?
Version 4.8.3, released Oct 7, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update FedEx Shipping?
