FedEx Ship Manager (FSM) Direct was designed to allow customers to connect directly to the FedEx back end systems using their own communications protocol. Welcome to FSM Direct!
You can compose FedEx XML Transactions to interface between your e-commerce application and the FedEx server and vice versa.
This solution is applicable only to those customers that have the development resources and knowledge to develop their own FedEx interface.
