Receiving error 'Carrier Authentication Failed'

If you are getting the error Carrier Authentication Failed when attempting to ship with FedEx, this is most likely due to your production key not being activated by their Web Integration Solutions Consultation (WISC) Team.

To get your production key authorized to create shipment Call up FEDEX on  1.877.339.2774 (Monday–Friday 7am–9pm, Saturday 9am–3pm (CST) and ask to speak to the Web Integration Solutions Consultation (WISC) Team. When you speak to the WISC representative you will need to request to enable your API production key so that you can create shipments in Veeqo. You may need to provide them with your account details and the API key, so make sure you have them handy.

Missing quotes or undefined error message

If you are not receiving quotes from your shipping carrier when trying to ship an order or are receiving an undefined error message please the following troubleshooting steps:

  1. Customers address - Double check your customers address. You can do this using a carrier address verifier for the carrier you are trying to use.

  2. Customer email and phone number- Check that the customer has an email address and phone number added to the order. Some carriers will not accept a shipment via the API if these are not present.

  3. Total order weight- Check that the order has a total weight added. The weight needs to be above 0.

  4. Maximum weight allowed by the service- Check that the weight you have added for the order can be accepted by the service you are trying to use.

  5. Ship from address - We will use the location you entered in Veeqo as your ship from address. Check you have a valid location address in settings.
