FedEx worldwide
First, you should know that FedEx is the world’s largest commercial shipping company. In 2019, it achieved profits estimated at $67 billion.
But what matters to us now is
How to link your online store to your FedEx account
- You must register a new account from here
- You must download the FedEx API explanation files from here
- Then, the programmer begins programming the integrated shipping system on your site
- After completing its programming according to the instructions of the explanation file, an approval request is submitted from here
- After approving the programming, you can start using the FedEx global platform
What is wrong with FedEx is that it does not have ready-made applications to link it to your site, as is the case with DHL, but what distinguishes it from DHL is the somewhat cheaper shipping prices, which makes it the first choice for all giant online stores in the Arab world such as Souq.com, Noon and Jumia
Aramex
Aramex provides several solutions for e-store owners who rely primarily on domestic shipping from merchants to customers within the Arab world. You can quickly start relying on the company today to store and ship your products, collect money, and deposit it into your bank account.
