To integrate FedEx shipping rates with Magento 2 using the REST API, along with product dimensions and auto address validation, you would typically follow these steps:

  1. Create a FedEx Developer Account:
    • Go to the FedEx Developer Resource Center and sign up for a developer account.
    • Obtain your FedEx Developer credentials, including the client id, client secret and account number.
  2. Enable the FedEx Shipping Method in Magento 2:
    • Log in to your Magento 2 admin panel.
    • Go to Stores > Configuration > Sales > Shipping Methods.
    • Enable the FedEx shipping method.
    • Enter the account details obtained from the FedEx Developer account.
  3. Configure Product Dimensions:
    • Magento 2 doesn’t natively support product dimensions out of the box. You may need to use a third-party extension or customize your product attributes to include dimensions.
  4. Integrate FedEx API with Magento 2:
  5. Implement Auto Address Validation:
    • You can enable FedEx’s address validation feature by configuring it in your FedEx account settings.
    • The FedEx API should automatically validate addresses if it’s enabled in your account.
  6. Test the Integration:
    • After configuring the FedEx API in Magento 2, test the integration by placing orders with various product dimensions and addresses.
    • Ensure that the FedEx shipping rates are calculated accurately, and address validation works as expected.
  7. Debugging and Troubleshooting:
    • Monitor the Magento 2 logs and the FedEx API response for any errors.
    • Ensure that your server allows outgoing requests to the FedEx API endpoint (usually https://developer.fedex.com/api/en-us/catalog/rate.html#/api).
    • Check the Magento 2 and FedEx API documentation for troubleshooting guidance.
  8. Stay Updated:
    • Keep your Magento 2 installation and any extensions up to date to ensure compatibility with the latest features and security patches.

Always refer to the official documentation of Magento 2 and FedEx for the most accurate and up-to-date information. Additionally, make sure to comply with FedEx’s terms of use and data protection regulations.
