How to get Fedex testing tracking number?

Question

I'm configuring FEDEX shipping in Magento website. I got test account number, password, API key and meter number by login in test FEDEX account. I configured myself in Magento. Looks like everything fine. But I don't know how to test is Track Order.

So where can I get tracking number for shipping methods? Should I enter randomly or how can I get that? I tried some forum suggested numbers. But I got below error in my popup:

Tracking information is currently not available

I also checked my shipping_fedex log file in Magento. got logged some error codes in printed array. That's I give in below.

**ERROR log**

[result] => stdClass Object (

FEDEX help:

What Numbers Can I Track?

Track by Tracking Number: You can enter up to 30 tracking numbers at a time. You can enter any combination of FedEx Express, FedEx Express Freight, FedEx Ground, FedEx SmartPost, FedEx Freight, or FedEx Custom Critical tracking numbers. Please ensure that you enter only one tracking number per line.

Edit: I used "99999999999" as per Derek suggestion. But I got below response. Still same error in pop up. What does mean __pid =>2432?

Answer 1

In addition to: 123456789012

You can also use: 111111111111

** Every carrier (UPS, USPS, etc...) has lots of tracking numbers for lots of use-cases, but not FedEx... I find that very strange.

* Also... I am guessing FedEx expects you to use real tracking numbers even in their test environment. It's how I have been testing for multiple use-cases.

I hope this helps anyone, I have spent a while digging around.

Here is a good one I pulled out of a code sample in the developer docs.

Answer 3

You may try getting the ship functionality working first. That will provide you a tracking no that can be used in testing tracking. I did it this way and it works for me!

Answer 4

Your question is not at all stupid. I upvoted it.

The fedex documentation is horrible and doesn't mention how to use their services while testing and after moving to production. Their support is worse.

While I was rambling in the internet, I found a page mentioning the tracking number 123456789012 as a test number. Use it with your test credentials (key, password, account number and meter number), while you're setting your service path to https://wsbeta.fedex.com:443/web-services/track, and the request will return a valid response that you can build on.

Here’s a list of static tracking numbers that can be used in the FedEx test environment:

449044304137821 = Shipment information sent to FedEx
149331877648230 = Tendered
020207021381215 = Picked Up
403934084723025 = Arrived at FedEx location
920241085725456 = At local FedEx facility
568838414941 = At destination sort facility
039813852990618 = Departed FedEx location
231300687629630 = On FedEx vehicle for delivery
797806677146 = International shipment release
377101283611590 = Customer not available or business closed
852426136339213 = Local Delivery Restriction
797615467620 = Incorrect Address
957794015041323 = Unable to Deliver
076288115212522 = Returned to Sender/Shipper
581190049992 = International Clearance delay
122816215025810 = Delivered
843119172384577 = Hold at Location
070358180009382 = Shipment Canceled

Answer 6

The above list of tracking numbers will indeed work when pointed to the following server endpoint:

https://wsbeta.fedex.com:443/web-services/track

Note that the only time these numbers will not work is during FedEx's scheduled maintenance windows.
