How can I confirm FedEx Ground Economy is properly connected to my FedEx account for Shopify?

The most reliable way to confirm this is to generate a test shipment using Ground Economy and check whether a valid rate and label are returned without errors. If it fails, verifying directly with FedEx that the service is active on your account is the next step, since Ground Economy eligibility is tied to account-level activation.

To test this reliably on your Shopify store, you can use PH Ship, Rate & Track for FedEx, which lets you generate test labels for Ground Economy shipments, so you can confirm the service is fully connected before relying on it for live orders.
