Hi,
I just started using Kartris not too long ago and have been starting to set up products.
My company uses FedEx to ship and I was wondering if there was a possibility to utilize some sort of plugin that my customers can use?
I noticed there was ones already for UPS and USPS.

We don't have fedex at present, but would be happy to provide code for UPS and USPS if you fancy trying this. It should in theory be possible to build a similar plugin for Fedex.

I am also needing to develop a plugin to support FedEx. I've seen several people state they are in need of this - has anyone developed a FedEx plugin they are willing to share?
Can I get the the UPS and USPS plugin code? I've found some of the payment gateway plugins, but haven't located the UPS and USPS plugin code anywhere on the site.
It looks like I may need to make some modifications to those plugins for my client, and that would be very helpful in developing the FedEx plugin if I need to go down that road on my own.
Thanks!

We had worked on a Fedex plugin but never managed to finish it. We've zipped up the shipping gateway code into a solution, it can be downloaded here:
http://www.kartris.com/Downloads/Kartris_Shipping_Plugins_SDK_v1.000.zip
Would be great if you do get this working and could share the code so we can add it back into the project.

I wish to see this soon onboard!

I've completed a Fedex plugin. Below is a link to the updated source code:
http://www.ctgsoftware.com/downloads/Kartris_Shipping_Plugins_SDK_v1.000.zip
My client had a requirement to be able to rename and suppress shipment options coming back through the gateway. UPS already allowed for this through the UPSServiceCodes.XML file. So I modified the USPS Gateway to include a USPSServiceCodes.xml file that would do the same, and implemented Fedex with a FedexServiceCodes.xml file to do the same. You can change the Name of any service to adjust the display name, or remove the service entirely from the XML to suppress it from the available ship options.

That looks great. Do you have any info on the steps required to set this up, such as what kind of account and settings are needed in the Fedex side of things? I can get that written up in the userguide.
If we include this code, we'd want to put GPL v2 licensing/warranty on it, and include details or your copyright as well as ours on some of the base code. Do you have a preference for URL and name in any copyright message in the code? We'd also like to put a link/credit on the site and in any release notes too. Can PM to me if you prefer.

Developers would want to sign up for FedEx Web Services / Rate Service. They can get documentation and sign up here: http://www.fedex.com/us/developer/web-services/index.html
Here is a rundown of the Settings in Kartris:

DeveloperKey - This is assigned by FedEx when you sign up
DeveloperPassword - This is assigned by FedEx when you sign up
AccountNumber - This is assigned by FedEx when you sign up
MeterNumber - This is assigned by FedEx when you sign up
ShopCountryCode - The country code of the store location shipments will take place from
ShopPostalCode - The postal code of the store location shipments will take place from
RateResidential - Indicates if rates returned should be residential. This should be set to TRUE for most stores, but can be set to FALSE in strictly B2B scenarios
PackageDimensionInches_hwl - Optional. If left blank no package information is included in the rate request. Otherwise the height, width, length of the package in inches.
InsuredValue - Optional. If left blank, no insurance is included in the rate request. Otherwise the value to insure for the package.
Fedex_RateWebReference_Rate - https://ws.fedex.com:443/web-services/rate for production credentials or https://wsbeta.fedex.com:443/web-services/rate for testing credentials
Status - Needs to be ON
