Error:

Special service is missing Signature option required. Customer documents cannot be requested for return. Only FedEx generated documents can be returned


Causes of the Issue:

  • Missing Signature Option: FedEx requires a signature option for certain shipments, and it may not be enabled in your settings.

  • Non-FedEx Generated Documents: FedEx only allows returns with documents generated through their system. Manually uploaded documents may not be accepted.

  • Incorrect Service Selection: Some FedEx services mandate signature confirmation, and if not selected, the shipment may fail.


Steps to fix:

1). Verify Signature Requirement in FedEx Settings

  • In Webgility Desktop go to Connections then Shipping and click on Shipping Settings.
    ​

  • Navigate to Shipping Rules and find FedEx under the Default Settings for Each Processor section.
    ​

  • Click Configure under the Default Configure Settings page.

  • Under Default for Domestic Labels, locate Delivery Confirmation and select the appropriate option from the dropdown.

  • Click Save to apply the changes.

Once done, then try shipment again.

Note: Some services, like FedEx SmartPost, may not support signature options. Verify service compatibility before proceeding.


If the problem persists, contact Webgility Support for further assistance.
