Note that the FedEx plugin will convert all your products weight and dimensions to lb/in and then send it to the FedEx platform, so you can use the weight/dimension unit that you want for your products. Also if you really want your FedEx shipping plugin to send your products weight/dimensions to the FedEx platform in kg/cm then you'll also have to edit these lines which define the maximum weight/dimension that a package must have in lb/in : Code: $limit = array( 'y' => 119, 'w' => 150, 'length_girth' => 165 ); if(!empty($rate->shipping_params->methods)) { foreach($rate->shipping_params->methods as $k => $service_name) { $l_lenght = 0; $l_weight = 0; $l_dimension = 0; if($service_name == 'FEDEX_GROUND') $limit['y'] = 108; if($service_name == 'GROUND_HOME_DELIVERY') $limit['w'] = 70; if(in_array($service_name,$international_limit)) $limit['length_girth'] = 130; } } Last edit: 9 years 7 months ago by [Mohamed Thelji](/forum/user/6861-mohamed-thelji "View Mohamed Thelji's Profile").
