FedEx supports domestic and international shipping rates for USA and Canada. Other countries using FedEx can only ship overseas.
ShopFactory allows you to combine multiple shipping providers. As an example, you can use USPS for domestic shipping and then FedEx for international shipping. This will allow merchants to take advantage of lower shipping rates both international and domestic locations.
Merchants must already have a FedEx account - with Login ID as your Account Number.
