FedEx Express Reference map: Reference	Choose from any SellerCloud order field to display on the label as the FedEx reference field. See the image below.
FedEx Ground Reference map	Map the following three FedEx reference fields that print on the FedEx label to 3 SellerCloud order fields. ShipBridge allows you to enter almost any reference type in all the fields. Choose from the drop-down or enter manually. Note: A packing slip or invoice should be printed with the shipping label to indicate what must be packed in the order. The reference boxes are good indicators, but they are small and too restrictive and can’t completely replace a packing list.
