Learn about DHL domestic and international shipping services available in Shopify

Questions in this section:

How do I verify which DHL API version PluginHive Multi-Carrier is using and check the region parameter in the rate requests?

To verify the DHL API version and region setting: 1. Request the XML format of the API request generated during rate checks from PluginHive support. 2. Inspect the XML request for the region parameter value. 3. Confirm whether the integration uses the older xml-pi API or the newer API version. 4. If using xml-pi, ensure the region is set to ‘EU’ for European shipments to avoid routing requests to the US DHL team. 5. Provide this XML request to DHL’s support team for validation. This helps clarify integration details and corrects issues with DHL not seeing your requests.

How do I update my DHL Express account from test credentials to production credentials in the PluginHive app?

To use the production DHL account for label generation in the PluginHive app, follow these steps: 1. Obtain your DHL Express production API Key and API Secret from DHL. 2. Open the PluginHive DHL app in your store admin or plugin dashboard. 3. Navigate to the DHL account settings section. 4. Replace the existing test API Key and API Secret with your production API credentials. 5. Save the updated account details. Once updated, the app will be ready to generate production shipping labels using your live DHL account. Verify the details are saved correctly and test by creating a label. If you encounter any issues, feel free to contact support for help.

How do I set up the app if I don’t have a DHL account?

To use the app with DHL Express, you need to have your own DHL account created directly with DHL. Once you have your DHL account credentials, you can add them into the app to enable DHL shipping services. The app supports integration with over 30 carriers including FedEx, Amazon Shipping, UPS, DHL Express, USPS, and more. Note that carrier accounts must be created with the carriers themselves, as the app does not provide carrier accounts.

How do I set a Service Point for an order to generate a shipping label with DHL Freight Sweden using PH Multicarrier Shipping Label?

To set a Service Point for an order using the PH Multicarrier Shipping Label app with DHL Freight Sweden: 1. Open the order details where you want to create the shipping label. 2. Look for a field or dropdown labeled “Service Point,” “Pickup Location,” or similar within the shipping configuration section. 3. Select the appropriate Service Point from the available options provided by DHL Freight Sweden. This selection directs the carrier where the shipment will be handled or dropped off. 4. Save or update the order details after selecting the Service Point. 5. Proceed to generate the shipping label. With the Service Point set, the label should be created without errors. This procedure ensures compliance with DHL Freight Sweden’s shipping requirements and allows label generation within the PluginHive app.

How do I remove shipping options or disable delivery to specific markets, such as removing PluginHive or DHL shipping options from Australia?

To remove or restrict shipping options or deactivate the app from specific markets: 1. Review your shipping zone and carrier settings within your Shopify admin and PluginHive app configuration. 2. Adjust your shipping zones to exclude Australia or disable DHL services within those zones if the app supports regional restrictions. 3. Contact PluginHive support if app-specific configuration is required to block the app or DHL rates from certain markets. 4. Alternatively, implement free shipping rules or overrides for certain regions (e.g., free Australia-wide shipping) that take precedence over carrier rates.

How do I proceed with connecting DHL Express in PluginHive and what do I need before onboarding?

To connect DHL Express in PluginHive, you need to obtain your DHL Express credentials (such as API keys and account information). Once you have these credentials: 1. Reach out to PluginHive support to initiate the onboarding process for DHL Express. 2. Support will assist you in properly configuring and integrating DHL Express within the app. 3. Ensure you provide accurate credentials to avoid setup issues. 4. Follow any additional configuration steps as guided by the support team to activate DHL Express shipping options in your store.

How do I proceed if I want to use DHL Freight Sweden with the PluginHive Multi Carrier Shipping Label App but do not yet have an account?

To use DHL Freight Sweden with the app, you must first contact DHL Freight Sweden directly to create a shipping account. The app requires valid carrier account credentials to integrate and generate shipping labels. After successfully setting up your DHL Freight Sweden account, you can enter the account details into the PluginHive app. Once connected, you can start creating and managing shipments via the app. PluginHive support can assist you during the onboarding process once your carrier account is set up.

How do I prevent PluginHive from stacking DHL shipping rates for each product in an order when shipping internationally?

To prevent the stacking of shipping rates for each product, adjust your packaging settings in PluginHive as follows: 1. Log in to your PluginHive app and navigate to **Settings > Shipping > Packaging**. 2. Locate the option **”Do you stack products in boxes”**. If this is enabled, it means the system treats each product as stacked individually, calculating shipping rates for each product separately. 3. Disable the **”Do you stack products in boxes”** option if your products are packed side-by-side or all together, so the shipping carrier calculates the rate once for the entire package rather than per product. 4. Save the settings and test your shipping rates again to ensure the system fetches a combined shipping rate instead of adding rates per product.

How do I obtain the DHL Site ID and Site Password to integrate DHL Express with the PluginHive app?

To connect your DHL Express account with the PluginHive app, you need the following credentials: DHL Account Number, API Key (Site ID), API Secret (Site Password), and your Origin country. The Site ID and Site Password can typically be found on the DHL Developer Portal under the API Key section at https://developer.dhl.com/. If you cannot locate these credentials there, please contact your DHL Account Representative or DHL Support team to request them for your account. Once you have these details, PluginHive can assist you with the app integration and setup.

How do I integrate my DHL Express or DHL Freight Sweden account with the PH MultiCarrier Shipping Label app to print international shipping labels?

To integrate your DHL account with the PH MultiCarrier Shipping Label app and enable international shipping labels, follow these steps: 1. Determine your DHL account type—DHL Express or DHL Freight Sweden. 2. For a DHL Express account, obtain the following from DHL support: – Account Number – Site ID – Site Password – Country of the account 3. For a DHL Freight Sweden account, gather the following details: – Account Number – Plus Giro Number (only if your account supports Cash on Delivery shipments) – DHL eID and Password (ensure Contract Rates are enabled) 4. Verify these credentials belong to your production (live) account, not a test account. 5. Input these details into the PH MultiCarrier Shipping Label app account integration section to connect your carrier account. This setup enables you to print shipping labels, including for international shipments, using the PluginHive app. If you face difficulties, consider scheduling an onboarding session via Zoom for step-by-step assistance.

To obtain the DHL Site ID, API Key, and Site Password: 1. Contact DHL Express customer support or your DHL account manager directly. 2. Request the **Production account credentials** specifically for your DHL Express account integration. These credentials are used to generate real shipping labels through DHL APIs. 3.

How do I generate DHL Paket shipping labels after the PluginHive app was updated with the new DHL Paket REST API integration?

After the PluginHive app was enhanced with the DHL Paket REST API integration, you can generate DHL Paket labels through the app normally. For any existing orders that failed to generate labels, follow these steps to reprocess and generate labels: 1. Select the existing order in the app. 2. Navigate to the **Advanced** option and change the order status to **Initial**. 3. Once the order is in the **Initial** status, select the order again. 4. Click **Prepare Shipment** to generate the label. New orders imported into the app should generate labels without any issues.

How do I find the Site ID and Site Password needed to set up DHL Express shipping in PluginHive when I already have a MyDHL+ account?

To obtain the Site ID and Site Password required for configuring DHL Express shipping in PluginHive, you need to contact the DHL support team directly. These credentials are not accessible through your MyDHL+ account dashboard. Reach out to DHL customer service or your DHL account manager and request the Site ID and Site Password for API or shipping integration purposes. Once provided, you can input these details into PluginHive to complete your DHL Express setup.

How do I enable the Paperless Trade (PLT) option in the PluginHive app for DHL shipments?

This will allow multiple DHL Express services to be displayed simultaneously at checkout, giving customers a variety of shipping options.

How do I display DHL Express shipping rates at checkout using PluginHive?

To display DHL Express shipping rates at checkout through PluginHive, ensure the following: 1. Add the PluginHive app in your Shopify Shipping Zones as a shipping rate provider (as explained in the general setup). 2. Confirm you have a valid DHL Express production account (API credentials) to enable live rates. PluginHive requires these credentials to fetch rates directly from DHL Express. 3. Enter your DHL Express production account details in the PluginHive app settings to connect it successfully. 4. Once connected, DHL Express shipping rates will be available and visible to customers during checkout. If you do not have a DHL Express production account, you will need to obtain it directly from DHL Express to enable live rates through PluginHive.

How do I create DHL labels for Sweden using the “DHL Service Point B2C” service in PluginHive?

Navigate to the specific Order in the PluginHive app. 2. Click on **Advanced** options for that order. 3. Select **Set Service Point for DHL Sweden**. 4. Choose the desired DHL Service Point from the list. 5. Submit the selection. 6. Once the Service Point is assigned, proceed to generate the shipping label.

How do I correct DHL shipping label fields to comply with their XML API requirements, especially product codes and paperless trade options?

To comply with DHL’s XML API requirements for label generation, follow these guidelines: 1. Use the correct DHL product codes approved for your account—avoid product code “8” if it’s not valid for your service type. For example, use “P” for Express Worldwide Non-Document shipments. DHL should provide you a list of eligible product codes for both domestic and export shipments. 2. For domestic shipments, you typically do not need a commercial invoice, so you can avoid generating one unless required. 3. For international shipments, enable Paperless Trade by including the following XML elements within the Express Worldwide shipment request: “` <Shipper> <SpecialService> <SpecialServiceType>WY</SpecialServiceType> </SpecialService> </Shipper> “` This alerts the system that a paperless invoice is being used. 4. Update the label generation request accordingly in the app settings or integration to reflect these changes. If uncertain, generate a test label with updated settings and validate the Request XML with DHL before mass production.

How do I confirm that my DHL Express account integration is fully connected and working properly in the PluginHive app?

After updating the app with your production credentials, the account will be connected to display shipping rates at checkout. You should perform a few test shipments or order transactions to verify rates appear correctly and labels can be generated. Once confirmed, your integration is fully functional. If any issues arise, contact PluginHive support for troubleshooting assistance.

How do I cancel a DHL Express shipping label generated through PluginHive, and what is the time limit?

Select the order with the generated label. 3. Click on “Advanced” options. 4. Choose “Cancel Shipments” to cancel the label. This cancels the DHL shipment and label if done within the allowed 24-hour window.

How do I cancel a DHL Express shipment created in test mode so I can reprocess it for a proper production label?

How do I authenticate and integrate my DHL Express account with the PluginHive app to get live shipping rates?

To authenticate and integrate your DHL Express account with the PluginHive app: 1. Obtain your DHL Production Account details from DHL, including Account Number, Site ID, and Site Password. Test account credentials only work for testing and do not show accurate rates or process live orders. 2. Add your DHL Production Account credentials to the PluginHive app’s DHL account section. 3. Ensure your Shopify store has the ‘Carrier Calculated Shipping’ (CCS) feature enabled, as DHL rates require this Shopify feature to display at checkout. You may need to upgrade your Shopify plan if you are on a legacy plan without CCS. 4. Once the production account is added and CCS is enabled, DHL live shipping rates will appear at checkout for your customers through the app.

How do I attempt label generation for DHL orders after fixing the “Phone Number” field error in PluginHive?

After correcting the Ship From Address phone number issue: 1. Ensure you replaced the invalid phone number (such as “.”) with a valid numeric string in the PluginHive app settings under Address. 2. Save all changes and exit the settings. 3. Attempt to generate the DHL label again for the affected order. 4.

PluginHive support can provide hands-on assistance as follows: 1. Schedule a Zoom or online meeting at a mutually convenient time. 2. During the session, they will help you connect your DHL Test account to PluginHive. 3. Walk you through the steps to create the three required sample labels (one domestic UK shipment and two international shipments). 4. Download and save the label documents and XML files generated by the system. 5. Compile these documents into a package you can submit to DHL to fulfill their production access requirements. This collaborative approach reduces your workload and increases the likelihood of a smooth production API approval process.

How can PluginHive customers verify the list of DHL product codes supported by the current XML PI integration?

Customers should use the XML PI Toolkit reference data provided by DHL to verify all global product codes supported in the XML PI integration. This toolkit contains the official list of DHL product codes available worldwide through the XML PI API. PluginHive customers can refer to this data to align their service selections with the currently supported DHL global products offered via PluginHive’s XML PI integration.

How can PluginHive and the DHL team collaborate effectively to resolve commercial invoice generation issues?

An effective collaboration requires: 1. PluginHive provides DHL’s technical team with XML request/response samples and identified invoice discrepancies. 2. DHL technical experts analyze the received data to verify why shipper information is missing from the generated commercial invoices. 3. Both parties discuss and implement necessary updates to DHL’s invoice generation or PluginHive’s data submission process as needed. 4. Continuous monitoring of corrected shipments and invoices to confirm the issue is resolved. 5. Clear, ongoing communication involving all stakeholders, including DHL onboarding members, technical teams, and PluginHive product managers, to track progress. This joint, data-driven approach ensures identification, correction, and validation of invoice formatting issues for mutual customers.

How can merchants give permission for PluginHive to generate test labels using their DHL Paket credentials?

Merchants can provide explicit written permission (via email or support ticket) authorizing PluginHive to use their DHL Paket account credentials to generate test shipping labels. The process includes: – PluginHive creates test shipments and labels using merchant credentials. – Test labels are immediately cancelled after creation to avoid any charges or shipments. – Feedback is shared on whether the test reproduced the reported issues. This permission helps diagnose integration issues without interrupting live shipments.

How can merchants confirm whether the latest PluginHive update regarding German street number alphabets and company name printing on DHL labels is live and functioning?

To confirm if the update is live and working: 1. Ensure you have the latest version of the PluginHive app installed. 2. Create new test orders in Shopify with addresses following German street addressing patterns including alphabets or special formats. 3. Generate DHL Paket shipping labels for those test orders via the PluginHive app. 4. Verify that the company name appears correctly on both shipper and recipient sections of the label. 5. Check that the street number including any letters is correctly printed on the shipping label without errors. 6. If needed, schedule a demonstration call with PluginHive using their booking link to review the integration live. 7.

Log in to your official DHL account on the DHL website. 2. Recreate the exact shipment using the same “Ship From” and “Ship To” addresses, package weight, and dimensions as near as possible to your checkout scenario in Shopify. 3. Compare the shipping rate returned on the DHL site with what the PluginHive app shows on your Shopify checkout. Any significant difference may indicate configuration issues or discrepancies with weight/dimensions used. 4. If differences persist, capture a complete screenshot of the DHL website rate details along with shipment data and share it for further investigation.

How can I verify if PluginHive is successfully retrieving shipping rates from TNT and DHL during checkout?

To verify successful rate retrieval: 1. Use the PluginHive app’s logs or dashboard to check recent API requests and responses from the carriers.

How can I verify discrepancies between commercial invoices generated via PluginHive’s DHL API integration and those generated directly through DHL’s website or app?

To identify and verify discrepancies between commercial invoices, complete the following steps: 1. For the same shipment/order, generate a commercial invoice and shipping label via DHL’s direct channels (website or DHL Express India app) using your DHL account. 2. Generate the same shipment/order’s commercial invoice and label via PluginHive’s DHL API integration. 3. Conduct a side-by-side comparison of both invoices focusing on shipper information and any other critical details. 4. Document all differences clearly, ideally in a structured format such as an Excel spreadsheet, highlighting missing or mismatched fields. 5. Share the comparison files along with the invoice samples from both sources with PluginHive support to assist their investigation and coordination with DHL’s technical team. This method helps pinpoint which step in the invoice generation or data submission process is causing discrepancies.

If you need changes made to an already created label, request support for cancellation and regeneration of the shipping label with the corrected details. 4. After adjustments, download the newly generated shipping label and its Request & Response XML files. Submit these to DHL for confirmation and further processing. PluginHive can assist by making these changes on your behalf once permission is granted.

To troubleshoot DHL Express shipping prices not displaying on your website via PluginHive, follow these steps: 1. Log into your DHL Express account directly on the DHL Express website. 2. Attempt to create the same shipping transaction (with the same origin, destination, package dimensions, weight, and services) within your DHL Express account. 3. Verify if shipping rates are successfully returned and displayed on the DHL site for that transaction. 4. If the rates do not show on DHL’s platform, the issue likely originates from DHL Express rather than PluginHive. 5. If rates appear on DHL but not on your website, collect the transaction details and contact PluginHive support with this information for further diagnosis. 6. Ensure that your DHL Express account credentials and API integration with PluginHive are correctly set up and active. This approach helps isolate whether the issue is on DHL’s side or PluginHive’s integration, enabling targeted troubleshooting.

How can I troubleshoot if DHL is not receiving rate or shipment requests from PluginHive Multi-Carrier?

If DHL does not receive your rate or shipment requests: 1. Confirm your DHL Express account is properly connected in PluginHive. 2. Determine if you are seeing DHL rates at checkout. 3. If rates show at checkout but DHL claims not to receive requests, check which DHL API version your integration uses. 4. If using DHL’s older xml-pi API, the region parameter must be set correctly: – For European shipments, this should be set to ‘EU’ instead of ‘US’. 5. Verify the region parameter in your API requests. 6. If unsure, request PluginHive support to provide a sample XML request generated during checkout to compare with DHL’s requirements. 7. Share this XML with DHL support to confirm all required fields are present and correct. Addressing the region setting issue typically resolves missing request delivery to DHL.

How can I troubleshoot if DHL Express calculated shipping rates are not showing on the Shopify checkout using the PluginHive app?

Upgrade if necessary. 3. Confirm that your plugin integration is active and configured properly, including DHL API credentials and shipping zone settings. 4. Provide valid shipping addresses corresponding to the relevant shipping zone to test rate calculation. 5. Ensure you have granted the PluginHive support team access to your Shopify store’s Shipping and Delivery section so they can audit your configuration if remote assistance is needed. 6. Check for any Shopify store settings that might restrict or conflict with third-party shipping rate apps. 7. If all settings are correct but rates still don’t appear, contact PluginHive support with your store details and testing address for further investigation.

Download the newly created shipping labels along with their Request & Response XML files. 4.

This testing step ensures smooth integration and avoids shipment disruptions.

How can I show the label for the ‘ShipStation’ courier service on the checkout page like it is shown for DHL using the PluginHive Multi Carrier Shipping Label App?

ShipStation is not a shipping carrier but a shipping solutions provider, similar to PluginHive, and it does not provide direct carrier services. Therefore, it cannot be integrated as a shipping carrier within the PluginHive Multi Carrier Shipping Label App or Shopify checkout the same way DHL can. To display shipping labels for carriers, you must integrate with actual shipping carriers supported by PluginHive. If you want to use ShipStation services, you would need to manage it separately through their platform. For shipping label generation and courier integrations within PluginHive, please use the supported carrier services directly.

Ensure you have an active account with DHL Express, as you need to connect your DHL account to the PluginHive app for rates and label generation. 3. Install the PluginHive Multi Carrier Shipping Label app, which includes a 14-day free trial to test its features and compatibility with your store. 4.

For each product that requires DG shipping, enable the **Dangerous Goods** option in the product settings. 3. The app will then include the DG shipping rates within the DHL Express shipping cost shown at checkout.

How can I set up shipping rules so that USA-bound orders up to $900 ship via Canada Post and orders over $900 ship via DHL?

Create or edit rules to specify conditions based on the order price. 3. Set a rule for orders up to $900 USD that assigns Canada Post as the shipping carrier. 4. Set a separate rule for orders over $900 USD that assigns DHL as the shipping carrier. 5. Ensure the destination country is set to the USA in both rules. 6. Save the configurations and test by creating sample orders with values below and above $900 to confirm that: – Orders up to $900 show Canada Post shipping options. – Orders over $900 show DHL shipping options. 7. If the shipping options reflect the rules accurately during testing, your setup is correct. This setup ensures the system automatically selects the correct carrier based on order value for USA-bound shipments.

How can I set up multiple DHL shipping carriers, specifically DHL Express and DHL eCommerce, in the PluginHive Multi Carrier Shipping Label app?

To set up multiple DHL carriers in the PluginHive app, follow these steps: 1. You can directly integrate **DHL Express** within the PluginHive app without any additional services.

Has there been any update from DHL regarding the issue with the DHL commercial invoice generated via PluginHive not being accepted by the local pickup team due to a different invoice template?

As of now, there has been no response or update from the DHL technical team despite multiple follow-ups. The issue centers on the local DHL pickup team not accepting the commercial invoice generated through PluginHive’s DHL API integration because this invoice differs in template from the one created by the native DHL Express India app. PluginHive is actively pursuing clarification by requesting DHL to explain the need for changes in the invoice template. Meanwhile, PluginHive is collecting sample orders from the customer to test label generation and to facilitate further investigation. Customers experiencing this issue should continue to cooperate with PluginHive by providing test orders and remain responsive to support requests.

For heavy or oversized products, how should volumetric weight and actual weight be managed to get accurate DHL shipping rates through the app?

To ensure accurate DHL shipping rates for heavy or oversized products: 1. Add both the weight (actual weight) and product dimensions (length, width, height) for each SKU in your Shopify product settings. The PluginHive app fetches this data from Shopify directly. 2. The app uses these inputs to calculate the volumetric weight when applicable, which is necessary for oversized items. 3. Make sure all product weights and dimensions are correctly entered in Shopify; the app will then import these details for rate calculations. 4. There is no need to enter volumetric weight separately; the app calculates this based on the product dimensions you provide.

For an order requiring multiple shipping labels (such as DHL shipments needing two labels), why do I see only one shipping label in PluginHive, and how can I obtain both?

PluginHive generates the additional shipping documents (such as the “Archived Doc” label) but does not show them directly in the main label print page. To access all documents for your order: 1. Open the order in PluginHive. 2. Locate the **Label Summary** section. 3. Click on the **Extra Documents** link to download additional labels or documents (e.g., the “Archived Doc”). This section contains any supplementary labels required by the carrier. Ensure you download these extra files to comply with carrier requirements.

Does the PluginHive MultiCarrier Shipping Label app support shipment insurance such as DHL Shipment Protection or FedEx Declared Value, and how can I ensure insurance charges are reflected in shipping rates at checkout?

Yes, the PluginHive MultiCarrier Shipping Label app supports insurance and signature options, but these settings affect label generation rather than the displayed shipping rates by default. To ensure insurance charges are included in the shipping rate calculation and shown at checkout, follow these steps: 1. Open the app and navigate to **App Settings** -> **Shipping Rates** -> **Rate Automation**. 2. Select **Edit DHL Express Rule** (or the relevant carrier rule). 3. Under **Action Details**, enable both **Signature** and **Insurance** options. 4. Save and update the rule. 5. After updating, perform a few test transactions at checkout to verify that the shipping rates now reflect the inclusion of insurance fees. Note that shipment insurance is applied during label generation, so the rates will align once these settings are enabled in rate automation rules.

Does the PluginHive Multi Carrier Shipping Label App support integration with my own FedEx and DHL accounts, including fulfillment from Taiwan?

Yes, the PluginHive Multi Carrier Shipping Label App supports integration with over 33 carriers, including FedEx and DHL.

Does the PluginHive app support split shipments and offer multiple shipping options from various carriers like FedEx, DHL, and local mail?

However, it does not allow splitting a single product into multiple boxes nor splitting the entire order itself into separate orders.

However, note that Shopify’s built-in ‘Carrier Calculated Shipping’ feature, which is required for live rates at checkout beyond the app, typically comes with the Shopify Plan and may require an additional fee unless you opt for an annual subscription. To set up and configure live DHL rates with the app, you can schedule assistance via the Pluginhive support booking link provided.

Does the PH Multicarrier app integrate with DHL Ecommerce?

Does DHL Express India support the WPX (Worldwide Priority Express) service via the MyDHL API, and how are these services represented in PluginHive’s DHL integration?

However, in the PluginHive DHL India Express Shopify app, the service might appear under simplified names like “DHL Express Worldwide” without explicitly showing the “WPX-Non Doc” suffix. If you want to display only “DHL Express Worldwide” at checkout, you can rename the service names within PluginHive by navigating to: – **App Settings -> Shipping Rates -> Rename Carrier Service** This allows you to customize how services appear to customers while still using the correct corresponding DHL product codes for shipments. Choose the product code that matches your shipment type (ecommerce non-documents usually align with the WPX non-doc code).

Do you recommend DHL for international shipments from Sweden, or are there other carrier suggestions?

No, the PluginHive app cannot automatically display calculated DHL shipping rates based on your negotiated DHL Paket account rates because DHL Paket does not provide calculated rates through its API.

Automatic regional price adjustments based on your DHL contract are not possible with the current integration.

Can the DHL Service Point assignment process be automated for orders going to Sweden?

Can the customer insert their own certified invoice on DHL shipments using the PluginHive app?

Yes, for NON-EU shipments, the DHL-generated customs document is automatically created and printed by default.

Generate the DHL shipping label through the PluginHive app. 2. After the label is generated, use the order processing interface to upload the certified invoice manually. If needed, assistance can be provided through a guided call to walk through the order processing and document upload steps after label generation.

Can PluginHive integrate my DHL account to my Shopify store and enable DHL shipping rates on checkout?

PluginHive allows you to connect your DHL Express account to fetch and show calculated DHL rates. Simultaneously, Shopify’s native shipping methods and rates will remain active for other shipping options. There is no restriction in the app that blocks or replaces rates from other sources. To set this up: 1. Install the PluginHive app on your Shopify store. 2. Connect your DHL Express account within the app to enable real-time DHL rate calculations. 3. Keep your existing Shopify shipping settings intact for other carriers. 4. Use the 14-day free trial period to test and confirm that both DHL rates from PluginHive and other shipping methods from Shopify appear correctly during checkout. 5. If needed, request assistance for app setup via a Zoom call with PluginHive support. This approach lets you selectively enhance your store’s shipping options without disrupting or replacing existing shipping configurations.

Can I use dynamic values for shipping slips in DHL shipments, or do I have to manually adjust values for each shipment?

In the PluginHive app, you can configure packaging settings to automatically assign specific packages to each order based on the products within that order. This setup allows you to use dynamic packaging rather than manually adjusting values for each shipment. To achieve this: 1. Access the packaging settings in the app. 2. Define different package types or boxes based on dimensions or product categories. 3. Assign rules so that each order automatically selects the appropriate packaging based on its content. This streamlines your shipping label generation and rate calculation without manual intervention per shipment.

Can I upload a company logo or signature on DHL Express India labels and commercial invoices via PluginHive’s DHL API integration?

Currently, the DHL Express India API integrated with PluginHive does not support uploading a company logo for shipping labels. Regarding the signature on commercial invoices, the invoice displays the shipper’s name in the signature section automatically.

If you can upload a signature file directly on the DHL Express portal (outside the PluginHive interface), you may share that invoice with PluginHive support for comparison and further verification with the DHL team.

Can I create and use a DHL Express account through the PluginHive app or obtain DHL Express rates from PluginHive?

Currently, PluginHive does not offer an option to create or enroll DHL Express accounts within the app. To use DHL Express for shipping, you must directly contact the DHL Express team to set up the account and negotiate rates.

Can I configure DHL Express shipping in PluginHive for Shopify using DHL’s new API keys instead of the deprecated XML services?

Currently, PluginHive’s DHL Express integration relies on the XML-based services that DHL has sunsetted. Since DHL has moved exclusively to their new API offerings, the existing PluginHive app configuration that requires XML credentials will not work with the new DHL API keys. As a result, you cannot use the new API keys directly to set up DHL Express shipping in PluginHive at this time. To complete the configuration, you will need to wait for PluginHive to update their app to support DHL’s API services, or consult with PluginHive support for interim solutions or alternative shipping methods.

Can I configure DHL Express shipping in PluginHive for Shopify using DHL’s new API Key and API Secret instead of the deprecated XML credentials?

No, currently PluginHive’s DHL Express integration only supports XML credentials. The new DHL Express API Key and API Secret cannot be used to configure DHL shipping within PluginHive at this time. You must use XML credentials to set up DHL Express shipping. PluginHive is working on updating the app to support DHL’s new API services, but until that update is released and certified, the new API credentials are not compatible.

Can I add both DHL and Canada Post as shipping carriers within a single shipping rule in PluginHive?

No, you cannot combine multiple carriers like DHL and Canada Post within a single shipping rule in PluginHive. To offer both carriers, you need to create separate rules for each one individually.

Both carriers will then appear as separate shipping options during checkout.

Can I add a DHL Globemail account to PluginHive to process orders from Sweden?

Can Deutsche Post shipments be processed via DHL setup in PluginHive, given that DHL owns Deutsche Post?

Deutsche Post shipments cannot be processed through the DHL carrier setup in PluginHive.

If you want to ship with Deutsche Post, it is advisable to consult your DHL sales representative for specific recommendations or alternative solutions.

Are the DHL shipping rates shown in the app inclusive of taxes?

Yes, DHL API returns rates inclusive of all surcharges and taxes. Therefore, the shipping prices displayed at checkout in the app include taxes, which explains why they may appear higher than the tax-exclusive rates seen directly on the DHL website.

Are DHL express surcharges included in the shipping price displayed to customers at checkout?

Yes, if your DHL account is configured with the shipping rates set as ‘with tax,’ the shipping costs shown to customers at checkout will include the surcharges. This means the price visible to customers already includes any additional fees passed by DHL, ensuring transparency and accuracy in the shipping cost presented. To verify or adjust this, check your DHL account settings within your shipping rules and confirm that the rates are set to include tax or surcharges.

After updating DHL shipment requests with correct details, how do I share the updated XML files with DHL for review?

Once you have updated your DHL shipment requests: 1. Use the PluginHive app to generate the new shipping label with the corrected product codes and special services. 2. Download the shipping label along with the full Request and Response XML files generated by the app. 3. Email these XML files directly to your DHL account representative or technical support team for their review and approval. 4. Include a summary explaining the changes made, such as product code adjustments and Paperless Trade inclusion. 5. Retain these files for your records and future troubleshooting. Sharing these files ensures DHL can validate and accept your shipping data before bulk shipments are processed.

After fixing the automation rule, the DHL rates at checkout show published rates, not my Account Rates, and the service names are not labeled as “DHL Express.” How do I correct this?

To ensure the correct Account Rates and appropriate DHL service labels show at checkout, follow these guidelines: 1. To display your negotiated DHL Account Rates: – Go to **App > Settings > Carriers > DHL Express > Other Details**. – Enable the **Account Rates** option. This will switch the rates shown from published to your account-specific rates. 2. To rename the DHL services displayed at checkout to your preferred labels (e.g., changing “Express Worldwide – WPX Non Doc” to “DHL Express”): – Navigate to **App > Settings > Shipping Rates > Rename Carrier Service**. – Select **Carrier: DHL Express**. – Rename the desired service accordingly. – Note that original service names are provided by DHL’s API and cannot be changed directly, but this feature displays your chosen name at checkout. 3. To troubleshoot discrepancies with Account Rates, replicate a sample shipment directly on DHL Express’s platform using the same shipment details (origin, destination, weight, dimensions) to compare rates. By completing these steps, your customers should see both the correct Account Rates and your preferred service labels at checkout.

After enabling Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) in Shopify, what are the next steps to finalize the DHL integration in the multicarrier shipping plugin?
