API integration · DPD
Your orders sent to DPD automatically. The shipment is created, the label prints, the tracking number goes back on the order and the customer gets their despatch email, without anyone logging into DPD. Quoted up front, and you own the code.

DPD's API creates shipments, generates labels, returns tracking data and handles returns labels. Connected to your shop or platform, despatch runs itself: the order comes in, the shipment and label are created, and the tracking details go back to the order and the customer. DPD's delivery-hour tracking can feed your own customer updates too. See the DPD API integration guide.
DPD plugins for WooCommerce cover a basic setup. They usually offer one default service, produce PDFs only and handle one carrier. A custom build follows your own rules, prints straight to a thermal printer, can route between carriers, and doesn't break when a plugin update goes wrong.
Not included: your DPD business account and API access, DPD's per-parcel rates, collection booking (quoted separately if you need it) and printer hardware.
Payment is 50% to start and the balance on completion. For what drives the price, read what a DPD integration costs.
Send a short written spec by WhatsApp, text, email or the form: your platform, how you despatch now and roughly how many parcels a day. I'll reply within 24 hours with a quote.
DPD doesn't have a self-serve developer portal. You ask your DPD account manager for API access on your business account. It can take anything from a few days to a couple of weeks, so ask early.
Most shops have a standing daily DPD collection, so the API only needs to create shipments. If you don't, on-demand collection booking can be added and quoted separately.
Yes, that's the most common build. Orders trigger the shipment, the label prints, and the tracking number and despatch email go out automatically. See the DPD and WooCommerce guide.
Yes. The service is picked from the delivery option the customer chose, the time of the order and any other rules you set, so nobody chooses it by hand at despatch.
No. You agree per-parcel rates with DPD directly. The build price covers the integration only.
Standard takes 3–5 days, platform integration about a week and multi-carrier about two weeks, starting once your DPD credentials are through and the deposit is paid.
