Magento 2 DHL Express Shipping Extension with Rest API

Please Note: The Magento 2 DHL Express Shipping Extension for Adobe Commerce is independently developed by EcomPlugins. It is not created, endorsed, maintained, or supported by DHL Express or DHL Group.

The Magento 2 DHL Express REST API Shipping Extension for Adobe Commerce integrates your Magento store with DHL Express to retrieve live shipping rates, create shipping labels, and manage shipment tracking.

The extension calculates DHL shipping rates using the warehouse origin, customer destination, package weight, product dimensions, packaging configuration, selected services, and rates available for your DHL Express account. Available DHL services can be displayed on the shopping cart, checkout, and Magento Admin order creation pages.

It also provides advanced shipping controls including product dimensions, multiple packages, box quantities, separately packed products, oversized package handling, shipping rate markup, free shipping, account rates, shipping labels, tracking, and API request caching.

Why Choose the EcomPlugins DHL Express Extension?

Magento and Adobe Commerce may provide standard DHL functionality depending on the installed version and configuration. However, stores with advanced shipping requirements often need more control over packaging, dimensions, multiple boxes, rate adjustments, free shipping, and fulfillment.

The EcomPlugins extension provides additional product-level and store-level controls to help calculate DHL rates and manage more complex shipping requirements.

DHL shipping charges, discounts, surcharges, duties, taxes, and other carrier costs are determined by DHL and the merchant's account agreement.

DHL Express Shipping Labels & Tracking

Create eligible DHL Express shipping labels directly from Magento Admin. The extension submits applicable shipment, package, and destination information to DHL and associates returned shipment and tracking information with the Magento order.

• Create eligible DHL shipments from Magento Admin.
• Generate DHL Express shipping labels.
• Add tracking numbers to Magento shipments.
• Store tracking information with the order.
• Retrieve applicable shipment status through DHL tracking services.

Label and tracking availability depends on your DHL account, API permissions, selected service, origin, destination, and shipment information.

DHL Express REST API Integration

The extension connects to the DHL Express MyDHL API using credentials associated with your DHL Express account. A valid DHL Express account and approved API access may be required to use production rates, shipping labels, and tracking.

You can create or manage your DHL Express account and review the DHL Express MyDHL API documentation for API access information.

Magento 2 & Adobe Commerce Compatibility

The extension is developed for Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce. Compatibility can depend on your Magento version, PHP version, installed patches, checkout customizations, third-party shipping extensions, and other store modifications.

If your store uses a heavily customized checkout, Hyvä Checkout, headless storefront, marketplace extension, custom warehouse system, or another extension that replaces the standard DHL carrier, please contact us before purchasing.
