Adding DHL eCommerce as a Shipping Provider
Extensiv Order Manager offers out-of-the-box integration with various shipping providers, e.g. FedEx, UPS, Endicia, etc. For general instructions on adding a shipping provider to Order Manager, see Adding Shipping Providers.
The DHL eCommerce Direct Integration is an entirely new integration as of April 2021 that is not attached to the previous, Endicia-managed DHL eCommerce integration. Once you connect DHL eCommerce as a shipping provider in Order Manager using the credentials supplied by DHL, you can rate and ship orders.
However, there are a few provider-specific details that deviate from the norm. See this article for those details.
