Connect DHL

DHL wants a complete address per shipment, a parcel size and a service option, delivery to the door, to a DHL ServicePoint or with a signature. For shipments abroad customs fields are added. Today you retype those details from Bol.com or your webshop into My DHL Parcel. Schakel registers every order automatically, pulls the label and puts the track-and-trace number back to the source.

What travels with DHL

  • Orders into DHL

    Every Bol.com or webshop order is registered as a shipment, with a complete address, weight, country and order number.

  • Shipping labels

    DHL creates the label as soon as the shipment is registered, with the service option you chose, ready to print.

  • Track-and-trace back

    The track-and-trace number goes back automatically to Bol.com or your webshop, so the customer can follow the shipment.

  • Shipping status

    The moment you ship, the status travels back, so the order reads as shipped on both sides.

Why connect DHL

  • No more retyping addresses in My DHL Parcel.
  • Track-and-trace is back in Bol.com and your webshop on its own.
  • Delivery to the door or to a DHL ServicePoint runs through the same connection.
  • When it gets busy the shipping work no longer slips.

    Orders arrive ship-ready

    Every new order is registered as a shipment with DHL with a complete address and the service option for the door or a ServicePoint.

  3. 03

    Tracking goes back on its own

    As soon as the label is created the track-and-trace number goes back to the channel the order came from.

DHL, common questions

Can I ship my Bol.com orders through DHL?

Yes. Request the connector and get access; your Bol.com orders are then registered with DHL automatically and the track-and-trace goes back to Bol.com.

Can I have delivery to a DHL ServicePoint?

Yes. Which service option DHL uses, the door or a ServicePoint, you set yourself; Schakel only hands the shipment over complete.

What do I need to start?

A DHL business account with API credentials from My DHL Parcel and the sales channel you want to connect. Request the connector and get access.
