E-commerce Data Integrations
Explore our wide range of integration options and partner providers
DHL’s services are supported in most eCommerce and logistics platforms on the market. Whether you wish to add us to your TA-system, eCommerce platform, checkout or tailor your solution with APIs – we will guide you.
Types of Data Integrations
Software mentioned on this page fully supports DHL’s services but is not developed by or affiliated to DHL (unless noted). Hence, it is not possible for us to supply support directly. That said, you are always welcome to reach out to us and we’ll try our best to help you.
E-commerce Platforms
Modern platforms offer plugins that enhance both your and your customers' experience. They offer a great amount of customization both natively and by plugins. Shipping plugins can work standalone, integrate with your existing TA-system and/or checkouts.
Plugin Providers for Platforms Include:
Woo Commerce: Krokedil, Redlight Media, Shipmondo, nShift, Ingrid
Shopify: Shipmondo, QTE/DHL, nShift, Ingrid
Magento/Adobe Commerce: Shipmondo, nShift, Ingrid
TA (Transport Administration) Systems
TA (Transport Administration) systems are comprehensive software that integrates with other systems like finance, warehouse, and ERP. TA systems are typically deployed when your business has reached a crucial mass and the need for further automation arises. DHL is supported by most suppliers. Even if you do not have your system listed below, you can probably already use our services today.
Partner TA Systems Include:
nShift
Ingrid
Shipmondo
And more
Checkouts
The payment and delivery checkout is arguably the most important feature of your eCommerce solution. Ecommerce platforms offer this natively but you can also integrate a dedicated provider. The delivery part of the checkout lets the customer choose both service and vendor. The technical solution to this is usually a combination of eCommerce plugins and TA systems.
We’ve listed a few of the most common checkouts that support DHL. If you can’t find your provider, please email and we’ll get you sorted!
Common Checkout Partners:
Walley
Klarna
Qliro

Systems Overview
It can be really hard to grasp how all tech integrates and interacts with each other. Hence, we have made illustrations that, in a simplified manner, describe the three most common scenarios. We hope this will help you on your way towards automation.
