For DHL, we offer the free DHL Adapter as well as, as its extension, the DHL Adapter for Pickware WMS. To be able to use the DHL Adapter for Pickware WMS, the free version must first be installed. Unlike the free version, the DHL Adapter for Pickware WMS gives you the option to automatically create shipping labels in the picking process with Pickware WMS.

The DHL Adapter supports shipping from Germany. To ship from other countries, you need DHL Express.

Note: To run the plugin, you need the PHP extension ext-soap. To install it, please contact your hosting provider.
