DHL Express Comprehensive Shipping XML per Magento® 2.x

The extension is installed with Composer. Which repository you add depends on where you bought it — the install itself is the same either way.

1. Connect the repository

Bought on extmag.com. Your account page shows the repository address and your personal credentials, together with the two composer config commands to paste. Run them once per project; every extension you own is then available from the same repository.

Bought on the Adobe Commerce Marketplace. The package is served from repo.magento.com, which most stores already have configured. If not, add the access keys from your Adobe account under My Profile -> Access Keys.

2. Install the extension

Run in the project root:

composer require extmag/dhlshipping2
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento cache:flush

Composer resolves the shared Extmag packages the extension depends on, so there is nothing else to require by hand.

Log out and log back into the admin, and the extension is ready.

Label printing

To print labels on a local or network printer, install our printing software from here, then follow Installing and configuring el-Print.

Hyva Theme and Hyva Checkout

Storefronts on Hyva need one more package:

composer require extmag/shiplab-hyva
composer require magewirephp/magewire

The integration replaces one Hyva template, view/frontend/templates/checkout/shipping/method-list.phtml. If your theme already overrides that file, merge the changes rather than replacing it.

Trying it before you buy

You can ask for a 30-day demo of this extension and install it exactly as above — same package, same repository, same commands. How demos work.

Installing without Composer

The archive can be unpacked into app/code/Extmag/ instead, but that leaves the extension outside dependency management: its shared packages have to be installed by hand and updates never reach it. Use Composer for any store you run, demo included.

For any question about the installation, please contact our technical support.

DHL Express is set up from the Extmag menu in the Adobe Commerce (Magento) admin. Add the carrier account, the addresses you ship from, the boxes you pack into and the shipping methods customers see, then tune the carrier configuration.

DHL Express Account

1. If you do not have DHL Express credentials yet, get them from DHL Express. You will need a Site ID, password and account number from DHL.
2. Go to Admin Main Menu -> Extmag -> Settings -> Shipper Accounts.
   
3. Click the “Add New Shipper Account” button.
4. Enter your credentials and click “Save”. Leave Live Account set to No while you test against the carrier sandbox.

Addresses

1. Go to Admin Main Menu -> Extmag -> Settings -> Addresses.
   
2. Click the “Add New Address” button.
3. Fill in the company name, contact, phone and full address, then click “Save”. Add one address per location you ship from — they are selected separately as the billing address and the ship-from address.

Package Boxes

1. Go to Admin Main Menu -> Extmag -> Settings -> Package Boxes.
2. Click the “Add New Box” button.
3. Enter the inner and outer dimensions, the empty weight and the maximum load, then click “Save”. The packer uses these boxes to work out how an order is split across packages, so the more of your real boxes are listed the closer the quoted rate is to what you are charged.

Shipping Methods

1. Go to Admin Main Menu -> Extmag -> Shipping Methods.
2. Click the “Add New Shipping Method” button.
3. Choose DHL Express as the carrier, decide which of its services to show — all of them, a specific list, or only the cheapest or the most expensive — and restrict the method by website and customer group if you need to. Click “Save”.

Configuration

1. Go to Admin Main Menu -> Extmag -> Settings -> DHL Express Configuration.
   
2. Open the General tab first and select the shipper account, the billing address and the ship-from address you created above.
3. Work through the remaining tabs, filling in what applies to your account.

The tabs cover:

• General — account, addresses, destination type, the default shipping method and shipping instructions.
• Packaging — packaging type, dimensions and how an order is split across packages.
• Returns — return labels and RMA handling.
• References — the reference numbers printed on the label and their bar codes.
• Payments — who is billed for the shipment and duties, and the payer account details.
• Notification — the events the carrier notifies about and the recipients.
• Printing — document formats and the printer used for each document type.
• Pickups — whether pickups are booked automatically after a label is created or scheduled manually.
• Tracking — how often parcels are polled and how statuses are written back to the order.
• International Invoice — the paperless commercial invoice, its signature image and customs content.
• Automatic — when labels are created without an operator.
• Mass Actions — creating labels in bulk from the order grid.
• Manual Actions — creating a single label from an order.
• Other Options — logging and the remaining carrier-level switches.

Every setting can be applied per website and per destination country, so a rule that only makes sense for one market does not have to affect the rest.

The full field-by-field reference, including the exact configuration paths, is in the Reference Manual supplied with the extension.
