Overview
- DPD UK’s integration with Starshipit allows you to use all of Starshipit's features including generation of packing slips and shipping labels, auto-correction of addresses, branded tracking and notifications and many more.
- This article outlines how to set up DPD UK as a courier service in Starshipit.
Before you begin
Before you can start setting up DPD UK in Starshipit, you will need your DPD UK credentials:
- Account Number
- Username
- Password
These are the credentials used to log in to the DPD UK portal.
Your account number can be found in MyDPD > My Account Details, after logging into the portal.
Setting up your DPD UK in Starshipit
1. Enter your account details in StarshipIt
- In Starshipit, navigate to Settings > Couriers > Add a new courier > DPD UK.
- Tick Enable UPS.
- Enter your DPD UK details.
- Click Save.
Click Test to ensure it works, to see if your credentials are working correctly.
2. Set up parcel collection date/time
You can set up a collection of packages to be a certain number of minutes from the time of printing of an order's label.
Or, you can set it to a regular daily time that you have booked with DPD UK. If you do this, the date can be set in the future for the next date to be used, or if it is today or was previously set and that date is now in the past, then today's date will always be used.
You can also override this setting on any individual order and the new value will be saved as the new overall setting.
Note
You cannot set the collection date to be in the past when modifying though, and you also cannot set it to a date more than 7 days into the future.
3. Set up advanced settings
Note
- EORI Number and Shipper Destination Tax Id are only applicable for international shipments.
- DPD UK does not pass rates into StarshipIt, so these will not be shown on the New Order page.
- You can, however, set up 'table rates' for DPD UK, where you would record the rates that the courier charges you, and these can be passed back when calling the StarshipIt API (although they will still not show in the New Order page).
4. Set up your product codes
Add your product codes to complete the integration. You can get a list of valid product codes for a destination address by using the product code finder tool in the tools tab. Known product codes are:
