Purpose: Learn how to connect your DPD carrier contract with your Sendcloud account in three easy steps.
Step 1: Check your DPD contract
Before you continue, it's important to take a look at your contract. DPD uses two kinds of contracts: a myDPDbusiness contract and a Depot Contract (Depot Vertrag). You can get a Depot Contract when you ship more than 1000 parcels a month. If you have a myDPDbusiness contract; please keep reading! If you have a Depot Contract, you can continue at Step 2.
DPD customers who have a myDPDbusiness contract don't receive a DelisID. This ID is required if you want to connect your DPD contract to Sendcloud. Please reach out to your Account Executive or to our Customer Support team, so they can assist you further.
Step 2: Activate your Sendcloud subscription
Sendcloud offers three subscriptions with which you are able to use your own transport contract: Lite, Growth and the Premium plan.
For more information regarding which plan is best for you and the needs of your business, you can always contact us via the support section of your Sendcloud account or click here.
Step 3: Enable your carrier contract
Once you have activated a Sendcloud subscription, you can connect your carrier contract.
In your Sendcloud panel navigate to Settings > Carriers & Pricing. Go to the My contracts tab and find DPD from the list. Click Add contract. Here you can add the credentials needed to validate the connection to DPD.
Step 4: Enter your DPD contract details
