Once you have activated a Sendcloud subscription, you can connect your carrier contract.

In your Sendcloud panel navigate to Shipping > Carriers. Go to the My contracts tab and find DPD UK or DPD Local from the list. Click Add contract. Here you can add the credentials needed to validate the connection to DPD.

Step 3: Enter your DPD contract details
