DHL Overview

With Aptean Ship’s DHL module, you can process International and Domestic Express shipments in real-time via the Internet.

Account Setup

Before you ship with DHL, please visit Onboarding the new customers and select Register here.

Then, complete the XML Services registration by filling out the form.

Once the XML Services registration has been completed,

• This action will trigger an automated email to the US team for approval, and credentials will be automatically sent upon approval to grant production access.
• Please be aware that it may take 4-5 hours for the credentials to be refreshed in the production environment and become usable.

This will initiate the process of creating a Site ID and Password on the DHL Servers. DHL will then send you the credentials, which you will enter during Aptean Ship setup (see Account Setup).
