Common questions
Do I need MyDHL API access?
Yes. Ask DHL Express for MyDHL API access. They give you an API key and secret to use with your DHL Express account number. Our team can help with the request if you have not done it before.
Do I need my own DHL Express account?
Yes. You open a business account with DHL Express and enter its credentials in Shipi (MyDHL API key and secret and DHL Express account number). You keep your negotiated rates and pay Shipi only for the software. If you get stuck on the credential step, our team will set it up with you.
Can I use DHL Express alongside other carriers?
Yes. Add as many carriers as you need to one Shipi account and choose per order, or set shipping rules that decide which options appear at checkout.
Which store platforms does this work with?
