Deutsche Post & DHL Shipping Extension for Magento

As DHL Paket, we have trusted Netresearch as a long-standing premium development partner for Magento for over 10 years and are constantly working on updating, maintaining and improving our joint integration solution. Netresearch has also reliably provided professional technical DHL customer support with regard to Magento for many years.


DHL Parcel Partner Management

Project


In Germany, numerous retailers in the SME and key account sector rely on the Magento shop software platform from Adobe.

Netresearch has been working in partnership with Deutsche Post & DHL since 2010 to offer business customers simple, flexible and intuitive access to DHL's latest shipping products and services from the Magento shop system.

As a technical integration partner for the extensions, Netresearch also provides user support for customers on behalf of DHL.

Realisation


DHL Paket offers a constantly growing portfolio of shipping products, recipient and retailer services that are to be mapped in the complex support project of the extensions. The API landscape on the DHL side is regularly developed further and thus enables new and additional solution options.

Compatibility with current Magento versions and the associated requirements for the technology stack and other extensions used by the retailer must also be guaranteed.

The shipping solution for Magento 2 in the current generation follows a modern, strictly modular approach with several libraries. Extension was already released in this technical structure as version 1.0.0 in April 2020. Since then, Netresearch has regularly updated it in several versions. You can find more detailed information in our blog posts.
