Overview
This guide explains how to configure the DPD Ireland courier integration. The integration enables automated shipment creation and label generation through your DPD Ireland account.
Prerequisite - Obtaining Credentials
You must obtain API credentials from DPD Ireland for each sub-account you wish to integrate. Contact your DPD Ireland account manager or access your DPD Ireland portal to retrieve these credentials.
Understanding Required Credentials
You need the following credentials from DPD Ireland to configure the integration:
Username - Your DPD-assigned API username. Obtain from DPD Ireland portal or account manager.
Password - Your DPD-assigned API password. Obtain from DPD Ireland portal or account manager.
BasicAuthToken - Base64-encoded authentication token. Obtain from DPD Ireland portal or account manager.
CustomerAccount - Your DPD sub-account number. While not enforced as required during setup, this field must be populated for shipments to work. Each sub-account has a unique CustomerAccount number used to identify which DPD account to bill for shipments. Obtain from DPD Ireland portal by locating your account or sub-account number. Leaving this blank will cause shipment creation to fail.
TestMode - Switches between test and production environments. Test and production may require different credentials.
