Let's see how you can connect Deutsche Post to ShippyPro in just few steps. ๐
To connect Deutsche Post to ShippyPro you'd need to take into account two categories:
- "Combinable" services (WarenPost services)
- Defined services (all the others)
The components to consider for WarenPost services definition are:
- Parcel dimensions (XS, S, M, L);
๐ Note: is crucial to select the correct dimensions of each parcel while creating the shipment in order to avoid that the service offered doesn't match the actual dimensions of the parcel shipped.
- Parcel destination (UE or not);
- Type of service selected inside the connection menu between Warenpost Tracked (0), Warenpost Untracked (1) e Warenpost Signature (2);
- Whether the customer enable Kilotariff option and parcels dimensions match item's dimensions so to overwrite other services.
eg. XS00 dimensions XS, not EU, Warenpost Tracked (0)
