DPD Shipping Label

Explore the integration of DPD Shipping Label with Advanced Shipment Tracking (AST) PRO for WooCommerce. This plugin simplifies the process of generating custom DPD labels directly within your WooCommerce store.

Overview of DPD Shipping Label Integration

Allows shipping labels to be generated, while tracking details must be added manually to the shipment tracking system.

The Problem Addressed

When using the DPD Shipping Label plugin to create a shipping label:

• Custom Fields Update: The Tracking Number is displayed in the custom fields section of the order.
• Order Status Update: Order status is updated to completed.
• Manual Tracking Entry: The plugin does not automatically update the Shipment Tracking Order Metadata, requiring manual copying and pasting of tracking numbers and shipping provider names into the Shipment tracking panel.

DPD Shipping Label Tracking Integration Solution

The DPD Shipping Label Tracking Integration with AST PRO addresses these challenges by:

• Automating Tracking Retrieval: Automatically extracting tracking information from the order meta and updating it in AST’s shipment tracking order meta.
• Enhancing Fulfillment Workflow: Streamlining the order fulfillment process by reducing repetitive work and potential for errors.

Enabling DPD Shipping Label Tracking Integration

To activate the DPD Shipping Label integration:

1. Navigate: In your WordPress admin, go to WooCommerce > Shipment Tracking > Integrations.
2. Locate and Enable: Search for the DPD Shipping Label integration and enable it.
3. AutoComplete Option: Choose to enable the ‘AutoComplete shipped orders’ option. With this, AST will automatically update the order status to ‘Shipped’. For manual control, keep this option disabled.

Post-Integration Workflow

Once enabled, every time you generate a shipping label in DPD Shipping Label for a WooCommerce-originated order, the shipment tracking details will be automatically updated in AST’s shipment tracking order meta.

Best Practices and Notes

• Integration Checks: Routinely ensure the integration’s functionality, particularly after plugin updates.
• Customer Awareness: Clearly communicate the availability of tracking features and encourage customers to use them for improved service satisfaction.

By following this guide and enabling the DPD Shipping Label integration with AST PRO, you can significantly enhance your order fulfillment process, ensuring that tracking information is accurately and efficiently applied and communicated.
