1. DPD Shipper Webservice
  2. => Shipment service

=> Shipment service

 

The shipment service must be called to generate the parcel labels. A request to the shipment service will only succeed after a call to the login service to get a unique token to access the shipment service. The token will be valid 24 hours. Please store it for that time.

For other types of shipments that aren't standard, like to the UK after Brexit, please go to https://doc.dpd.be/SWS/Brexit

For other services and products, choose the corresponding topic in the navigation to the right.

 

 

Connection URLs

Important !

  • Labels generated on the STAGE environment are not valid and may not be used for live shipments !
  • Also take note that once a live label is created, it needs to be used and the corresponding parcel needs to be given to DPD within the next 48 hours !
