Great but missing basics

Fabian July 12, 2024

The Plugin does, what it says and is very strong with it. But I miss basic features like tracking informations, which I would expect from a shipper plugin. For example, if the shop would get feedback like the tracking site, we would be able to send emails / sms / push / push notifications like “your parcel is on its way” or “is ready to pick up” or, after delivery, “thanks again for ordering, here are your instructions”. I don’t understand why we still need to pay 3rd party companies to deliver this information, which are allready there. Poorly.

could be a great extension BUT…

The overall purpose of the DHL WP plugin is nice, but since I have less than 200 shipments per year, I am not qualified to apply for a “business customer” account. However, to select DHL as shipping provider, the Customer Number (EKP) is required, which is not available to private customers/ when having fewer than 200 shipments.

Works as expected

ThBunte March 28, 2023

The plugin does what it is supposed to do, no more and no less.When we had questions / problems, the support helped us quickly and competently.

Bad as F**

Nothing is working as expected. So much GUI-fails ….. Please use your another Plugin for connecting with DHL.Services.

Bulk Labels does not work properly

haislshop September 6, 2022 7 replies

I’ve been using the plugin happily for 4 years, but for about 3 months if I mark all orders in the overview and want to generate labels, only about 5-10% are created. when I go into the order, I can generate the label. But that is of course not the long-term solution, since it is a very large effort

Works great now, solution-focused support

The plugin works great now and support is solution-focused, thank you!
