Shipment service (all products)

How to create any operational order with the webservice

  1. Shipment service

    The shipment service is used to generate 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 services and products, choose the corresponding topic in the navigation to the right.

    When a ShipmentService request is successful, the system will respond with a Base64 string on the <parcellabelsPDF> segment that can be decoded into a PDF with a label as well as the corresponding 14 digit parcel number in the <parcelLabelNumber> segment, which you capture.

    Important:

    • Labels generated on the STAGE environment are not valid and may not be used for live shipments

  3. DPD Home (B2C) Shipment

    For DPD B2C Predict, you have to add the <predict> segment in the <productandservicedata> section. Please note this section is for B2C shipments. These are similar but definitely not the same as B2B shipments mentioned in point 2 of this page.

    <predict> has a few child segments that must be included:

    • <channel>: the type of Predict you wish to send. Using value 1 will send an email, value 3 an SMS.
    • <value>: the email address or portable phone number the message must be sent to. Obviously, use a valid email address if the channel is 1 and a valid phone number if the channel is 3.
      Note: phone number must be in format +<countrycode>#<rest of the number> so if the number is for example 0032479123456, use value +32#479123456
    • <language>: The language in which the Predict message should be sent in ISO639-1 format: FR, NL, EN, etc. Keep in mind that while BE is a correct country code, BE as a language doesn’t exist. It should be one of the country languages or EN.

    Attention:

    • Use the exact same e-mail address/phone number for DPD Home shipment in the recipient segment as in the predict segment.
    • Channel 1 is only for email and channel 3 only for SMS. No Predict will be sent if you try to use an email address with channel 3 or a phone number with channel 1.

    For Predict shipments, depending on the type of message you want to send (which is precised in the <channel> segment), you will have to include the email or phone number in either <phone> or <email> field under the <receiver> segment.

  4. DPD Business Predict (B2B) Shipment

    DPD B2B Predict shipment, is identical to B2C Predict (as described in point 3 of this page) with one important key difference: the <product> field in <generalShipmentData> must contain the value B2B MSG option (please note this is case sensitive)

    It’s also important to note that this service is not active by default for customers. This service will only be made available after approval from your Sales representative.

    Please make sure you do not confuse B2B Predict with B2C Predict. They are very similar in code, but very different in how the shipments are physically delivered.

  5. DPD Shop (B2C) Shipment

    This looks almost identical to a regular DPD Business shipment. In order to turn it into a shipment via parcelshop, you have to add the <parcelShopDelivery> segment in the <productAndServiceData> section. This one has a couple of child segments too:

     

    • <parcelShopId>: this is the ID of the Parcelshop you want DPD to drop the shipment at. This ID is acquired thought the Parcelshopfinder service (see separate section for this). In the Parcelshopfinder service, you will receive a response containing <parcelShopId>. It’s this value you use for this field.
    • <parcelShopNotification>: this contain the details of the Predict message that will be sent to the receiver to let him know his parcel arrived in the shop. Please note that you use <parcelShopNotification> here as opposed to <predict> for a B2C Predict shipment without Parcelshop.
      Parcelshopnotification has a few child segments of it’s own, which are similar to those of <predict>:

      • <channel>: the type of Predict you wish to send. Using value 1 will send an email, value 3 an SMS.
      • <value>: the email address or portable phone number the message must be sent to. Obviously, use a valid email address if the channel is 1 and a valid phone number if the channel is 3.
        Note: phone number must be in format +<countrycode>#<rest of the number> so if the number is for example 0032479123456, use value +32@479123456
      • <language>: The language in which the Predict message should be sent in ISO2 format: FR, NL, EN, etc. Keep in mind that while BE is a correct country code, BE as a language doesn’t exist. It should be one of the country languages or EN.

    Attention:

    • Use the exact same e-mail address/phone number for DPD Shop shipment in the recipient segment as in the parcelShopNotification segment.
    • A maximum of 10 ParcelshopID’s per call can be obtained
    • Channel 1 is only for email and channel 3 only for SMS. No Predict will be sent if you try to use an email address with channel 3 or a phone number with channel 1.

     

    ! Attention ! Do not store the ParcelshopID’s you obtain from a parcelshopFinderService call for any other purpose than consulting previous shipments data. Parcelshops will announce closing or holidays and your shipment calls will be rejected when they contain a – for that time – invalid ParcelshopID.

    You will also have to make sure you fill in the <phone> field in the <recipient> segment since for several countries, Parcelshop Shipments require that field to be used.

  7. International non-EU Shipments

    • For other shipments outside the EU that aren’t the UK, please stay on this page.
    • For UK Brexit Shipments, go to the dedicated point 12.

    More details about each field will be added later, but for now, please base yourself on the example below.

    Each shipment outside the EU, which includes countries like Switzerland, Norway and Iceland, must have an <international> section under the <parcels> section. Please note that you will need a separate  <commercialInvoiceLine>  for each different kind of item you’re shipping. An object that has it’s own HS code, constitutes a separate item.
    These segments will be described in the raster below (please scroll lower)

     

  8. Shop Return Shipment

    A Return shipment is almost identical to a regular DPD Business. You have to add a <return> segment to the <parcels> section and set the value to true.

    You don’t have to reverse the roles of the Sender and the Receiver. The system does that for you:

    The <sender> segment should still contain your details, even though you will become the receiving party on a return shipment. Likewise, the <receiver> segment should contain the details of your customer despite him becoming the sending party with a return shipment.

    Once you generate the label, you will notice that the Sender (you) has become the receiver and the receiver (the one who will return the label) will become the sender. The system did this by itself and is entirely normal.

  12. Shipments to United Kingdom after Brexit

    Request parameters

    Shipments to post-Brexit United Kingdom must have an <international> section under the <parcels> section. Please note that you will need a separate  <commercialInvoiceLine>  for each different kind of item you’re shipping. An object that has it’s own HS code, constitutes a separate item.
    These segments will be described in the raster below.

    It’s not possible to send multi-colli shipments to the UK. You can only send single-parcel shipments. Your parcel can however contain multiple items.

    It’s also only possible to send DPD Business and DPD Home shipments (regular B2B and regular B2C). Saturday, Collection Request, Express, Parcelshop, etc are not possible.

    Other changes

    • Sender phone (<phone> field under <sender>) is mandatory.
      Note: phone number must be format +<country code><rest of the number> in all fields. For example: +3215124578 or +442012345678.
    • Sender email (<email> field under <sender>) is mandatory.
      Note: the email must be on an existing domain.
    • Receiver phone (<phone> field under <recipient>) is mandatory and in correct format.
    • Receiver email (<email> field under <recipient>) is mandatory and on an existing domain.
    • Sender and Receiver house number must be in their separate fields <houseNo>. This has to be the case for the <sender>, <recipient>, <commercialInvoiceConsignee> and <commercialInvoiceConsignor> segments.
    • The value in the <weight> field in the <parcels> segment needs to be the total of all <grossweight> values in the <commercialInvoiceLine> segment.

    Notes about EORI, HMRC and VAT number

    • The Sender VAT and EORI number are always mandatory and must be included in two segments: the <sender> segment and the <commercialInvoiceConsignor> segment.
    • The Receiver VAT and EORI number must be given in the <receiver> segment, the <commercialInvoiceConsignee> segment and in the <commercialInvoiceConsigneeVatNumber> field. However, these values can vary depending whether or not your shipment is B2B or B2C:
      – For B2B Shipments: these fields must contain the Receiver EORI and VAT number.
      – For B2C Shipments: these fields must contain the Sender EORI and VAT number, since B2C receivers don’t have a VAT or EORI.
    • The HMRC number of the Sender must be included in the <comment2> field of the <international> segment.
      AND
      The HMRC number of the Sender must be included in the <destinationCountryRegistration> field of the <sender> segment.

    <sender> segment

    Is identical as for any other shipments, taking into consideration the mandatory fields mentioned above. In case of shipment creation where HMRC number entry applies, be sure to add HMRC number here as well as in the ‘comment2’ section of the international segment.
    This especially important if you are shipping on behalf of a third party

  13. Pickup Orders

    To enter a Pickup Request via API, follow the call structure below.

    This is a separate call from your Shipment calls to assure a driver will come to one of your official pickup addresses to collect the parcels you have prepared for a shipment in case you do not have a daily pickup agreed upon.

    Please note this is not the same as a Collection Request as described in point 14.
    Collection Requests are a way to ask DPD to go pick up a parcel somewhere and bring it to you or a third party. A Pickup Request, as described here, is simply asking DPD to come send a driver over to you so they can pick up the parcels you prepared.

    Sample call:

  14. Collection Request Orders

    To enter a Collection Request via API, follow the call structure below.

    Please note this is not the same as a Pickup Request as described in point 13.
    Collection Requests, as described here, are a way to ask DPD to go pick up a parcel somewhere and bring it to you or a third party. A Pickup Request on the other hand, is simply asking DPD to come send a driver over to you so they can pick up the parcels you prepared.

    Three addresses are identified with Collection Requests, be sure they are entered in the right namespaces

    • Sender: This is your data, our customer, who orders the parcel collection to take place at point A and be delivered to point B. This address is not the place where the parcel will be picked up nor delivered. The fields are mandatory but the data in these namespaces can be masked would you like to do so.
    • Receiver: This is the location where the parcel will be delivered.
    • Collection Request Address: This is the location where the driver will present himself to pick up the parcel. The driver will bring the label himself and attach it to the parcel at pickup.

  15. Small Parcel

    Any type of service code has a “small” variant. You can have a Small B2B shipment, Small B2C shipment, Small Parcelshop shipments, etc.

    There is no specific code or call to make you shipment be considered as small: the system will automatically turn your parcel into the small variant based on the weight of the parcel: if the value in the <weight> field within the <parcel> instance is lower than 3 kg, the system will turn your shipment in a small parcel shipment by itself.

  16. Older documentation and other API's

    Download the full original  Web Service Reference Documentation (PDF)

    The DPD Belux Shipper API strongly resembles the DPD NL and DPD CH versions, but is still different and has other endpoints. Originally Shipper API was built in the image of the DPD DE API. Some references in the downloadable documentation above still relate to it, but can be ignored. This documentation contains more examples, but is no longer updated
