Stop guessing what DHL will charge.

The problem

Flat international rates

With WP EasyCart

Your DHL rate, live at checkout

What it does

What OptimalShip does for your store.

DHL Express at checkout

A DHL choice next to your other live rates, priced by your Optimal Logistics account for each cart and destination.

Delivery days shown

OptimalShip’s transit days show beside the price when your store shows delivery days for live rates.

Quoted from your boxes

The cart is packed into the boxes on Settings › Shipping and each box is quoted as its own piece. Sizes and weights convert to the units DHL prices in.

Your pricing

Add a flat or percent markup, set the fuel surcharge, and offer free DHL over a cart subtotal.

Insurance and duties

Insure shipments for their value, pay duties and taxes for customers with DHL’s duties-paid service, or use neutral delivery for drop-shipping.

Checkout keeps working

Each quote waits at most 10 seconds. If OptimalShip is slow or down, DHL is left out for a few minutes and every other rate shows as usual.

Questions

OptimalShip questions

More in the docs.

How do I show DHL Express rates in WP EasyCart?

Install OptimalShip from EasyCart › Extensions with Premium, add your Optimal Logistics export/import number, and choose Live shipping rates in Settings › Shipping. DHL then shows at checkout next to your other live rates, with delivery days.

Do I need WP EasyCart PRO for OptimalShip?

Yes. DHL is a live rate, so it needs WP EasyCart PRO. DHL rates then show alongside your other live rates.

What account do I need for OptimalShip?

An account with Optimal Logistics, the DHL Express reseller behind OptimalShip. You enter the export/import number they give you, and every quote is priced on your account.

Can OptimalShip print DHL labels or track shipments?

No. OptimalShip gives rates at checkout only. Book and label shipments with Optimal Logistics.

Does OptimalShip quote domestic shipments?

No. It quotes shipments that leave your ship-from country, so DHL is never offered at home. Set up another live carrier for domestic orders. You can offer DHL to every international country, only some, or all except some.

Can I add a markup or offer free DHL shipping?

Yes. Add a flat or percent markup on the total or the base rate, set the fuel surcharge, and offer free DHL when the cart subtotal reaches an amount you choose.

What happens at checkout if OptimalShip is down?

Each quote waits at most 10 seconds. If OptimalShip does not answer, DHL is left out for 5 minutes and every other rate shows as usual.
