Mintsoft DHL Express Integration
Connect your Mintsoft Account to the DHL Express Integration to simplify managing multiple carriers.
Seamless DHL Express Integration with Mintsoft
The DHL Express API integration with Mintsoft enables you to automate your entire international shipping process, from raising shipments and printing labels to tracking deliveries and managing customs documentation, all without leaving the Mintsoft platform.
Whether you're a 3PL managing shipping on behalf of multiple clients or an ecommerce retailer fulfilling orders globally, connecting DHL Express to Mintsoft removes the need to manually rekey order data into the DHL portal, saving time and reducing costly errors.
Automated shipment creation
Once an order is ready to despatch in Mintsoft, the DHL Express integration automatically transfers the order data to DHL to raise a shipment. There's no need to log into multiple platforms or manually enter delivery details. Mintsoft handles the data transfer, so your team can focus on picking, packing, and despatching.
Shipping label & documentation printing
After a shipment has been raised via the DHL Express integration, Mintsoft retrieves the DHL shipping label ready for printing, alongside any required despatch documentation. For international shipments, Mintsoft also supports DHL Paperless Trade (PLT) - where PLT is available for the destination country, customs documentation is submitted electronically, meaning you only need to print the shipping label. Where PLT is not available, Mintsoft will automatically print a paper commercial invoice to an A4 printer.
Real-time shipment tracking
Once orders have been despatched, shipment details sync from DHL Express back into Mintsoft, giving you full visibility of your deliveries. Track any order by searching by customer name, order number, or postcode. All connected sales channels are automatically updated with shipment tracking information at regular intervals, keeping your customers informed.
3PL shipping management
Mintsoft enables 3PLs to manage DHL Express shipping across multiple clients from a single platform. Connect DHL Express through your own account and pass shipping costs on through Mintsoft's 3PL invoicing capabilities, or connect via your clients' own DHL accounts. Rule-based logic can also be configured to automatically select the right DHL Express service based on criteria such as weight, destination, or order value.
Why You Need a DHL Express Integration
Reach customers across the globe
DHL Express provides time-definite, door-to-door shipping to over 220 countries and territories, with most international shipments arriving by the next possible working day. For ecommerce businesses looking to grow internationally, the Mintsoft DHL Express integration gives you the reach and reliability to serve customers worldwide, without adding complexity to your fulfilment operation.
Eliminate manual data entry
Without an integration, raising DHL Express shipments means logging into the DHL portal and manually entering order data - a time-consuming process that's prone to human error. By connecting DHL Express to Mintsoft via API, order data is transferred automatically to raise shipments and generate labels, removing the need for manual rekeying entirely.
Simplify international customs
Shipping internationally comes with customs requirements that can slow down fulfilment. Mintsoft's DHL Express integration supports DHL Paperless Trade (PLT), which allows customs documentation to be submitted electronically, eliminating the need to print and physically attach customs documents to your shipments. This speeds up customs clearance and reduces paperwork, helping your international orders reach customers faster.
Manage your multi-carrier strategy in one place
DHL Express is just one of over 80 courier integrations available within Mintsoft. By connecting DHL Express alongside your other carriers, you can manage your entire multi-carrier shipping strategy from a single platform, selecting the right service for each shipment based on cost, speed, and destination, without switching between systems.

Ecommerce Integrations
