DHL eCommerce Shipping and API

Save time and money on your DHL eCommerce shipping, by integrating your eCommerce technology with Whistl’s free and bespoke courier management software.

Access 'pooled volume' discounted rates from our carefully selected range of carrier partners.

DHL Shipping API Integration (SaaS):

APIs are flexible tools that allow developers to create custom integrations with Whistl multi-carrier shipping software. Utilised correctly, this can enable fully or partially automated label production, bespoke order management and parcel tracking across our wide range of carriers and services through a single API integration.

For large-scale retailers, brands and wholesalers looking to retain their existing DHL contract, our DHL shipping API enables companies to manage and track shipments automatically using their system.
