- ELEX WooCommerce DHL Paket Auto-Label Generation Add-On
Step 1: Install and Activate the ELEX DHL Plugin on your WooCommerce store
The very first step is to set up the ELEX DHL plugin on your WooCommerce store. Read the setup guide to set the plugin on your WooCommerce store. Once the plugin is installed, activate the plugin.
Step 2: Set up the ELEX DHL Paket Auto-label Generation Add-on plugin on your WooCommerce store.

After installing the plugin you can configure the plugin on your store.

Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > DHL Paket
Then navigate to the Automatic Label Generation part on the tabs. The plugin settings will look like as shown below:
In the above settings, you need to enable auto-label generation. You can also disable it as per your requirements. The following are the settings you need to consider:
Enable Auto Email Generation: You can enable this option for generating DHL Paket shipping labels on your WooCommerce store automatically.
Order Status: Here you can choose the order status from the drop-down for which you want to auto-generate the shipping label. Whenever the order is in the given status, the add-on will automatically create a shipment and generate the shipping label for the order (s).
If any shipment is already created and the specific order comes under one of the configured order statuses, the add-on will just fetch the generated label URL and email it to the configured recipients.
Step 3: Configure Email Settings
Here you need to configure the email settings in the plugin. In the Email Recipient(s) you can choose the recipients to whom the email should be sent.
The next settings include adding email, name, subject, and the email content.
Step 4: Configure Shipment Failed Email Notification Settings
The plugin also lets you configure the notifications for failed shipments. Shipments might fail because of reasons like the shipping service chosen by the customer might return no rates, the customer selects a default shipping method, or any third-party shipping service other than the ones offered by the ELEX WooCommerce DHL plugin. In these cases, it is important to notify the customer of the failure of shipment creation via email.
Step 5: Demonstration
Suppose you have set the auto-email generation for the order status ” Processing”, you can set the plugin settings as shown in the image below:
As per the above settings, when the order is in the Processing status the plugin will generate a label and email it to the email ids associated with the customer, shop owner, and the custom email provided in the settings.
Hence, when the customer places an order, if you go to the respective order page and see that the order is in the Processing state, a shipping label will be auto-generated and emailed.
In the email, you can click on the link and obtain the shipping label and print it.
The shipping label will look like as shown in the image below:
