Now, let’s get to know how to automatically generate the shipping labels for DHL Paket on your WooCommerce store.
Requirements:
For auto-generating and emailing DHL Paket labels, you need the following:
- ELEX WooCommerce DHL Express / eCommerce / Paket Shipping Plugin with Print Label
- ELEX WooCommerce DHL Paket Auto-Label Generation Add-On
Plugin Settings
After installing and activating the plugin,
Go to Dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins > ELEX DHL Paket Auto-Generate & Email Labels Add-On > Settings
Or
Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > DHL Paket
The very first thing you need to do is enable the auto email generation to generate the DHL Paket shipping labels automatically. You can disable the option following the requirements.
To generate the DHL Paket labels, you need to choose the order status like processing, on-hold, canceled or refunded, etc. Upon choosing the particular order status, the plugin will generate an email for the corresponding order status you choose in your store.
Whenever your order status is any of the chosen ones, the add-on will automatically create a shipment, and generates the shipping label(s), and sends it to the configured email recipients.
Email Settings
The next important setting is to enable the email settings as to whom the email needs to be sent, the email ids, the subject, and the content for the email.
Here you can choose the corresponding recipients to whom the email is auto-generated for the corresponding order statuses.
Shipment Failed Email Notification Settings
Whenever a shipment fails, it is important to keep the customer notified about the shipment or the reason to keep the customers informed. In certain cases the shipment might fail due to reasons like the shipping services selected by the customer might return no shipping rates, then the customer selects a default shipping method or third-party shipping service which are not offered by the ELEX WooCommerce DHL plugin.
Here in these settings, you can provide the email subject and the email content after enabling the email notification checkbox.
Let’s check an Example
Consider the following as the settings you have made to the plugin:
When a customer places an order in your store and the order is in the processing stage, an email is auto-generated from your store to the customer, shop owner, and the custom email address provided in the store as per the settings.
As you can see in the above image, you can click to generate the label or manifest to see and download the label or the manifest. At the same time, an email is auto-generated to the given email recipients, which will contain a link to view the label and print it.
Upon clicking the link as shown in the email, a shipping label can be printed and used.
As Said Above,
This is how you can automatically generate DHL Paket Labels on WooCommerce. If you are looking to include DHL Express and DHL eCommerce services, you can make use of the ELEX WooCommerce DHL Express / eCommerce / Paket Shipping Plugin with Print Label and its documentation for a better understanding.
