ELEX WooCommerce DHL Express / eCommerce / Paket / Parcel Shipping Plugin with Print Label
WooCommerce DHL Shipping Integration Made Easy!
Do you want to add DHL Shipping to your WooCommerce store? Are you struggling to display the WooCommerce DHL shipping option on your Cart page? Do you want to print DHL shipping labels from your WooCommerce Orders dashboard easily?
The ELEX WooCommerce DHL Shipping Plugin with Print Label allows WooCommerce store owners to easily access DHL shipping rates and print DHL shipping labels for DHL Express, DHL Paket, DHL Parcel, and DHL eCommerce right from the WooCommerce dashboard.
How does this Plugin Work?
Top Features
Access DHL Shipping Rates
Based on the product weight, box dimensions, shipping destination, etc., the plugin fetches both DHL domestic and international shipping rates. You can choose to return list rates or account/negotiated rates and also show the breakdown of each service with estimated delivery time. The plugin consists of DHL Express, DHL Paket, and DHL eCommerce shipping service.
Print DHL Shipping Label
Using the plugin, you can print shipping labels for DHL on your WooCommerce store. Shipment details would automatically be sent to the DHL account, and then the shipping label would be generated, which you can print.
Postage is automatically paid on these labels using your DHL account. The plugin also provides the store admin with an option to change the shipping service before generating a label.
Print DHL Return Labels
Just like printing shipping labels, you can print DHL Return Shipping labels as well. If you have multiple items in a single order, you can choose the desired items to process the return shipment. In addition to this, you can even configure a custom shipping service for return shipments.
DHL Live Shipment Tracking
Store owners can track DHL shipments using the tracking number returned from DHL while generating the label. This tracking number will be added to order notes and will be sent as part of the order completion email.
A visual representation of tracking status can be seen in the Order edit page by Admin and in the Order section of the customer’s My Account page. The tracking information shows the current status of the shipment in transit.
Parcel Packaging with Multiple Options
Based on the weights and dimensions of the products in the cart, the rate will be calculated and applied to the final price of the order. Once the order is placed, the items will then be automatically packed into configured boxes.
You can choose from the following Packing options:
- Individual Item Packing Pack Into Custom Boxes with Weights and Dimensions
- Weight-Based (You can pack heavier items first, or lighter items first)
Price Adjustments
Configure handling fees for each shipping service, in terms of amount or percentage value. A positive value results in markup, whereas a negative value results in a discount.
Parcel Pickup Request
ELEX WooCommerce DHL Shipping Plugin allows you to place a parcel pickup request to DHL while creating shipments. You can specify the desired pickup day, time, and contact details. After successfully placing the pickup request, the store owner will get a unique booking number.
Print DHL Archive Air Waybills
A DHL Archive Air Waybill helps in services like ensuring package safety, and customs clearance and works as proof of consignment to track the shipment. You can choose to print either one or two archive documents.
Once you have enabled the Archive Air Waybill setting, an Air Waybill will be attached with the Shipping Label as well as the Return Shipping Label.
Print DHL Commercial Invoice
If you ship internationally, your products have to face Customs clearance. In such cases, you can generate a Commercial Invoice for your package(s). Please note, if you are sending domestic shipments to restricted areas like Military bases, Airforce bases, etc, you would need a commercial invoice too.
Further, you can go paperless with the DHL Paperless Trade (PLT) feature. With this feature, you do not have to print physical copies of commercial invoices, rather the invoice information is sent to Customs via DHL.
Compliance with EU Regulations
Create shipments to EU countries by adding your and your shoppers’ EORI, VAT, and EINs. These details will be added to the commercial invoice for authorized shipping to EU countries.
Add the Shipper Tax Registration Details for Seamless Shipments
Enter your shipper tax registration details to create barrier-free shipments to New Zealand, Norway, Australia, and the EU countries for your customers. These details will be added to the commercial invoice, which makes the customs process easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
After the plugin’s one year license expires, the plugin will continue to work as usual, but the download permission will be revoked. So, the updates for the plugin will stop.
The DHL Express module will work if your country has the DHL Express service. You can contact the DHL Express team and open an account and get the API credentials from them.
But the DHL Paket module works only in Germany, and the DHL eCommerce works only in the USA.
Yes, the plugin is capable of retrieving your account-specific rates.
Yes, the DHL Express and DHL eCommerce have the option to show live shipping rates. But the DHL Paket does not have the option since its API does not provide the rate request to access the live shipping rates.

Yes. Once the labels are generated, you need to mark the order status as ‘Completed’. Also, make sure you have enabled order completion email in the WooCommerce setting.
Yes, the $79 fee is a first-time purchase rate. After a year, if you wish to get the plugin updates, you may repurchase the plugin. But the existing premium plugin will still work finely without any issues. This means both labels and rates feature will work unless your WooCommerce version requires the plugin update.
Yes, you can create Return shipments if you have enabled the return shipment option in the plugin settings. Once you create a shipment, you get the option to create a return shipment as well.

Yes, we do. There are a number of other formats which the plugin supports, including 8×4, ZPL, & EPL.

DO not use any other DHL plugin except for this one! Trust me.
I use DHL Thailand for shipping and it was an absolute nightmare to get their API working using some other plugins (1stdeveloper) was one I tried, and it would only return shipping options for documents, we ship clothes. I spent a good week trying to get it to play nice with DHL API to no avail!
WooForce’s plugin worked right out of the box for me, returned viable shipping methods and no problems were encountered at any point. SO massive thanks to these guys because it was going to be a huge pain to change shipping companies for the e-commerce part of our site to work. Thanks!!!!
Also, customer service help is top notch, they were understanding and spent some time helping me test that this plugin would work before I even bought it, using my account details.
I will be using WooForce for all my shipping plugins from now on. Thanks for writing awesome plugins guys!
