Connecting your DPD account with Shiptheory is very easy and will allow you to start booking your orders in instantly.


1. Enable DPD within your account:

The first thing you'll need to do is select DPD as a carrier you'd like to use. To do this, you will want to go to the carrier's page within your account. From this page, scroll down until you see the DPD option and click to enable it within your account. It shouldn't be too far down, the list is in alphabetical order.


2. Enter your DPD account details:

Once enabled, you will be taken to the DPD settings page. This is where you will enter your DPD details to connect the account to Shiptheory. 


The details you will need can be seen below:

  • Account Number
  • myDPD Username
  • myDPD Password

These details can all be found within your myDPD account, or by contacting your DPD account manager.


You will also have the option to enable Paperless Trade with DPD. To find out more about using this with Shiptheory, you can read our DPD Paperless Trade guide.


3. Test the connection:

After entering your DPD details, you can test the connection. To do this, scroll down and click the Test Connection button. If you get a green tick, as shown below, you're all set to go! Just hit Save and DPD is successfully connected!

Test connection failing? The first thing to do is to double-check the details you've entered are correct. If they are, reach out to our Support Team, who will be able to assist you in finishing your setup.


4. Configure the advanced settings:

You will also want to quickly take a look through the advanced settings available for DPD. To access these settings, click the Advanced Settings option at the very bottom of the DPD settings page (as seen above). 


This will expand the page to reveal further settings available with DPD through Shiptheory. These settings are not required to use DPD with Shiptheory so you may not need to edit any of them.
