Child accounts are attached to your parent DHL Express Commerce account. Your child account generally has different settings from your parent DHL Express Commerce account eg different accounts, integrations, pickup address and more.

There are four types of child accounts:

1. Multi-workstation

Use this when you have two or more printers set up at different workstations and you're using a print client. Each workstation needs its own login to access the print client. All settings are inherited from the parent account except for the printer settings ( Settings > Printing). 

2. Multi-location

Use this when you are shipping from two or more physical locations. Your multi-location child account has access to all courier accounts, print settings, and sender addresses. Customer notifications and integrations are inherited from your parent account. Rules can be used to assign orders from your parent account to the child account. Orders which are fulfilled on these child accounts will write-back via the parent account.

3. Multi-3PL

Use this when you are shipping from one location but you have multiple client accounts with their own settings. The parent account ships orders from all child accounts by overriding the accounts. Shipment rates are hidden on each child account and the user will not be able to access account settings.

4. Full access
