How to get started
- Install the extension to your Chrome browser.
- Right-click on the extension icon and go to Options, or open the extension and click the Settings cog. This will take you to the settings page for the extension.
- You will need to enter your DHL Express Commerce API Key and Subscription Key. There is a link in the settings page that will lead you to the DHL Express Commerce API settings page. Copy these details across and save them in the extension settings page.
- Enable the functionality for the platforms you use. For example, if you use Shopify to manage orders, toggle the Shopify setting. When you click Save, the extension will prompt you to allow it to access your data from shopify.com. Click Allow to ensure the extension works correctly.
