For multiple locations in Shopify, the enhanced Shopify integration in DHL Express Commerce is recommended. You should establish a DHL Express Commerce child account for each Shopify fulfillment location and configure the enhanced integration for each. Within Shopify settings on each child account, from the locations drop down, select the location that corresponds to that child account. This will allow only orders from that location to import to that child account.

DHL Express Commerce will update the fulfillment status of your Shopify orders. It does this by automatically providing tracking information to Shopify and marking orders as fulfilled. This can be set to occur upon printing labels or when you manifest orders, depending on your preference set in Settings > Integrations and check the option Write back order updates on manifest.
Shopify tags can be imported into DHL Express Commerce and will appear within the order grid. This is available by enabling the setting in Settings > Integrations > Shopify Settings > Advanced and check the option Import order tags, which is visible when using UI 2.0, as tags are supported in this version.
Orders with fraud warnings are typically allowed to import into DHL Express Commerce by default. However, if you prefer to block such orders, navigate to Settings > Integrations > Shopify Settings > Advanced and check the option Check fraudulent orders. Orders with a cancellation recommendation will then be excluded from import.
To prevent pre-orders from importing into DHL Express Commerce, tag these orders in Shopify with Pre-order or a similar tag. Configure DHL Express Commerce to exclude these by entering the tag in the Exclude orders with these tags field under Settings > Integrations > Shopify Settings > Advanced. When ready to ship these orders, remove the tag in Shopify and conduct a manual import in DHL Express Commerce, specifying the number of days since the order was created to ensure all relevant pre-orders are imported.
You can integrate multiple Shopify accounts with your DHL Express Commerce account. To add additional accounts, go to Settings > Integrations > Add a new integration, and select Shopify for each account you wish to add.
