commercetools + DPD integration for accurate rates, labels, and tracking
Connect commercetools with DPD to pull live shipping rates, generate labels, sync tracking updates, and reduce delivery issues across checkout and post-purchase flows.

• Order and delivery data from commercetools is transformed into DPD shipment requests, including recipient, address, parcel details, and selected service level.
• Shipping options selected at checkout are mapped to DPD product codes where available; unsupported combinations are rejected with validation errors before shipment creation.
• Label generation is handled through DPD APIs, and label metadata (format, size, identifier) is stored against the related shipment or delivery in commercetools.
• Tracking numbers returned by DPD are written back to commercetools so storefront and customer service can reference a single shipment identifier.
• DPD tracking events are polled or received via webhook (implementation-dependent) and translated into commercetools shipment status updates with timestamped history.
• Idempotency keys and external IDs are used to prevent duplicate shipments on retries; failures are logged with request/response context for traceability.
• Address normalization rules and field-level mappings handle differences in country formats, phone requirements, and pickup point identifiers when used.
• Delta-based updates send only changed shipment attributes to commercetools to avoid overwriting merchant-owned fields such as internal notes or custom state.
