commercetools integration with Schenker for automated shipping and tracking
Connect commercetools with Schenker (DB Schenker, now part of DSV) to automate labels, tracking, shipment status, returns, and B2B/B2C delivery rules across channels.

• Orders and address, parcel, and service-level attributes from Commercetools are mapped to DB Schenker shipment requests, including B2B fields such as references, Incoterms, and delivery instructions when present.
• Shipment creation triggers carrier label generation, and label PDFs or ZPL are stored against the order or shipment record with an external shipment identifier for traceability.
• Tracking numbers and carrier tracking URLs are written back to Commercetools as fulfillment or shipment custom fields, keeping storefront and support views in sync.
• Shipment status events are ingested from DB Schenker tracking or status endpoints and translated to Commercetools shipment states, with timestamped event history.
• Return shipment flows map RMA or return items to a return shipment request, with return labels and tracking linked back to the originating order.
• Validation rules handle mandatory fields per service and country, while errors and retries are logged with payload references for audit and troubleshooting.

Why choose scandiweb to handle Commercetools integration for you?
How do you connect commercetools with Schenker (DB Schenker, now part of DSV) for label printing and shipment creation?
We implement a carrier adapter that turns commercetools order and address data into Schenker shipment requests, then returns labels and shipment IDs back to your store. The setup supports multiple service levels and ship-from locations.
What shipment tracking and delivery status events can DB Schenker send back into commercetools?
You can sync tracking numbers, tracking URLs, milestone scans, and delivery confirmations into commercetools so customers and support see one status source. If your carrier events differ under DSV, we map them to the status model you use internally.
Can a commercetools – Schenker integration handle B2B delivery rules like Incoterms, split shipments, and appointment delivery?
Yes, we can apply rule logic for B2B scenarios, including Incoterms fields, partial shipments, freight options, and delivery scheduling signals. Rules can be driven by customer group, warehouse, or order attributes.
How does the integration manage returns with Schenker and keep returns status accurate in commercetools?
We can generate return shipments, labels, and RMA-linked tracking, then sync return status updates back into commercetools. This reduces manual work and keeps refund and restock workflows aligned with real carrier scans.
