The DB Schenker extension allows you to offer the DB Schenker collection point and delivery services to your customers.

Contents

The DB Schenker collection point service enables customers to select a collection point to which their order should be shipped. With the DB SCHENKERparcel service, customers can specify the address to which the parcel will be delivered.

The extension allows you to print shipping labels with barcodes directly from the admin panel's order page.

Pricing

Using the extension is free of charge but requires a logistics contract with DB Schenker. Upon the enablement of the service, DB Schenker will provide you with an individual quotation stating the costs of the service in your online store.

Ask for a quote or more information.

Installation and setup

Extensions are not available in MyCashflow Free plan.

  1. First, register as a customer in DB Schenker's online service, and conclude a transport contract.

    DB Schenker will send you the credentials you need for using the extension.

  2. Subscribe to the DB Schenker extension on the Account > Apps > DB Schenker page in MyCashflow's admin panel.
  3. Enter the credentials you received from DB Schenker in the form.

    At the Shipping labels stage, select DB Schenker and the preferred package service.

  5. Define settings for the shipping method and add weight limits and shipping costs.

DB Schenker can now be used at the online store's checkout. Optionally, you can create multiple shipping methods using DB Schenker e.g. for different versions or customer groups.

Shipping method-specific credentials

You can use multiple DB Schenker credentials in your online store by entering them in the Shipping method-specific credentials section in the settings of shipping methods that use DB Schenker.

After you have entered the DB Schenker credentials for a shipping method, all the shipments using it will have their shipping labels created with that particular account. Other DB Schenker shipping methods will use the credentials entered in the settings of the extension.

Defining the shipping label size

When the shipping method for an order uses the DB Schenker integration, the size of the address label can be selected from the following options in the shipping method settings:
  • CP/A5
  • Long

Here's how to set the print size for shipping labels:

  1. In the admin panel of your online store, go to Settings > Shipping methods.
  2. On the left side menu, open a shipping method that uses the DB Schenker integration.
  3. Press the Edit button on the header row of the shipping method.

    The shipping method form opens.

  4. On the shipping method form, select the appropriate size from the drop-down menu in the Document type section.
  5. Save the changes by pressing the Save button at the bottom of the page.

Printing shipping labels

Here's how to print a DB Schenker shipping label for an order:

  1. In the admin panel of your online store, go to Orders.
  2. Open an order that uses a DB Schenker shipping method and for which you want to print a shipping label.
  3. Press the Create address label link in the Shipping details section.

    A tracking code is created for the order, and a print window opens. If the order is divided into multiple shipments, each will have its own shipping label printed on a separate page.

  4. Print the shipping label and close the print window.

    If necessary, you can reopen the print window by pressing the Print address label link, which is now shown in the Shipping details section on the order page.
