Frequently Asked Questions
How do I automate DPD Local shipping?
Shipping rules assign the right DPD Local service automatically. Set the conditions once, based on weight, destination, order value, channel, or product, and every order is matched to a service as it imports, ready to print.
Can I use DPD and DPD Local together?
Yes. Both are available in Zenstores and shipping rules can send orders to either, using weight, order value, destination, or product as the condition, so the split happens as orders import.
Which DPD Local services are available through Zenstores?
Zenstores supports all DPD Local services, including Next Day, DPD 12, DPD 10:30, the Saturday and Sunday equivalents, and Two Day, on the same pay as you go basis DPD Local is built for.
Do I need my own DPD Local account?
Yes. Zenstores connects to your DPD Local account, so you ship on the rates you have agreed with them. If you don't have an account yet, get in touch and our team can point you in the right direction.
How do I print DPD Local labels in bulk?
Select the orders you want to ship and print the batch in one action. Labels go straight to your printer with no PDF to open and no print dialogue, and they come out in picking order.
Do I need a thermal printer for DPD Local labels?
No. Integrated labels put the shipping label and the dispatch note on one A4 sheet, so a laser or inkjet printer is enough. Any integrated label template works, and we recommend S4, S5, S7, S8, S16P, S19 or S20.
How do I create pick lists and packing slips for DPD Local orders?
Pick lists and packing slips generate automatically for the batch you're working on. Print them with your labels, or use integrated labels to put the label and dispatch note on a single sheet.
How do I stop the wrong item going into a DPD Local parcel?
Scan each item against the order before the label prints. Barcode scan-to-pack with a scanner like the Zebra 2278 verifies contents at the bench, so mispicks are caught before the parcel leaves.
Where does DPD Local tracking data go once a label is printed?
Straight back to the sales channel. The tracking number is pushed to Shopify, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce, Amazon, eBay, or Etsy, and the order is marked dispatched, so customer notifications go out automatically.
How do I add customs information to DPD Local international shipments?
A commercial invoice is generated when the label is created, with descriptions, values, weights and HS codes pulled from the order. Customs data is submitted electronically at the same time, so nothing is completed by hand.
Which sales channels can I ship DPD Local orders from?
Shopify, Shopify Plus, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce, Magento, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and TikTok. Orders from every channel land in one queue, so DPD Local shipments are processed in the same run whatever the source.
How long does it take to start shipping with DPD Local?
Most brands are shipping within a few days. Connecting your DPD Local account takes minutes, then it's setting up shipping rules and label printing to match how your warehouse works.
