DHL Express Shipping for Magento 2 (REST API) is a custom-built carrier integration for international merchants who depend on DHL Express for cross-border parcels. Magento Open Source ships only the legacy DHL XML/SOAP carrier in core, which DHL is retiring in favour of its modern MyDHL / DHL Express REST API — this extension replaces that gap with a clean, native implementation.

ECOSIRE delivers it as a proper Magento module under app/code/Ecosire/DhlExpress, registered via registration.php and wired through dependency injection (di.xml). The carrier is implemented as a Magento\Shipping\Model\Carrier\AbstractCarrierOnline subclass exposing live rates at checkout — quote requests are mapped from the quote's shipping address, package weight and dimensions to DHL's /rates REST endpoint, with results returned as standard Magento Method objects so they render in checkout, multishipping and the admin order create screen.

On shipment, the module calls DHL's /shipments endpoint to produce the air waybill, the commercial / proforma invoice and customs paperwork (HS codes, declared value, incoterms, customs line items), stores the returned label PDF against the Magento shipment, and writes the DHL tracking number back so it appears in the customer account, order emails and the admin grid. Multi-piece shipments are supported by mapping multiple Magento shipment packages to DHL piece records.

Configuration lives under Stores → Configuration → Sales → Shipping Methods, with API credentials, account number, label format and a sandbox toggle stored encrypted in core_config_data. Admin actions respect Magento ACL; webhooks/cron handle tracking refresh. Works on Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce, and exposes shipment data to the existing REST/GraphQL order APIs. Because it is build-to-order, ECOSIRE tailors weight/dimension logic, incoterms defaults and product attribute mapping to your exact catalogue before handing over a working install.
