Courier Directory

OVERVIEW

The Courier Directory page gives you a list of all the courier integrations that Courier API offers. You can see some of the courier integrations our system offers.

The main purpose of the Courier Directory is to allow you to make use of our system presets as well as creating your custom ones specific to each one of your API accounts.

SERVICE PRESETS

Service presets are specially configured codes that allow access to specific services each courier offers.

In Courier API, we add the most commonly used service presets for each courier and we update the presets in our system all the time to give our customers access to the most popular and up-to-date services. These are called the "system presets" in the Courier API system and you can view the available system presets for a courier by clicking on the relevant courier's logo in the courier directory:

Then you will be presented with a list of all the system presets available for DPD.

CREATING A NEW SERVICE PRESET

If the service preset you're looking for is not available in the system, you can add it for yourself. To do this:

1. Click on "Create Preset" on the top-right corner of the screen (if you have multiple API accounts, please make sure that you've selected the correct API account you wish to add this preset to):

2. Then fill in the information below. Please note that the details required for presets may differ from one courier to another.

3. If you'd like to use this new preset under certain circumstances, you can tick the "Apply restrictions to this preset" box and create rules for it by selecting certain parameters:

You can make your shipments go via this new service preset based on weight, dimensions, value and more. As an example, you can allow this preset for shipments over £50 and under £100 or use it only for shipments going to a certain postcode area. You can also select the countries in which you'd like to support this preset: 

4. If you have got multiple API accounts and you wish to make this new preset available for them as well, tick the "Add to multiple accounts" box and select the API accounts you need or alternatively, click on the "All Accounts" button to apply this change to all of your accounts.

5. Once you've finished making all the configurations, hit "Create Preset" and the new preset you've just created will appear in the list of presets, with a "custom" tag next to it.

You can go back and edit or delete your custom presets anytime you wish to do so.
