Reviews

Doesn’t Work with HPOS. No updates soon.

August 9, 2024
The plugin does not with WooCommerce’s HPOS, which is supposed to be the current feature of WooCommerce. I contacted DHL’s support. They said they have no immediate update or a promised timeline. Quite disappointing for such a reputable logistic company with such low ecommerce support. The app has not been updated for 10 months. Hope they will roll out not only a new update, but regular updates.

Only works in Malaysia and Thailand

November 6, 2023
Can’t really comment on the functionality of the plug-in, as it only works in Malaysia and Thailand. It would be nice if the developers actually mentioned that in the description somewhere. As for the limited testing I was able to do on the plug-in, I’ll have the following observations: It does not integrate into the WooCommerce shipping zones system. In my opinion, It’s not organised well in terms of its back-end aspects. It creates two new top level menus in the sidebar. One for the plug-ins settings (menu called DHLeCS), and another called “Manage Account pickup”. This one is for managing Pickup Locations associated with the DHL account.I would suggest having only one top-level menu item. Even better, I would suggest that since this is a WooCommerce plug-in it should add its menus not to the main Wordpress sidebar, but to the WooCommerce settings (like most other shipping and WooCommerce related plug-ins). To me, these two points show a lack of implementation planning (and user consideration) on the part of the developers. As does their ommitting to mention that it’s only of use to sites based in Thailand and Malaysia.
