netSEO DPD AWB Generation for CS-Cart - DPD Romania Shipping Label Generation Integration Module

netSEO: Generate AWB DPD for CS-Cart

netSEO: DPD AWB Generation is a professional addon for CS-Cart that automates the generation of AWB labels by integrating with the DPD Romania API (api.dpd.ro). The module eliminates manual data entry into the DPD platform, automatically retrieves order data and integrates shipments directly into orders.

Automatic generation of AWB labels

The module allows generating AWB labels directly from the order page, with a pre-filled form:

• Recipient and address data (county, town, address, contact, telephone, email)
• Pick-up point (only points in the customer's DPD contract; "Default address" = main office)
• DPD service (e.g. DPD STANDARD)
• No. of shipments (parcels) and total weight with distribution to parcels
• Dimensions per package (width, length, height)
• Transport payment (sender or recipient), cash on delivery, insured value
• Unique reference (order_id|domain), remarks, package content

The shipping process becomes fast, without manually entering data into the DPD app.

Pickup points and sender

The module only uses the customer's pickup points (from the DPD contract), not all DPD offices. When selecting "Default address" the main office (the first customer in the contract) is sent. When generating the AWB, the sender is identified by clientId and phone (DPD API); the company name and contact are not sent when using clientId, as required by the API.

Multi-package shipments

The module manages shipments with multiple packages under a single AWB:

• Number of submissions configured in the form
• A single AWB with labels 1/2, 2/2 or 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 etc.
• One refund for the entire shipment
• Dynamic table: weight and dimensions per package; total weight automatically calculated
• Correct parcel sequencing (seqNo) to DPD API

AWB currency and cash on delivery conversion

The addon allows you to set the currency in which the AWB is generated (refund, insured value) from the active currencies of the platform (e.g. RON). In CS-Cart Ultimate, the setting is per storefront. The refund and insured value are automatically converted from the order currency to the AWB currency; in the form, the values are already displayed in the chosen currency (including the correct conversion of the order total from the primary currency to the AWB currency).

Unique reference and remarks

The module includes the Unique Reference field, pre-populated with the order_id|domain format (e.g. 1028|cs-cart.ro), to identify the shipment on the AWB. The package content can be customized (e.g. "Order {order_id} placed on {domain}.").

Full integration with CS-Cart orders

The order data is automatically retrieved:

• Customer information and delivery address
• Payment method (refund or not)
• Total amount for cash on delivery (converted to AWB currency)
• Natural person/legal entity: company name and CUI from the configured profile fields
• Recipient name: if there is a company name and CUI, "COMPANY NAME (CUI)" is sent

Settings allow you to exclude certain payment methods from cash on delivery.

View and print AWB labels

After generation, the order page displays:

• AWB number generated
• PDF view link (AWB label)
• AWB delete button

When deleting the AWB, the administrator is redirected to the order details (without reloading to the deletion URL).

AWB deletion

The module allows the deletion of a generated AWB (within the period accepted by the DPD API):

• Deletion on the DPD platform (API)
• Delete from addon database
• Delete associated shipment from CS-Cart (shipments / shipment_items)
• Redirect to order detail page after deletion

Shipping management in CS-Cart

After generating the AWB:

• Creating or updating a shipment in CS-Cart (carrier DPD, tracking number = AWB number)
• Optional: automatic change of order status after AWB generation (configurable in settings: Yes/No and desired status, e.g. Complete)

Advanced configuration

Settings available in the addon:

• DPD Romania API credentials (Username, password) and test mode
• Profile fields: Company name field ID, CUI field ID (legal entities)
• AWB currency (from active currencies; in Ultimate: per storefront)
• Default number of packages, default weight, package dimensions (width, length, height)
• Parcel content message (template with {order_id}, {domain})
• Payment methods without cash on delivery (cash on delivery exclusion)
• Change order status after AWB generation (Yes/No)
• Order status after AWB (e.g. Complete)

Pnatural and legal persons

The module automatically retrieves data from the configured profile fields:

• Company name and CUI for legal entities
• Contact and address for all orders

For the recipient, if there is a company name and CUI, the name sent to DPD is "COMPANY NAME (CUI)".

History and costs

The generated AWBs are saved in the addon database:

• order_id, awb_number, info_sent (data sent), message_in (API response), cost, created_at
• The data allows tracking of shipments and reconciliation with DPD

Test mode

The module includes test mode (DPD API) for checking configuration and flow without generating real AWBs.

License and dependencies

The addon depends on netSEO Addons Manager for license verification. The license code is configured in the module settings. Updates are managed through the CS-Cart Upgrade Center, and existing settings are preserved during upgrades.

Native integration into CS-Cart

netSEO: DPD AWB Generation integrates into the CS-Cart administration interface: "Generate AWB" button on the order page (transportation section), dedicated form with shipping and recipient data, AWB list and actions (PDF, delete) without leaving the order screen.

Without direct DPD integration in CS-Cart, AWB generation becomes manual and error-prone. This addon offers label generation, contract pickup points, configurable AWB currency with correct COD conversion, and multi-parcel support in a single flow, optimized for e-commerce with DPD Romania.
