Companion module to the DHL Paket carrier that allows to rewrite the shipping method's carrier code when placing an order.
With the introduction of the Deutsche Post & DHL Shipping module, a "feature" was removed that turned out to be popular amongst merchants: the ability to configure multiple shipping methods for processing with DHL Paket.
See GitHub issue #11.
This module brings back the configuration and sales_order_place_after observer
as implemented in the legacy module: The admin user can select a list of
offline shipping methods in the module configuration.
Stores → Configuration → Sales → Post & DHL Shipping → DHL Parcel Germany → Checkout Presentation → Additional Shipping Methods for DHL Paket
Please note that the DHL service box in checkout will not be displayed for these additional shipping methods.
The special methods "DHL Paket" and "DHL Paket Returns" can be ignored in the box "Shipping Methods for DHL Paket".
When an order is placed with one of the selected methods, then the DHL Paket carrier gets assigned to the order and further shipping fulfillment will be done with the DHL Business Customer Shipping API. This solution was suggested in the issue discussion.
The module applies very basic sanity checks:
- Is the configured shipping origin located in Germany?
- Is the selected shipping method configured for carrier reassignment?
These conditions can be modified or extended via DI configuration, e.g. if only orders placed in a certain store must be reassigned.
