DHL

+ Shopify,

perfectly in sync.

Shipping

Centralized ERP Solutions for Streamlining Business Processes

Scaling issues

When your commerce stack outgrows plugins.

As brands expand across markets, plugins collapse under operational complexity. Galantis Connect removes the architectural limits that cause delays, mismatches, and failures at scale.

Label Generation Bottlenecks

DHL shipping labels fail to generate during peak order volume because basic API integrations lack retry logic

Label formats differ between DHL Express, DHL Parcel, and DHL eCommerce requiring manual template switches

Address validation errors cause label rejections that pile up as unshipped orders in Shopify

International shipments need commercial invoices and customs data that basic plugins can’t auto-populate

Tracking Visibility Gaps

Tracking numbers push to Shopify hours late leaving customers checking empty tracking pages

Multi-leg DHL shipments show only the first tracking event instead of the full delivery journey

Status mapping between DHL milestones and Shopify fulfillment states is incomplete or outdated

Customers receive no proactive notifications for delivery exceptions or customs holds

Returns & Reverse Logistics

Return labels must be generated manually because DHL return APIs aren’t connected to Shopify RMA flows

Refund processing waits on warehouse confirmation that never syncs back to Shopify automatically

Return shipment tracking isn’t visible in Shopify so support teams can’t answer customer inquiries

Cross-border returns require separate customs documentation that existing integrations don’t handle

Rate & Cost Management

DHL contract rates aren’t reflected at Shopify checkout leading to margin erosion on shipping fees

Dimensional weight calculations differ between DHL billing and Shopify shipping estimates

Surcharge updates from DHL (fuel, remote area, peak season) aren’t applied to Shopify in real time

Multi-carrier rate comparison isn’t possible when DHL runs through a standalone Shopify plugin

Solution

Enterprise commerce runs on architecture, not plugins. Galantis Connect provides a persistent middleware layer that supports continuous scale and complexity.

Why we are different

Why

Galantis

A true middleware layer, not an app.

Built as a microservices-based integration layer for Shopify and Odoo, designed for global operations.

Event-driven foundation.

Guaranteed delivery, retries, and idempotent flows for reliable orders, inventory, and returns.

Governed data models.

Centralized mapping with version control for products, pricing, and regional configurations.

Full observability.

Distributed tracing, logs, flow health dashboards, and alerts for tech and operations teams.

API-first architecture.

Extend and connect new systems without vendor lock-in.

Built as core infrastructure.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Netus venenatis tortor porttitor tellus eget ullamcorper neque.

Persistent middleware layer instead of connector plugins

No cascading failures or silent data loss

No fragile custom scripts or manual patches

Address validation errors cause label rejections that pile up as unshipped orders in Shopify

International shipments need commercial invoices and customs data that basic plugins can’t auto-populate

Not a Point-to-Point API Call

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Netus venenatis tortor porttitor tellus eget ullamcorper neque.

No cascading failure risk

No silent data loss

No unpredictable coupling

Address validation errors cause label rejections that pile up as unshipped orders in Shopify

International shipments need commercial invoices and customs data that basic plugins can’t auto-populate

Not a One-Off Integration Project

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Netus venenatis tortor porttitor tellus eget ullamcorper neque.

No fragile custom code

No single-developer knowledge bottlenecks

No brittle, hand-maintained scripts

Address validation errors cause label rejections that pile up as unshipped orders in Shopify

International shipments need commercial invoices and customs data that basic plugins can’t auto-populate
