DPD by Montonio contract is only available for Estonian merchants (sending from Estonia).
Montonio collaborates together with DPD to offer competitive parcel machine pricing to even small merchants so that everyone has a fair chance at offering affordable shipping to their customers.
How does DPD by Montonio work?
When opting for this version, you will not have a signed contract with DPD to handle your packages. Montonio offers you pricing, sends you the invoice, and helps with parcel-related issues, while DPD still delivers the packages.
Note! You need to switch from the business view to the store view to be able to go to the store settings.
Go to Shipping under Store settings.
Find "DPD by Montonio" and click "Activate".
You can see the prices that will apply to sending. No returns are available at the moment.
Click on "Activate" and you'll be ready to send out parcels.
If you haven't already, then also add DPD parcel machines to your checkout. Read more about how to do it here.
You can carry on your shipping processes the same way as you have.
At the beginning of the next month, you will get an invoice from Montonio for the cost of the shipments.
Important! If you have been using a direct business contract with DPD*, you may receive two invoices for the delivery service during the transition period, both from DPD and from Montonio.
This may happen if you have been using your direct business contract for the first half of the month, and then, after activating the Montonio x DPD contract, you have been using Montonio's solution for the rest of the month. Please pay both bills. In the future, only one invoice will be issued from Montonio for the delivery service.
Availability
Montonio x DPD is currently available only for parcel machines sent from Estonia. If you wish to also provide a courier method, then you still need your own contract.
DPD by Montonio supports sending domestic packages in Estonia and sending only from Estonia to Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, and Sweden.
