Setup (Reference)
All settings of the DPD Austria connector in detail. You find the setup on the Shipment Provider Card (hub → Shipment Providers → DPDAT); the fastest way through the initial configuration is the setup wizard.
Authentication

Meaning |
| API Base URL |

Status
The read-only fields Last Label Created, Labels Created Today, Last Self-Booking List, Last Error Message, and Last Error Date/Time show the operating state — the same information is more conveniently available on the dashboard.
License
The provider card's license FactBox shows license status, demo expiry, and remaining days. Register Demo starts the free trial period, Refresh License synchronizes the status with the license server.
