Steps
Register with your local DPD entity's shipper/e-solutions portal (this varies by country, e.g. DPD NL's integrations.dpd.nl or the group-wide developer.dpdgroup.com) and obtain shipper credentials.
Call the login/authentication service first to get a session token before calling any shipment or ParcelShopFinder service — DPD explicitly prohibits calling other services without a valid login token.
Query the ParcelShopFinder service with a location (address or coordinates) to get nearby shops, each returned with a unique parcelshop ID, address, and lat/long.
Build the shipment request with the standard recipient address plus the mandatory Ship-to-Shop service flag and the selected parcelshop ID — the customer's real address is still required even though delivery routes to the shop.
Submit the shipment to receive a label, and store the parcelshop ID for tracking/notification purposes.
Known gotchas
DPD's API surface is fragmented by country/subsidiary (NL, BE, DE, RO, etc. each have separate portals and slightly different WSDLs/endpoints) — confirm you're using your contracting country's docs, not a different market's.
The login/session token is short-lived and must be refreshed; reusing an expired token against ParcelShopFinder or shipment services will fail authentication.
Ship-to-Shop is a distinct mandatory service flag, not just 'any address that happens to be a parcelshop' — omitting the flag will misroute the parcel to the literal address instead of shop pickup.
