## At a glance

- **Vendor**: dhl (https://packagento.com/dhl.md)
- **Latest version**: 1.4.0 — released 2026-06-03
- **Pricing**: Free
- **Package type**: Magento 2 module
- **Status**: active, accepting new buyers

## Installation

Packagento is licence-gated, so even free packages need a licence on a project before Composer can resolve them.

1. **Sign in or create an account** at https://packagento.com/customer/account/.

2. **Add the package to your account.** Open https://packagento.com/dhl/module-carrier-update and complete the free checkout. A licence is minted automatically.

3. **Create or pick a project, then activate the licence on it.**
   - Projects represent the Magento installs you deploy to. Manage them at https://packagento.com/projects/.
   - Activate the new licence on the project you'll deploy this package to. Activation is what generates the Composer credentials scoped to that project.

4. **Add the project credentials to your Magento codebase.**

   Grab the project's public + private key from https://packagento.com/projects/ (open the project, then its Credentials tab), and add them to `auth.json`:

   ```json
   {
     "http-basic": {
       "packagento.com": {
         "username": "ppk_live_...",
         "password": "psk_live_..."
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   Add the Packagento Composer repository to `composer.json`:

   ```json
   {
     "repositories": [
       { "type": "composer", "url": "https://packagento.com" }
     ]
   }
   ```

5. **Install and apply.**

   ```bash
   composer require dhl/module-carrier-update:*
   bin/magento setup:upgrade
   bin/magento setup:di:compile
   bin/magento cache:flush
   ```

DHL Paket Shipping Carrier Update Extension
===========================================

Companion module to the DHL Paket carrier that allows to rewrite the
shipping method's carrier code when placing an order.

Description
-----------

With the introduction of the
[Deutsche Post & DHL Shipping](https://marketplace.magento.com/dhl-shipping-m2.html) 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](https://github.com/netresearch/dhl-shipping-m2/issues/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](https://github.com/netresearch/dhl-shipping-m2/issues/11#issuecomment-800547526).

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.

Requirements
------------
* PHP >= 8.3

Compatibility
-------------
* Magento >= 2.4.8+

Installation Instructions
-------------------------

Install sources:

    composer require dhl/module-carrier-update

Enable module:

    ./bin/magento module:enable Dhl_CarrierUpdate

Flush cache and compile:

    ./bin/magento cache:flush
    ./bin/magento setup:di:compile

Uninstallation
--------------

To unregister the module from the application, run the following command:

    ./bin/magento module:uninstall --remove-data Dhl_CarrierUpdate
    composer update

This will automatically remove source files and update package dependencies.

Support
-------
This module does not receive official maintenance or support.

GitHub issues can be created to open discussions with other users of the module.

## Quality

Latest release (1.4.0) fails the Packagento QA pipeline. Verdicts below are per-cell (Magento line × PHP version) for the matrixed tools, and run-once for the static / security tiers.


### Compatibility

Each Magento line is installed on its supported PHP versions, then the module is built (DI compile + static-content deploy). Cells show passed / failed / untested; staircase gaps render as `–`.

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | not tested | not tested | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | Pass | Pass | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | Pass | Pass |


### Code Quality

Advisory checks against the module's source. Never affect the Compatibility verdict — a phpcs finding can't make a module incompatible.

#### Static Analysis

Coding standards (phpcs), mess detection (phpmd), copy-pasted code (cpd), PHP cross-version compatibility, composer.json validity. Each runs once for the whole module.

| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPCS | Warning | 1 | 1 warning (ruleset: Magento2) |
| PHPMD | Pass | 0 |  |
| Cpd | Pass | 0 |  |
| Composer validate | Info | 1 | valid; 1 advisory note (composer validate --strict) |

#### PHPStan

Type-checks the module against a real Magento install. Re-runs per Magento + PHP version because resolvable symbols differ between releases.

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | Error | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | 113 | 113 | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | 105 | 105 |


### Tests

Unit and integration suites run per Magento + PHP cell. Test failures speak to the module's behaviour, not its compatibility with a line, so they're reported here separately.

#### Unit Tests

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A |

#### Integration Tests

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A |


### Security

Dependency-advisory audit (composer audit) plus a source malware scan. A malware detection fails the version outright.

| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composer audit | Pass | 0 |  |
| Malware scan | Pass | 0 |  |

## Licence and pricing

Free. A licence is still minted on checkout and bound to your project for Composer access — no payment step.

Refundable within 14 days of first purchase via https://packagento.com/account/refunds/.

## Install via Claude Code or any MCP client

The Packagento MCP server can run the licence + project + Composer steps above in one tool call:

```
purchase_and_install_packages(
  composer_names=["dhl/module-carrier-update"],
  project_id="proj_xxx"
)
```

This handles cart, checkout, licence minting, project activation, and writes auth.json credentials. Connect a client with `claude mcp add packagento https://mcp.packagento.com`. Full setup at https://packagento.com/docs/mcp-setup.
