## At a glance

- **Vendor**: dhl (https://packagento.com/dhl.md)
- **Latest version**: 2.15.0 — released 2026-03-19
- **Pricing**: Free
- **Package type**: Metapackage (bundle of modules)
- **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/shipping-m2 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/shipping-m2:*
   bin/magento setup:upgrade
   bin/magento setup:di:compile
   bin/magento cache:flush
   ```

## README

Post & DHL Shipping Extension for Magento 2
===========================================

The extension Post & DHL Shipping is a plugin to integrate Post & DHL logistics APIs
into the Magento 2 platform's order processing workflow.

This is a *meta package*, which means it is a compilation of several other composer packages
that only together enable the functionality of the plugin.

Please see the file `composer.json` for the full list of included packages.

### Requirements and Compatibility

Generally, Post & DHL Shipping is compatible with PHP 8.3.0 and later, and Magento 2.4.8 and later.

For detailed system requirements, please see the packages required in `composer.json`.

### Installation Instructions

Install sources:

    composer require dhl/shipping-m2

Refresh Magento 2 database and caches:

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

### Uninstallation

Please see the packages required in `composer.json` for individual uninstallation instructions.

To remove the metapackage from the application, run the following command:
    
    composer remove dhl/shipping-m2

## Quality

Latest release (2.15.0) passes 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 | – | not tested | not tested | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | not tested | not tested |


### 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 | N/A | 0 | metapackage ships no source of its own — phpcs skipped (#122) |
| PHPMD | N/A | 0 | metapackage ships no source of its own — phpmd skipped (#122) |
| Cpd | N/A | 0 | metapackage ships no source of its own — cpd skipped (#122) |
| PHP Compatibility | N/A | 0 | metapackage ships no source of its own — php-compatibility skipped (#122) |
| 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 | – | Skipped | Skipped | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | Skipped | Skipped |


### 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 | N/A | 0 | metapackage ships no source of its own — malware scan skipped (#122) |

## 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/shipping-m2"],
  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.
