Questions & answers
Why integrate the DB Schenker API through Sendcloud instead of directly?
Direct DB Schenker integration means managing Group ID, Access Key, Address ID, Packing Type, Pickup time windows, and (for French customers) Test/sandbox environment toggling, plus mandatory parcel dimensions on every shipment to calculate loading meters.
Through Sendcloud, you authenticate once with your Sendcloud API key and use a single REST schema for DB Schenker alongside every other carrier in your account. A direct DB Schenker contract is required either way; Sendcloud rates aren't offered for DB Schenker.
What happens when DB Schenker updates or breaks their API?
DB Schenker periodically updates eSchenker authentication, freight service definitions, and customs flow for Part Load shipments. Direct integrators have to track changes and re-test payloads.
When you ship DB Schenker through the Sendcloud REST API, the abstraction layer absorbs those changes. Sendcloud's engineering monitors DB Schenker's documentation and adjusts the carrier connector internally. Your Sendcloud request schema stays the same.
Can I use my own DB Schenker contract?
Yes, and you have to. DB Schenker requires a direct contract; Sendcloud rates aren't offered. Currently available from Belgium and the Netherlands.
In Sendcloud, go to Shipping > Carriers > My Contracts, click Add your own contract, find DB Schenker, and click Add Contract. Enter Group ID, Access Key, optional Address ID, Packing Type, and Pickup from/to hours from your eSchenker account. French customers must enable the Test/sandbox environment first to validate setup before going live.
A Lite, Growth, or Premium plan is required. See the DB Schenker own contract activation Help Center article.
Which DB Schenker products are supported through the API?
Through Sendcloud, you can ship DB Schenker's freight and pallet line:
DB Schenker System Euro PalletandOne Way Pallet: home delivery for pallets up to 2,500 kgDB Schenker System - Fix Day to be Agreed: scheduled delivery dateDB Schenker System Premium: priority delivery, Fix Day, Before 10 AM / 1 PM optionsDB Schenker Part Load: shipments up to 19,400 kg with customs clearance (DDP/DAP), Pre-Notice SMS/Email, and time-window pickup/delivery
Domestic and international freight available. See the DB Schenker shipping conditions Help Center article.
Which DB Schenker-specific features does the API expose?
DB Schenker-specific features exposed through the integration:
Pallet shipments up to 2,500 kg (System) and Part Load up to 19,400 kg with 55 cubic meter volume
Premium service tier with Before 10 AM / Before 1 PM time-specific delivery
Fix Day delivery: scheduled delivery on a specific date
Part Load customs clearance with DDP and DAP incoterms
Pre-Notice SMS/Email on Part Load shipments
Trigger Pallet Option for French customers
Mandatory parcel dimensions for loading-meter calculation: parcel dimensions are required on every label or label creation will fail
How do I track DB Schenker parcels?
DB Schenker tracking includes Pre-Notice SMS/Email events for Part Load shipments alongside standard freight delivery events. Premium services (Before 10 AM / Before 1 PM) surface time-specific delivery confirmations in the webhook stream.
All events normalise to Sendcloud's status taxonomy through GET https://panel.sendcloud.sc/api/v2/tracking/{tracking_number}, with the chronological history under statuses and each event mapped to parent_status. Subscribe to the parcel-status-changed webhook for push updates. Reference: Tracking parcels.
How do I create DB Schenker return labels?
DB Schenker returns can leverage Part Load with customs clearance (DDP/DAP) for international reverse logistics, alongside the standard Euro Pallet and One Way Pallet methods. Specific return availability depends on your contract.
All return labels are created through Sendcloud's standalone v3 Returns API (synchronous or asynchronous; async is recommended for higher throughput). No outgoing parcel lookup or JWT tokens are required. Reference: Returns API overview.
How does Sendcloud's multi-carrier API compare to connecting carriers individually?
The Sendcloud REST API gives you access to 170+ carriers, including DB Schenker, through one credential set, one schema, one webhook stream, and one error model. Connecting carriers individually means handling separate authentication, payload formats, and tracking systems for each, and redoing the work every time a carrier ships breaking changes upstream.
With Sendcloud, you ship DB Schenker alongside FedEx, UPS, Dachser, and DHL Freight, or any other carrier in your account using the same code. Route shipments between carriers based on rules (weight, destination, service level, cost) without writing carrier-specific routing logic. Fall back to alternative carriers automatically if DB Schenker's upstream system has issues.
Adding a new carrier later means adding it to your Sendcloud account, not building a new integration.
