DB Global Logistics - North America Integration

DB Global Logistics has integrations for North American and Australian fulfillment centers. Order Desk can connect to both DB Global Logistics integrations to send your orders for fulfillment. 

Note: Each DB Global Logistics integration needs its own connection and individual setup depending which location will be doing the fulfillment. Make sure you connect to one or both of the versions of DB Global Logistics you need. This guide covers only DB Global North America, as the Australian fulfillment center may have slightly different settings.

Setup

To connect to DB Global Logistics, click on the Manage Integrations link in the left sidebar and under the Fulfillment tab find and enable the DB Global Logistics North America. If you need both activated, go through this process for each version of the integration. 

Alternatively, search for DB Global Logistics from the available integrations and choose the North America option.
