Adding DX Express Services

The courier service codes for this integration are unique across every DX account so cannot be preconfigured for you. To get started with the above, you can enable the DX Express Test Service on your database by completing the following:
1. Go to Shipping Management
2. Click Couriers
3. Next, click on Show All Couriers
4. Find the DX Express courier
5. Click Edit
6. Turn Active to ON
7. Finally, click Update
8. Run a test shipment for this DX service to reveal the custom services
9. Once done please follow Step: Mapping the services
10. If you cannot find the DX Express courier please complete the following:

Adding a Courier

1. Create a Courier called DX (Shipping Management then Couriers)
2. Then create a Courier Service called DX within the new DX Courier
3. Next, go to Shipping Management then Extras
4. Click Courier Service Codes then Add New Courier Service Code
5. Choose Courier as DX_Express
6. Click Create
7. Next, go to Shipping Management then Extras
8. Click Courier Service Code Mappings then Add New Courier Service Code Mapping
9. Choose CourierServiceId as DX
10. Choose CourierServiceCodeId as DX_Express
11. Then click Map
12. Run a test shipment for this DX service to reveal the custom services:
(Do not be alarmed by the error message: "Specified Service Not Found: BLANK-CODE Services found: ...", this is just a notification that the Courier service codes for the listed custom services have been added to Mintsoft)

Note: Service names are separated by the client name so "xxxxxx xxxxxx Leave Safe, 24 Hour, Leave Safe DX2H, 08:00 - 18:00 xxxxxx xxxxxx Leave Safe, 24 Hour, Leave Safe DX2H, AM Pre 1" becomes:
xxxxxx xxxxxx Leave Safe, 24 Hour, Leave Safe DX2H, 08:00 - 18:00
xxxxxx xxxxxx Leave Safe, 24 Hour, Leave Safe DX2H, AM Pre 1

Mapping the Services

Codes will automatically be written to your database.  These can then be mapped to the service.
1. Go to Shipping Management then Extras
2. Click Courier Service Codes
3. You will see the new DX codes that were added
4. Choose one of the entries in the list for this example I will use -
xxxxxx xxxxxx Signature Box, 24 Hour, Signature, 08:00 - 18:00
5. Go to Shipping Management then Couriers
6. Click DX then add a new service taking off your company name but using the main part of the code -
xxxxxx xxxxxx Signature Box, 24 Hour, Signature, 08:00 - 18:00
7. Go to Shipping Management then Extras
8. Click Courier Service Code Mappings then Add New Courier Service Code Mapping
9. Choose CourierServiceId as the service you just added
10. Choose CourierServiceCodeId as the code that matches that service
