Frequently asked questions
How do I integrate the DTDC API into my e-commerce website for shipment tracking?
Start by reaching out to your DTDC account manager to get your Customer Code, API Key, and access to their developer portal. Set up in the sandbox environment first, then implement a RESTful HTTP request in your backend to query their tracking endpoint using the AWB or reference number. After that, parse the JSON response to extract delivery statuses and map them to your tracking page or use them to trigger automated customer notifications.
How does the DTDC API compare to the Shiprocket API for tracking and order management?
DTDC is a single-carrier API, so it only manages shipments moving through DTDC's network. Shiprocket is a multi-carrier aggregator that handles 40+ couriers under one integration with more advanced order management features. If you're scaling beyond DTDC or want automated carrier allocation, NDR workflows, and branded tracking, logistics software like ClickPost lets you bring your own DTDC rate card while adding all of that on top.
What features does the DTDC courier API offer for real-time shipment tracking?
The DTDC API covers milestone tracking across stages like Booked, In-Transit, Out for Delivery, and Delivered. It supports queries via AWB or order reference number, webhook-based status push notifications, and delivery authentication data, including proof of delivery flags where applicable.
What are the best alternatives to DTDC API for parcel tracking in India?
For direct carrier APIs, Delhivery and Blue Dart are strong options depending on your volume and shipment value. If you want a multi-carrier layer with post-purchase automation, NDR management, and branded tracking on top, a logistics software that supports multiple carriers is worth exploring.
What is the best logistics API for a mid-size D2C brand in India that uses DTDC as its primary courier?
ClickPost is a solid fit here. It lets you plug in your existing DTDC contract and rate card so you don't lose your negotiated pricing, while giving you a branded tracking portal, automated NDR workflows, and WooCommerce or Shopify integrations that the raw DTDC API doesn't offer out of the box.
Does DTDC API support multi-piece shipment tracking under a single waybill number?
Not natively. DTDC works on a one-AWB-per-box model for standard e-commerce shipments. If an order ships in three boxes, three separate AWB numbers get generated. To show customers a single combined tracking view, you'll need to link all three AWBs to one Order ID on your end.
How does the DTDC API compare to the Delhivery API for cross-border shipments from India to Southeast Asia?
Delhivery has a clear edge for cross-border tech. It handles customs documentation, HS code classification, and maps local Southeast Asian courier updates directly into your dashboard. DTDC's international network is reliable on the ground, but tracking data can lag once the shipment is handed off to a local partner in the destination country.
How does ClickPost's branded tracking portal work with DTDC shipments?
Once a DTDC shipment is created through ClickPost, every status update flows into a branded tracking page that reflects your brand, not the carrier's. Customers get proactive notifications at each milestone and can check live delivery status on their own, which significantly cuts down on inbound support queries.
Can ClickPost manage multi-carrier allocation between DTDC and other Indian carriers?
Yes. ClickPost's AI-based carrier allocation engine evaluates factors like pin code serviceability, delivery speed, and cost to automatically assign the right carrier for each order. If DTDC is your primary carrier, ClickPost routes to them by default but can seamlessly switch to another carrier when DTDC isn't the best fit for a specific shipment.
How does ClickPost's EDD feature work with DTDC's delivery network?
ClickPost's EDD API factors in DTDC's pin-code-level delivery performance data to calculate and display an accurate expected delivery date at checkout. Customers see a realistic delivery window before they place the order, which reduces post-purchase anxiety and brings down the likelihood of a cancellation or return.
