GLS Denmark books Danish and European parcel labels from Zippendo: business, private home, ParcelShop, express, returns, and pick services. The catalog card copy is: Create GLS Denmark labels in Zippendo for business, private, and ParcelShop deliveries across Denmark and Europe. Catalog slug: gls_dk. This page is the GLS connect form. Shared chrome: Carrier credentials. Inventory: Connect a carrier or integration. Walkthrough: Carriers.
You do not pick a sender address on this form. Add addresses under Manage → Addresses. The address is chosen on the shipment or on a shipping rule.

​
Prerequisites

  • A GLS Denmark shipping agreement. Zippendo’s GLS integration is the Denmark Label API (gls_dk), not GLS in another country.
  • Four values GLS issues with that agreement: Login Name, Password, Customer ID, and Contact ID. There is no self-serve API-key screen in Zippendo. Learn more opens gls-group.eu/DK.
  • Permission to create carriers in the organization. Connecting another GLS account is allowed if each connection has its own Carrier name.

Shared fields

These appear on every connect dialog, including GLS.

​
GLS credentials

Carrier Configuration splits into Required Fields and Optional Fields. Password-labelled fields use a password input. Each helper is catalog copy. GLS does not use OAuth or a developer-portal API key. Credentials travel in every Label API request as LoginName, Password, CustomerId, and ContactId.
Leave Sandbox Mode off for live orders. Test credentials on the production host, or live credentials on the test host, fail at send time. Details: Sandbox mode.
