Description
Not a replacement for German Market or WCML. This free bridge plugin fixes two real-world issues when you run German Market DHL (Home Delivery, Packstation, Parcelshops) together with WCML multi-currency.
WCML multi-currency fix
German Market stores DHL free-shipping and minimum-order thresholds in your shop base currency (for example EUR). WCML converts product prices, but not custom German Market DHL shipping methods. Without this fix, a cart of 75 PLN can incorrectly unlock free shipping when your threshold is 75 EUR.
- Free-shipping thresholds — converts
free_min_amountandminimum_amountwith WCML before comparing cart totals - Flat DHL rates — converts zone costs (for example 5.00 EUR / 15.00 EUR) to the active storefront currency
- Any WCML currency and any shipping zone where the supported DHL methods are configured
International address fix
German Market splits address line 1 using a Germany-style pattern (street before number). For EU cross-border DHL labels, number-first addresses (for example France: 12 Rue Example) can produce an empty street in the DHL API.
- Bidirectional parsing — number-first and street-first formats for checkout and DHL label creation
Requirements (not included)
- WooCommerce
- German Market with the DHL shipping add-on
- WCML multi-currency enabled
Settings
WooCommerce GM DHL WCML Fix — enable threshold conversion, shipping-cost conversion, and address parsing independently.
Supported DHL method IDs
dhl_home_delivery, `dhl_packstation`, `dhl_parcelshops`
Configure thresholds and costs in German Market in your shop base currency as usual — this plugin converts them on the storefront. Does not add DHL or multi-currency functionality. Does not support DPD or other German Market carriers.

FAQ
-
Is this a standalone DHL or multi-currency plugin?
-
No. It is a compatibility fix for shops that already use German Market DHL and WCML multi-currency. Neither plugin is included.
-
Why is free shipping wrong without this plugin?
-
German Market compares EUR thresholds directly to the cart total in the active currency (for example 75 PLN treated as 75 EUR). This plugin converts the threshold with WCML first.
-
Why are shipping costs shown as 5.00 in PLN instead of a converted amount?
-
WCML auto-converts WooCommerce core methods (Flat Rate, Free Shipping) but not German Market DHL. Enable Convert DHL shipping costs in the plugin settings.
-
Does it work with any currency WCML supports?
-
Yes — any currency configured in WCML with exchange rates. The shop base currency is read from WooCommerce settings.
-
Does it work with multiple shipping zones?
-
Yes. Each zone instance keeps its own DHL cost and thresholds; the fix applies per rate at checkout.
-
Why do French or other EU addresses fail on DHL labels?
-
German Market expects street-before-number formatting. Number-first addresses can leave the street field empty in the DHL API. The address fix normalizes both formats for label creation.
-
Is there a Pro version?
-
No. This plugin is 100% free (GPL). Download on WordPress.org or from our plugin directory.
-
Is the admin interface translated?
-
The plugin UI is English by default. A German (de_DE) language pack is bundled. Other locales: Loco Translate or GlotPress.
