To show DHL rates only when customers select shipping in our widget, we recommend integrating DHL in the Rates tab of Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery.
For any questions about the rate value, please contact DHL—we only show the rates they generate.
Integration steps will be slightly different, depending on the Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates version that you're using:
Requirements
You will need to have an active account with DHL.
You will need your DHL account number, username and password.
You need to have the Carrier Service API enabled on your Shopify plan.

All physical products need to be marked as This product requires shipping in Shopify.
