All fields will be dynamically populated with settings that you entered when adding a new shipping method and delivery instructions from your customer. What’s more, weight will also be entered based on your product settings, and liability will be taken from the order total.

Just check if everything is fine. Do some tweaks if needed. When you are ready, click the Create button, and your shipment will create automatically (with your DPD account). Click Get label to print it and fulfil the order.
