Terminal Delivery
Terminal Delivery is an Algerian courier with home delivery, its own stop desks and partner pickup points (shops that hold the parcel for the buyer). The integration needs one value: your store's API token.
What you need
- One value, labelled API Token in the credential modal, issued from your Terminal Delivery account. Terminal authenticates with
Authorization: Token <value>.
If your account has no token yet, ask Terminal Delivery to enable API access.
Linking Terminal Delivery in DZBuild
- Open
/dashboard/link-shippingand find the Terminal Delivery tile. - Click Lier / ربط.
- Paste your API Token in the single credential field.
- Click Tester la connexion (« اختبار الاتصال »). DZBuild calls Terminal live; a wrong token is refused at once.
- Click Lier et enregistrer (« ربط وحفظ »).
Per-wilaya prices are edited on /dashboard/shipping.
What gets synced
- The wilayas Terminal serves.
- Communes per wilaya, with Terminal's own commune ids.
- Home + desk rates per wilaya.
- Stop desks and partner pickup points for the Stop Desk picker.
Rates
Sync rates from provider reads Terminal's delivery options for each wilaya and fills both the home and the desk price. They are the standard (non-express) prices.
Terminal prices per commune, so DZBuild reads each wilaya's centre commune. A wilaya whose centre commune has no price for your store stays at 0; set it by hand on /dashboard/shipping.
Desks and pickup points
Terminal lists two kinds of locations per commune: its own stop desks and partner pickup points. DZBuild lists both in the Stop Desk picker. It reads each wilaya's centre commune first; when a wilaya prices desk delivery but its centre commune lists no location, DZBuild checks up to 15 of that wilaya's other communes.
Desk delivery is offered only in the communes where Terminal listed a stop desk or a pickup point. An order sent to a partner pickup point carries the point's id, so the parcel goes to that shop.
What happens when an order ships
DZBuild posts the order with the customer's name, phone and address, the commune as Terminal's commune id (or the commune and wilaya names when the commune is not in the synced list, Terminal matches them in Latin or Arabic), the delivery type (1 home, 2 stop desk, 3 pickup point), the product list as one product line, your order number as external_id, and total_price. A desk order is sent with the desk's own commune.
Three rules to know:
total_priceincludes delivery. It is the amount the customer pays and it must be at least Terminal's delivery price for that commune, otherwise the order is refused (code 10).- Duplicates are refused for 24 hours. An order with the same customer name and phone as one of your active orders from the last 24 hours is refused (code 55). Correct the phone or wait; do not resend as is.
- No cancellation through the API. Cancel a parcel from your Terminal Delivery account.
Terminal answers with an order id (saved as the tracking) and a tracking number printed on the slip. DZBuild fetches the slip (bordereau) right away; Print label on the order prints it.

Tips
- The connection test works on an account with no shipments yet.
- A new product name creates a product in your Terminal catalog; keep product names stable so Terminal's stock view stays readable. When a name already exists there, DZBuild reuses that product.
- Terminal allows 300 API calls per minute per account; DZBuild waits the seconds Terminal asks for (up to 10) before retrying once.
