Portugal DPD Pickup and Lockers network for WooCommerce Plugin

Lets you deliver on the DPD Portugal Pickup network of partners or Lockers.

Lets you deliver on the DPD Portugal (former Chronopost and SEUR) Pickup network of partners or Lockers. This is not a shipping method but rather an add-on for any WooCommerce shipping method you activate it on.

This is not an official DPD Portugal plugin, but their support was obtained during its development. The DPD logo and brand is copyrighted, belongs to them and is used with their permission.

Features:

Lets the store client choose a DPD Portugal Pickup point or Locker for the shipping delivery;
The DPD Portugal Pickup points option can be associated to any zone/method by the store owner;
This plugin does not create a new WooCommerce Shipping Method and is compatible with methods that can be associated with a zone (WooCommerce 2.6 and above);
All WooCommerce built-in shipping methods are compatible;

Pro plugins:

Installation

Go to WooCoomerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping zones and for each zone/method you want the DPD Portugal Pickup points selection to be activated, set “Yes” on the “DPD Portugal Pickup” option.
Mandatory if you want to show the point on a map (using Mapbox – recommended): go to the Mapbox Acess tokens page and get either your default public token or genrerate a new one, then add it to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping options > DPD Pickup network in Portugal > Mapbox public token.
Mandatory if you want to show the point on a map (using Google Maps): go to the Google APIs Console and create a project, then go to the Maps Static API documentation website and click on “Get started”, choose “Maps”, select your project and generate a new key, finally add it to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping options > DPD Pickup network in Portugal > Google Maps API Key.

FAQ

Is this plugin compatible with the new WooCommerce Block-Based Checkout?

No. Only our “DPD / Geopost Pickup and Lockers network for WooCommerce” premium plugin is.

Is this a shipping method?

No! This is an add-on for any method that supports “shipping zones” (WooCommerce >= 2.6).
You need to set the shipping fees using built-in or plugin installed methods and then set “Yes” on the “DPD Portugal Pickup” option on each zone/method that applies.

Can I change the number of total and near points shown on the website?

Yes! Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping options and tweak the settings as you like.
Always set the total points to a bigger number than the near points, or you’re going to end up with the just the near points.

I need to use this plugin with a shipping method that it’s not compatible. Is it possible?

Maybe. We have the cppw_get_shipping_methods filter that allows you to add other shipping methods besides the ones that are compatible. Use at your own risk.
For example, if you want to use DPD Pickup Points with Flat Rate per State/Country/Region for WooCommerce you would do it like this.

Why isn’t the Mapbox / Google Maps showing up?

You need to get a Mapbox Public Token or a Google Maps API Key, as explained on the installation instructions.

Can I change the map image size?

Yes. Use the cppw_map_width and cppw_map_height filters like this.
You can also change the zoom by using the cppw_map_zoom filter and scale using the cppw_map_scale filter (1 for regular and 2 for retina).

Can I hide the DPD Lockers from the checkout options?

Yes. Return false to the cppw_hide_lockers filter.

I’m getting the “There are no DPD points in the database” and I can’t get it to work even if I force the update process in the backend. What can I do?

This means your hosting provider is blocking the two ways that we have to update the Pickup points from DPD: webservice on port 7554 and FTP.
You should ask them to unblock HTTP requests to https://webservices.chronopost.pt:7554 and or the FTP functions on PHP.

Is this plugin compatible with the new WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage?

Yes.

I need technical support. Who should I contact, DPD or Webdados?

The development and support is PT Woo Plugins (by Webdados) responsibility.
For free/standard support you should use the support forums at WordPress.org but no answer is guaranteed.
For premium/urgent support or custom developments you should contact Webdados directly. Charges may (and most certainly will) apply.

If you buy our Pro DPD for label issuing plugin, you’ll also get premium support for this plugin.

Where do I report security vulnerabilities found in this plugin?

You can report any security bugs found in the source code of this plugin through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team will assist you with verification, CVE assignment and take care of notifying the developers of this plugin.
