VibeFox Estafeta for Adobe Commerce

Overview

VibeFox Estafeta adds an Estafeta shipping method for Mexico to Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce. Live rates come from the DrEnvio API (drenvio.com, an Estafeta partner in Mexico): the module asks DrEnvio for a quote with the destination postcode and the cart weight and offers the cheapest Estafeta service for that address. Your own prices per country are used when there is no live rate.

It suits Mexican stores that ship with Estafeta through a DrEnvio account, or that want a fixed Estafeta price without an account. The module calculates shipping rates at checkout. It does not create shipments, print labels (guías) or track parcels, does not let the customer choose an Estafeta service or office, and has no automatic exchange rates.

Key features

Live Estafeta rates: DrEnvio quotes several carriers, and only Estafeta rates are used. The cheapest Estafeta service for the address is offered.

Service saved with the order: the Estafeta service, delivery time, price source and calculated price are stored when the order is placed and shown in an Estafeta block on the admin order page.

Your own prices: prices per destination country and a fallback cost, per order or per item, are used when there is no API key or DrEnvio has no Estafeta rate. If neither is set, the method is hidden instead of showing a wrong price.

Safe currency handling: DrEnvio quotes in Mexican pesos. If your base currency is not MXN, you enter the MXN exchange rate. Without it live rates are not used. Magento shows the price in the customer's currency.

Fast checkout: rates are cached for 1 hour and failed requests for 5 minutes, so a slow API never stalls every checkout update. API errors never reach the customer.

Shipping rules: free shipping from a subtotal, minimum subtotal, minimum and maximum weight, and the countries you ship to. Magento cart price rules with free shipping work as usual. Shipping tax follows your store's tax class for shipping.

Standard Magento settings: all settings are on the standard Delivery Methods configuration page, with sections for live rates, prices without a live rate, conditions and countries, settings per website, an encrypted API key and a debug log viewer. The API key and customer addresses are never logged.

Requirements

Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce 2.4.6 to 2.4.9 (your own server or Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure; not Adobe Commerce as a Cloud Service), PHP 8.1 to 8.4 with the cURL extension. Live rates need a DrEnvio account with Estafeta enabled and its API key, and products need weights. Your own prices work without an account. A VibeFox license key from vibefox.net (one key per domain).
