VibeFox SF Express for OpenCart

Overview

VibeFox SF Express adds an SF Express courier shipping method to OpenCart 3 and OpenCart 4. Customers in mainland China can see a live SF Express price for their province and city. Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and international destinations use your price table by country and weight, with a fallback cost.

It suits stores that ship from mainland China with an SF Express monthly account, and stores that want a simple SF Express method with their own prices. The extension calculates shipping prices at checkout. It does not create waybills or labels, create orders in SF Express, book pickups, cancel or track shipments, or let customers choose an SF service point or locker.

Key features

Live prices for mainland China (optional): prices from the SF Express FengQiao open platform for your sender city, the customer's province and city, and the cart weight and volume. Sandbox and production environments.

Choice of product: the cheapest product SF Express offers, SF Express Priority or SF Standard Express.

Chinese provinces: the province is taken from the OpenCart zone of the address. One button adds the provinces OpenCart is missing (Tibet), without changing existing zones.

Currency conversion: SF Express prices are in CNY. With a conversion rate they are converted to your store currency. Without it, live prices are not used and the settings page warns you.

Price table: a base price per country, a row for all other countries, and optional prices for five weight tiers. A fallback cost covers countries without a price.

Per order or per item: table and fallback prices for the whole order or for every item by its own weight. Live prices are always for the whole order.

Fast checkout: prices are cached for an hour and failed requests for 10 minutes. Errors never reach the customer.

Shipping rules: free shipping from a subtotal, minimum subtotal, weight limits, tax class, a geo zone or a list of countries. One Save button without page reload, JSON import and export, and a debug log on the settings page.

OpenCart 3.0.x (tested on 3.0.5.0) or OpenCart 4.0.2 and later (tested on 4.1.0.3), PHP 8.0 or later. One download has the packages for both versions.
