VibeFox bpost Cubee for PrestaShop

Overview

VibeFox bpost Cubee adds a carrier for bpost parcel lockers (bbox, formerly Cubee) and bpost pickup points in Belgium to PrestaShop. Customers choose the carrier at the shipping step of checkout, pay your fixed price, search for a pickup point by postal code or city and must choose one before they can continue.

It suits Belgian shops that want to offer parcel locker and pickup point delivery next to home delivery. Prices are the fixed prices you enter. The module does not get live rates from bpost, create shipments, print labels or track parcels, and pickup points are shown as a list, not on a map.

Key features

Pickup point selector: the postal code of the delivery address is searched automatically when the customer chooses the carrier. The customer can search another postal code or a city and picks a point from the list.

Pickup point required: the delivery step cannot be completed without a pickup point, and only a point from bpost's list for the search is accepted. Works with the Classic and Hummingbird themes.

Two pricing modes: fixed prices per country, or prices by parcel size from the cart weight (S up to 2 kg, M up to 5 kg, L up to 10 kg, XL above), per order or per item.

Pickup point in the order: shown on the back office order page with a Change button, on the order confirmation page, in the customer's order history and in the order e-mails.

Fast checkout: pickup point lists are cached for 6 hours and failed requests for 5 minutes, so a bpost outage does not slow the checkout down.

Shipping rules: minimum and maximum cart weight (default maximum 30 kg), minimum order amount, free shipping from an order amount, carrier tax rule.

Standard PrestaShop carrier: created on install and linked to the zone of Belgium. Zones and customer groups are managed in Shipping > Carriers, or you can offer the carrier in a list of countries without zones.

Debug log in the back office: view and clear the log on the module page. Keys and tokens are never logged.

Requirements

PrestaShop 8.0 to 9.x, PHP 8.0 or later. The pickup point selector needs a bpost Shipping Platform account with API keys and an App ID issued by bpost. Without keys the carrier works with fixed prices only. A VibeFox license key from vibefox.net (one key per domain).
