VibeFox GIG Logistics for PrestaShop

Overview

VibeFox GIG Logistics adds a GIG Logistics (GIGL) carrier for courier delivery in Nigeria to PrestaShop. Customers choose GIG Logistics at the shipping step of checkout and pay a live GIG Logistics price for their Nigerian address, a price from your own table, or a fallback cost.

It suits shops in Nigeria that send orders door to door with GIG Logistics. The module calculates shipping prices at checkout. It does not create GIG Logistics shipments, waybills or labels, book pickups, track parcels or let customers choose a service centre.

Key features

Live GIG Logistics prices: with GIG Logistics API credentials, the price for the cart is requested from GIG Logistics for every Nigerian delivery address. A test (dev) API mode is available.

Price table with weight tiers: a base price per country ("*" for any other country) and optional prices for five weight tiers: up to 1, 2, 3 and 5 kg and above 5 kg.

Three price sources in order: live GIG price, then the price table, then a fallback cost. If none gives a price, the carrier is hidden for that cart.

Currency conversion: GIG Logistics returns prices in Nigerian naira (NGN). Shops with another default currency set a conversion rate. Without it, live prices are not used. The price is shown in the customer's cart currency.

Distance-based pricing support: map coordinates of the pickup and delivery addresses are found with OpenStreetMap (Nominatim), or you enter the pickup coordinates yourself.

Nigerian states in one click: the Add Nigerian states button adds the 37 states to PrestaShop and the state field to the Nigerian address form, so the state is sent to GIG Logistics.

Fast checkout: prices are cached for 1 hour, failed requests for 10 minutes, the API token for 30 minutes. API errors never reach the customer.

Shipping rules: minimum and maximum cart weight, minimum subtotal, free shipping from a subtotal, per-order or per-item table prices, carrier tax rule, or a list of countries instead of shipping zones.

Standard PrestaShop carrier: the carrier is created on install and linked to the zone of Nigeria. Zones, customer groups and size limits are managed in Shipping > Carriers as usual.

Requirements

PrestaShop 8.0 to 9.x, PHP 8.0 or later. Live prices need GIG Logistics third-party API credentials (username and password). The price table and fallback cost work without them. A VibeFox license key from vibefox.net (one key per domain).
