VibeFox SF Express for PrestaShop

Overview

VibeFox SF Express adds an SF Express courier carrier to PrestaShop. 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 shops that ship from mainland China with an SF Express monthly account, and shops that want a simple SF Express carrier with their own prices. The module 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 in one click: PrestaShop has no Chinese provinces by default. One button adds the 32 provinces, regions and municipalities as states of China and the state field to the Chinese address form.

Currency conversion: SF Express prices are in CNY. With a conversion rate they are converted to your shop 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.

Standard PrestaShop carrier: created on install, with free shipping from a subtotal, minimum subtotal, weight limits, carrier tax rule and an option to offer it for a list of countries regardless of zones. 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 an SF Express monthly account and FengQiao API access (customer code and checkword). The price table works without an account. A VibeFox license key from vibefox.net (one key per domain).
