VibeFox Balikobot for WooCommerce

Overview

VibeFox Balikobot adds a Balikobot shipping method to WooCommerce. Balikobot is a Czech shipping aggregator: one API account for Česká pošta, Zásilkovna, PPL, DPD, GLS, DHL, Slovenská pošta and other carriers. The method uses one Balikobot carrier and one service type that you choose, with a fixed price per country or a live Balikobot rate, and an optional pickup point selection at checkout.

It suits shops in Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary that ship through Balikobot. The plugin calculates rates and saves the chosen pickup point in the order. It does not create Balikobot shipments, print labels, order pickups, track parcels, show a map of pickup points or use several carriers at once.

Key features

Three pricing modes: fixed prices per country (no Balikobot account needed), live rates from the Balikobot "transportcosts" API, or live rates that fall back to fixed prices when the API fails.

Many carriers: Česká pošta, Zásilkovna (Packeta), PPL, DPD, GLS, DHL Express, UPS, Slovenská pošta, Magyar Posta and more, with the service code of your choice.

Pickup point selection: the customer chooses a pickup point near the shipping address, in the classic checkout and in the block checkout. The choice is required and checked on the server.

Pickup point in the order: shown with its Balikobot ID in the admin order screen (can be changed there), on the customer's order page and in order e-mails.

Safe currency handling: live prices in CZK or another currency are converted with your exchange rate, or not used without it.

Fast checkout: live prices are cached for 1 hour, pickup points for 12 hours and API failures for 5 minutes. API errors never break the checkout.

Shipping rules: minimum and maximum cart weight, minimum order amount, excluded shipping classes, free shipping from an amount, per-order or per-item fixed prices, tax status, work without shipping zones.

Modern WooCommerce: classic checkout, Cart and Checkout blocks, HPOS. Czech translation included.

Requirements

WordPress 5.8 or later, WooCommerce 7.0 or later, PHP 8.0 or later. Live rates and pickup points need a Balikobot account with API access. Fixed prices work without one. A VibeFox license key from vibefox.net (one key per domain).
