VibeFox Canada Post for Adobe Commerce

Overview

VibeFox Canada Post adds a Canada Post shipping method to Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce. Customers see one Canada Post price at the shipping step of checkout: a live rate from the Canada Post Rating API for their address and parcel weight, or your fixed price per country and cart weight.

It suits Canadian stores that ship parcels within Canada, to the USA and abroad. The module calculates shipping rates at checkout. It does not create shipments, print labels, track parcels or let customers choose a post office, and it shows one Canada Post service, not several at once.

Key features

Live Canada Post rates: prices from the Canada Post Rating API for Canada (postal code), the USA (ZIP code) and all other countries. Fixed prices are used when the API gives no rate.

Service per destination: choose the service for Canada (Regular Parcel, Expedited Parcel, Xpresspost, Priority), for the USA and for international parcels, or Cheapest available. The service is saved with the order and shown on the admin order page.

Your account rates: with your customer number Canada Post returns the commercial (discounted) rates of your account; without it, retail rates. Sandbox mode for testing.

Currency and taxes: Canada Post prices in CAD are converted to your base currency with your rate when the base currency is not CAD. Magento shows the price in the customer's currency. Optionally use prices without GST/HST/PST, so tax is not charged twice when your store taxes shipping.

Correct parcel weight: product weights are converted from the weight unit of your store, with a default weight for products without one. Rates are cached for 1 hour and failed requests for 10 minutes.

Fixed prices: a table per country with prices by cart weight (XS to XL) and a base price, per order or per item. Works without Canada Post API keys.

Shipping rules: minimum and maximum cart weight, minimum order amount, free shipping from an order amount, and the countries you ship to. Magento cart price rules with free shipping work as usual.

Standard Magento settings: all settings are on the standard Delivery Methods configuration page, with sections for the Canada Post API, fixed prices, conditions and advanced options, settings per website, an encrypted API password and a debug log viewer without API keys or customer postal codes.

Requirements

Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce 2.4.6 to 2.4.9 (your own server or Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure; not Adobe Commerce as a Cloud Service), PHP 8.1 to 8.4. Live rates need an API key from the Canada Post Developer Program. Fixed prices work without one. A VibeFox license key from vibefox.net (one key per domain).
