Overview
VibeFox Instabee adds an Instabee / Budbee parcel box shipping method to Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce. Customers see it at the shipping step of checkout with your own fixed price for their country and cart weight, and can choose a parcel box near their postal code.
It suits stores that deliver to Budbee Box parcel lockers in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium. Instabee and Budbee do not publish a rate API, so prices come from your price table. The module does not book shipments, print labels, give tracking numbers or offer Budbee Home delivery slots.
Key features
Prices by country and weight: a price per destination country with optional weight tiers (XS up to 1 kg, S up to 2 kg, M up to 3 kg, L up to 5 kg, XL above 5 kg), a row for all other countries and a price for countries not in the table. Per order or per item.
Parcel box selection: with Budbee API credentials the customer sees the boxes near the postal code of the delivery address, sorted by distance, and can search another postal code.
Checked on the server: the box is required and is checked against the Budbee list when the customer continues from the shipping step and again when the order is placed. The box name always comes from the Budbee list, not from the browser.
Box on the order: the chosen box is added to the shipping description of the order, so the customer sees it in the order in their account and in the order e-mails, and the admin order page shows an Instabee parcel box block.
Fast and safe checkout: box lists are cached (12 hours per postal code, 5 minutes after a failed request). If the Budbee API cannot be reached, the order can still be placed and is flagged so you can choose the box later.
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. Decimal comma or point in all price fields.
Standard Magento settings: all settings are on the standard Delivery Methods configuration page, with sections for the Budbee API, prices, conditions and availability, settings per website, encrypted API credentials and a debug log viewer.
