Overview
VibeFox CTT adds a CTT (Correios de Portugal) shipping method to Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce with two options: delivery to the customer's address and delivery to a CTT point or parcel locker chosen at checkout. Customers get a price from your price table or a live CTT price.
It suits stores that ship within Portugal, including the Azores and Madeira, or abroad with CTT. The module calculates shipping prices and saves the chosen CTT point with the order. It does not create shipments, print labels, request pickups or provide tracking numbers.
Key features
Price table by destination and size: one row per country, separate rows for the Azores and Madeira (recognised from the Portuguese postcode) and a default row, with a base price and optional prices for parcel sizes XS to XL.
Optional live rates: with CTT API keys, the price is requested from CTT once the customer has entered the full address. The price table is used whenever CTT gives no price.
Delivery to a CTT point: a second option lets the customer search CTT points and parcel lockers by postcode or city in the shipping step. A point from the CTT list must be chosen before the customer can continue.
Point in the order: added to the shipping description of the order, so it appears in order e-mails, in the customer account and on invoices. The admin order page shows the point and lets you change it.
Fast checkout: live prices are cached for 1 hour, CTT point lists for 6 hours and errors for 5 minutes, so the checkout never waits for a failing API.
Shipping rules: minimum and maximum cart weight (30 kg by default), minimum order amount, free shipping from an order amount, per-order or per-item prices, 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 both options, the CTT API, prices, conditions and availability, settings per website, encrypted API keys, configuration notices and a debug log viewer. Shipping tax comes from your Magento tax class when your store taxes shipping.
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 and the CTT point search need a CTT e-commerce account with API keys, an App ID and a Carrier ID. The price table and delivery to the address work without them.
