VibeFox bpost Cubee for Adobe Commerce

Overview

VibeFox bpost Cubee adds a shipping method for bpost parcel lockers (bbox, formerly Cubee) and bpost pickup points in Belgium to Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce. Customers choose the method at the shipping step of checkout, pay your fixed price, search for a pickup point by postal code or city and must choose one before they can continue.

It suits Belgian stores that want to offer parcel locker and pickup point delivery next to home delivery. Prices are the fixed prices you enter. The module does not get live rates from bpost, create shipments, print labels or track parcels, and pickup points are shown as a list, not on a map.

Key features

Pickup point selector: the postal code of the delivery address is searched automatically when the customer chooses the bpost method. The customer can search another postal code or a city and picks a point from the list.

Pickup point required: the shipping step cannot be completed without a pickup point, and only a point from bpost's list for the search is accepted. Magento checks it again on the server.

Two pricing modes: fixed prices per country, or prices by parcel size from the cart weight (S up to 2 kg, M up to 5 kg, L up to 10 kg, XL above), per order or per item.

Pickup point in the order: added to the shipping description that the customer sees in the order e-mails, in their account and on invoices, and shown on the admin order page with a Change button.

Fast checkout: pickup point lists are cached for 6 hours and failed requests for 5 minutes, so a bpost outage does not slow the checkout down.

Shipping rules: minimum and maximum cart weight (default maximum 30 kg), 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. Tax on shipping when your store taxes shipping.

Standard Magento settings: all settings are on the standard Delivery Methods configuration page, with sections for the bpost API, the selector, prices, conditions, free shipping and availability, settings per website, an encrypted passphrase and a debug log viewer. Keys and tokens are never logged.

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. The pickup point selector needs a bpost Shipping Platform account with API keys and an App ID issued by bpost. Without keys the method works with fixed prices only. A VibeFox license key from vibefox.net (one key per domain).
