      1. Before your start

      Checkout is an additional module by ShippyPro that allows your customer to autonomously choose the best Carrier rate and a potential Drop Off Point by choosing it from the available map.

      Please, be aware that this module might require some effort on your part as the setup process is not automatic.

      Moreover, remember that this tool is only available for a specific number of Marketplaces and Carriers, visit the list in this article or check out the Comparison Map.

       

       

      2. Benefits of using Checkout

      Integrating drop–off points (PUDO and lockers) into the checkout process via module or API will help you:

      • Reduce storage costs: With nearly a 100% first delivery attempt, you erase extra costs applied by Carriers for on–hold shipments.

      • Save on integration costs: The IT Team won't need to integrate the pickup service APIs for each Carrier separately.

      • Increase the conversion rate: Offering 24/7 availability, proximity to the workplace, and storage time up to 5+ days. All these benefits reduce shopping cart abandonment rates.

      If applied to the return process, it means more convenient return labels and, once again, increased flexibility for your customers.

       

       

      3. How Checkout works

      Checkout allows you to show the nearest drop–off points for your Carriers. In order for it to work, all prices (as seen in the contract) have to be inserted by visiting Carriers > Edit Prices.

      1. You can decide to customize your map with colors, distances and carriers of your choice.

      2. You can embed it directly to your website by inserting a few strings of code inside your webpage.

      3. Pay per Load module monthly fee is based on how many times your customers load your map at checkout.

      It will not be possible to configure dynamic pricing for the service.

      Example: free shipping over a certain expense

       

      For Shopify Plus & Advanced plans

      Due to the update of Shopify's Checkout, we are currently working on a new version of the module. Please note that at this time, Checkout is not available for Shopify users on ShippyPro.

      Are my Marketplaces supported?

      The official CMS now available for Checkout are the following:
      Prestashop, Magento, Woocommerce, Storeden.
      Module creation required: development effort needed 

      If you don't use a specific marketplace, you can also use Checkout with APIOrders.

       

      5. Advanced setup

      ⚠️ The setup process outlined below requires a high effort. Therefore, it is recommended only for those with access to a development team capable of creating a custom module.⚠️

      In order to use Checkout with marketplaces such as Prestashop, WooCommerce, Magento, Storeden + APIOrders, you must complete the Advanced Setup explained in the Checkout > Advanced Setup section of the platform. Once you have enabled your domain and successfully integrated the map script into your website, you have 2 options:
       
      • Shipping via API: pass the Point ID in the corresponding CarrierOption field of the Ship call;
      • Shipping via platform: an additional API call, ChoosePoint, is necessary to accurately link the selected drop-off point with the incoming order. This process guarantees that the PUDO Carrier option is automatically pre-selected when creating the shipment, eliminating the need for manual selection.

      API ChoosePoint

       
      Here is an example of the process:
      1. You can implement a callback that allows you to receive and manage the Point information selected by the end customer at checkout;
       
      2. Make a first ChoosePoint call with the information of the selected Point - example:
       
      {
         "Method": "ChoosePoint",
         "Params": {
             "url": "www.........it",
             "point_id": "IT1234",
             "point_name": "IT Cartoleria",
             "point_address": "P.zza Vittorio Veneto 12, 24060, Brusaporto (BG)",
             "courier_name": "BRT",
             "point_type": false,
             "apikey": "1234",
         }
      }
       
       
      3.  You will receive an ID in the response, example:
       
      {
         "id": "1234",
         "Result": "OK"
      }
       
       
      4. Make a second ChoosePoint call, with the previously received ID in the ‘selected_id’ parameter + your ‘order_id’ (your internal Transaction ID). This is required to correctly associate the given Point ID with the specific Transaction ID.
       
      {
         "Method": "ChoosePoint",
         "Params": {
             "url": "www.........it",
             "selected_id": "1234",
             "order_id": "001522"
         }
      }

       

      6. Troubleshooting & Errors

       

      • Is access point information transferred from the Marketplace, or does ShippyPro retrieve it from Carrier's online interface?
        If you're using our Check Out Module we'll save the Access Point ID into order details, the PointID is automatically imported in ShippyPro and pre-selected if you choose the same carrier selected by the final customer at checkout.

       

      • How does Checkout pricing work?
        You can include Live Rates at checkout and a Drop Off Point Map with the nearest pickup locations of one or more carriers with separate pricing.

        From the side menù Checkout, access the pricing page to find out more about how the Checkout pricing is calculated.

        To add more loads to your Account go to Checkout > Pricing and Usage and drag the cursor to the amount needed, yes, it is as simple as that!

      • I am unable to display the PUDO locations on the map on my website.(Your domain is not enable)
        The error is related to the domain entered in ShippyPro during the configuration process.
        Check the domain by accessing your store and then proceed again with the configuration steps outlined in this article.

      • I cannot see the PUDO points for any carrier
        Check the carrier credentials in the Carriers page. If you have multiple carriers deselect one carrier at a time from the Maps Setup page to see which one has the wrong credentials

      • We can’t find zip from coordinates
        The error indicates that an imprecise entry has been made in the search bar. Please ensure that you input a specific address along with the correct postal code to facilitate the search for drop-off points.

      • I cannot see the map after implementing the script

        Please check if your browser is blocking the request. Ensure that your website's security settings (CSP) allow the loading of our map.
