Plugin Functionality
Once the plugin is activated, the customer during checkout has an additional option for the delivery and pickup of their order. The new option will appear as shown in the screenshot below (minor or major differences in appearance depend on the theme you are using).
By selecting “ACS Points”, the customer can choose the ACS Point most convenient for them from a map displaying all available locations.
The user’s selection is recorded in your admin panel and noted on the corresponding order as the chosen shipping method.
After installation, we recommend performing the following checks:
- Order with ACS Points selection: Ensure the order is successfully created and that the selected locker appears in the admin panel.
- Order with standard delivery: Confirm that the order is registered correctly in the admin system.
- Shipping cost calculation at checkout: Verify that shipping costs are calculated correctly for both the ACS Points method and standard delivery.
- Map display check: Ensure that available points (lockers) are displayed correctly on the map and can be selected by the user.
