Portugal VASP Expresso Kios network for WooCommerce

Lets you deliver on the VASP Expresso Kios network of partners. This is not a shipping method but rather an add-on for any WooCommerce shipping method you activate it on.

This is not an official VASP Expresso plugin, but their support was obtained during its development. The VASP logo and brand is copyrighted, belongs to them and is used with their permission.

Features:

• Lets the store client choose a VASP Expresso Kios point for the shipping delivery;
• The VASP Expresso Kios points option can be associated to any zone/method by the store owner;
• This plugin does not create a new WooCommerce Shipping Method and is compatible with methods that can be associated with a zone (WooCommerce 2.6 and above);
• All WooCommerce built-in shipping methods are compatible;

3rd Party Integration:

• Flexible Shipping for WooCommerce;
• Table Rate Shipping for WooCommerce (by BolderElements);
• WooCommerce Advanced Shipping;
• Table Rate Shipping (by WooCommerce);
• Additional compatibility with other plugins can be implemented with costs to be budgeted under contact;

• Use the included automatic install feature on your WordPress admin panel and search for “Portugal VASP Expresso Kios network for WooCommerce”.
• Go to WooCoomerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping zones and for each zone/method you want the VASP Expresso Kios points selection to be activated, set “Yes” on the “VASP Expresso Kios in Portugal” option.
• Mandatory if you want to show the point on a map (using Mapbox – recommended): go to the Mapbox Acess tokens page and get either your default public token or generate a new one, then add it to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping options > VASP Expresso Kios network in Portugal > Mapbox public token.
• Mandatory if you want to show the point on a map (using Google Maps): go to the Google APIs Console and create a project, then go to the Maps Static API documentation website and click on “Get started”, choose “Maps”, select your project and generate a new key, finally add it to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping options > VASP Expresso Kios network in Portugal > Google Maps API Key.

Is this a shipping method?

No! This is an add-on for any method that supports “shipping zones” (WooCommerce >= 2.6).
You need to set the shipping fees using built-in or plugin installed methods and then set “Yes” on the “VASP Expresso Kios in Portugal” option on each zone/method that applies.

Can I change the number of total and near points shown on the website?

Yes! Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping options and tweak the settings as you like.
Always set the total points to a bigger number than the near points, or you’re going to end up with the just the near points.

I need to use this plugin with a shipping method that it’s not compatible. Is it possible?

Maybe. We have the pvkw_get_shipping_methods filter that allows you to add other shipping methods besides the ones that are compatible. Use at your own risk.
For example, if you want to use VASP Expresso Kios points with Flat Rate per State/Country/Region for WooCommerce you would do it like this.

Why isn’t the Mapbox / Google Maps showing up?

You need to get a Mapbox Public Token or a Google Maps API Key, as explained on the installation instructions.

Can I change the map image size?

Yes. Use the pvkw_map_width and pvkw_map_height filters like this.
You can also change the zoom by using the pvkw_map_zoom filter and scale using the pvkw_map_scale filter (1 for regular and 2 for retina).

Is this plugin compatible with the new WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage?

Yes.

I need technical support. Who should I contact, VASP or Webdados?

The development and support is Webdados responsibility.
For free/standard support you should use the support forums at WordPress.org but no answer is guaranteed.
For premium/urgent support or custom developments you should contact Webdados directly. Charges may (and most certainly will) apply.

Where do I report security vulnerabilities found in this plugin?
