Add Custom Pickup Map to Shipping on Woocommerce
-
Good day all
I would like some guidance on how I can add a pickup location map in the form of a custom plugin to be added as an additional shipping method.
This is the map I am looking to add: https://www.paxi.co.za/points
Basically, I need a customer to choose a point on the map and for that pickup location to populate on a field during Checkout on Woocommerce.
I have already created a plugin, but dont know how to integrate the map to the plugin.
I am a bit new to coding but do not prefer using a plugin, I would rather implement this on my own.
Please help!
Thanks

Hello there,
Many thanks for reaching out.
You may wish to consider using a plugin similar to this: https://woocommerce.com/products/local-pickup-plus/ – the reason being is that these sorts of plugins tend to rely on a Google Maps API key.
I hope this helps.

Hi @aleone89 thank you for the swift reply. Is there a way for me to rather make the plugin myself? Reason I prefer a custom made plugin is because I’m using a Paxi map rather than a Google Map.
https://www.paxi.co.za/pointsSo I basically want to embed this map on my website but only once a certain shipping method is selected

Hi @aleone89 thanks for this.
Please advise me on how I can incorporate the map to my plugin? I have already created a plugin but don’t know how to place a map using WordPress hooks.
Basically I need this plugin to be an additional shipping method which offers this map for users to choose the pickup point closest to them

Hi there,
If you have WooCommerce installed on a WordPress.com Business Plan or have a paid WooCommerce extension on a self-hosted site you can open a ticket while logged into your account at:
https://woocommerce.com/my-account/create-a-ticket/
But, if your site is self-hosted and built using the WordPress.org open software, you’ll need to seek assistance from their forums which can be found at:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce
These forums provide support for WordPress.com hosted sites, and our scope of support for the WooCommerce plugin here is limited – the WooCommerce staff should be able to better assist you.
Thanks!
