Commerce Shipping Pickup API

Provides the framework for shipping methods for pickup services and parcel machines.

This module only provides the framework. In order to use actual pickup service operators, install at least one dependent pickup service module (usually named Commerce Shipping Pickup Some-Service-Name).

Development of submodules

The framework supports both a simpler list of pickup points for the user to choose from or an embedded control that allows the user to pick a point with better UI experience (usually a map-based selector).

The framework has a demo submodule that shows a very simple sample provider with two pickup points to choose from. The documentation (both the README and comments in the source code) describe the steps necessary to make a submodule.

Submodule developers are encouraged to examine existing projects for more complex solutions:

• single method, regularly downloaded and cached pickup point list: commerce_shipping_pickup_foxpost
• two methods, regularly downloaded and cached pickup point list: commerce_shipping_pickup_hupost
• embedded online selector: commerce_shipping_pickup_pickpackpont, commerce_shipping_pickup_gls_csomagpont

I'm also available for sponsored development of similar submodules of other pickup service providers for interested parties.
