Zenda Envíos Correo Argentino for WooCommerce

Description

Zenda connects your WooCommerce store to Correo Argentino, the Argentine postal service, so the shipping cost your customer sees is the real one. Rates are calculated at checkout against the MiCorreo API, using the destination postcode and the weight and dimensions of the cart.

No more flat rates that lose you money on long-distance orders, and no more cost tables you have to update by hand every time the carrier changes its prices.

The plugin interface is in Spanish, since Correo Argentino only ships within Argentina and the plugin is aimed at Argentine merchants.

Not affiliated with Correo Argentino

Zenda is a product of AD Webs. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Correo Argentino S.A. or Automattic Inc. “Correo Argentino”, “MiCorreo”, “Paq.Ar”, “WooCommerce” and “WordPress” are trademarks of their respective owners, used here only to describe which services this plugin integrates with. “Zenda” is our own name for the integration, not the carrier’s.

What it does

• Real-time rates. Queries the MiCorreo API with the postcode, weight and dimensions of the order. The customer sees the exact price before paying.
• Home delivery and branch pickup. Offer either one, or both, at different prices.
• Branch picker at checkout. Over 2,000 Correo Argentino branches, filtered by province and searchable. The chosen branch is stored with the order.
• Clásico and Expreso services, with the estimated delivery times reported by Correo Argentino.
• Setup wizard that walks you through the credentials and verifies the connection before you go live.
• Built-in diagnostics that catch the usual problems: wrong credentials, a shipping method that was never added to a zone, products with no weight set.
• HPOS compatible (High-Performance Order Storage).

Everything above is available to everyone, with no key to enter, no account to open with us, and nothing that expires.

Which checkout you need

Zenda renders its branch picker on the WooCommerce classic checkout (the shortcode one). If your store uses the block checkout, home delivery rates are still calculated normally, but the picker is not rendered there — so the plugin hides the branch pickup option rather than offering a shipping method the customer could not complete, and tells you so in the admin.

What you need

A MiCorreo account (Correo Argentino’s service for small businesses and sole traders). It is free and you open it on the Correo Argentino website. The plugin also supports Paq.Ar accounts, for customers with a commercial agreement, with a configurable rate.

Zenda Pro

Everything Zenda does happens before the sale: quoting and choosing a branch. What comes after the sale — creating the shipment, labels, tracking, buyer notifications — is a separate paid plugin, Zenda Pro, distributed from our own site. None of its code is in this package.

External services

This plugin connects to the Correo Argentino API to quote shipments and to fetch the list of branches. It is a third-party service and it is essential for the plugin to work: without that connection there is no way to calculate a real rate.

Service: Correo Argentino API (MiCorreo and Paq.Ar)
Endpoints: https://api.correoargentino.com.ar (production) and https://apitest.correoargentino.com.ar (test environment, only if you enable sandbox mode)

What is sent, and when:

• When quoting a shipment (when a customer reaches the cart or the checkout with an address filled in): the origin postcode configured in the plugin, the destination postcode, and the weight and dimensions of the order. The customer’s name, email, phone and full address are not sent.
• When obtaining an access token (the first time, and whenever the token expires): a public application credential that Correo Argentino publishes for WooCommerce integrations. No data of yours or your customers’ is sent in this step.
• When resolving your customer ID (only if you save your MiCorreo credentials without having filled in the ID): the email and password of your MiCorreo account, so that Correo Argentino returns your customer number. You can avoid this step by entering the ID by hand.
• When syncing branches (manually from the admin, or the first time the picker is opened): your customer ID and, optionally, the province code. No customer data is sent. If you have not configured the ID, the plugin does not sync: it does not fall back to any third-party account.

Data is transmitted over HTTPS and the plugin does not store it outside your own database.
