Frequently asked questions
Which store platforms have an official UPCS plugin?
UPCS provides a WordPress/WooCommerce plugin, a PrestaShop module and an OpenCart extension. You can download them from the plugins page on upcs.io.
Is there a UPCS plugin for Shopify?
No, there is no Shopify plugin. The same applies to Wix, Squarespace, Joomla and Drupal.
Is there a UPCS extension for Magento?
No ready-made Magento extension exists. Integration is conceptually possible through the embeddable map and the REST API.
What do I need to run the WordPress plugin?
The WordPress plugin, currently version 1.3.0, needs WordPress 5.8 or newer and PHP 8.0 or newer. WooCommerce is required only if you want the checkout map.
How do I install the UPCS plugin on WordPress?
In your WordPress admin go to Plugins, then Add New, then Upload, and upload the plugin file. Then open Settings and choose UPCS Map.
Where do I enter my API key in WordPress?
Open Settings, then UPCS Map, and enter your API key in the Shared API Key field. The API Base URL is pre-filled and should be left as it is. Use the Test API Connection button to confirm that it works.
Where does the map appear in WooCommerce checkout?
The plugin shows the map after the WooCommerce billing form. Customers pick their location there during checkout.
How do I place a UPCS map on a normal WordPress page?
Use the [upcs_map] shortcode. It accepts the attributes height, for example height="600px", and zoom, for example zoom="6".
Where does the WooCommerce plugin save the UPCS code?
It saves the UPCS code, latitude and longitude as order meta. This keeps the exact location attached to each order.
What are the requirements for the PrestaShop module?
The PrestaShop module, currently version 1.2.0, needs PrestaShop 1.7.7 or newer, and 8.x is supported.
How do I install the PrestaShop module?
In the back office go to Modules, then Module Manager, and choose Upload a module. After uploading, open the module configuration to set it up.
Which settings does the PrestaShop module have?
You configure the API key, the Status, the Display position and the option Link location to order. Together these control where the map appears and whether the location is attached to orders. The widget call is for the Manual position.
Where can I see the UPCS location on a PrestaShop order?
Orders show a UPCS Delivery Location card with the customer's chosen location.
How do I place the PrestaShop map manually?
Use the widget call {widget name='upcsmap'} in your template to place the map at a position you choose.
Which OpenCart versions does the extension support?
The OpenCart extension, currently version 1.1.0, is for OpenCart 4.x.
How do I install the OpenCart extension?
Go to Extensions, then Installer, and upload the extension file. Then enable the module and add it to the Checkout layout under Design, then Layouts.
Does the OpenCart extension store the location with the order?
Yes. The location the customer selects is attached to the order.
Can I use the plugins without a partner account?
The plugins need an API key, and keys are created in the partner panel, so register a partner account on the partner page first. Your first key is created for you when you sign up.
Can I use UPCS on a custom-built site instead of a plugin?
Yes. Your server creates an embed session with the REST API and your page loads the embed script to show the map. The documentation page describes this.
Does the saved location lead to the exact spot the customer picked?
Yes. The plugins save the UPCS code with the order, and opening that code takes the person fulfilling the order to the exact spot the customer chose on the map.
