UPCS and Magento: Integration Options

UPCS does not have a Magento extension. If you run Magento and want customers to choose an exact location, the route is a custom integration built on the same two building blocks that power the plugins: the embeddable map and the REST API. The approach below is conceptual. It is not a packaged product, and the build is up to you or your developer.

The conceptual route

1. Get access. Create a partner account, generate an API key and register your store's https address as an allowed origin.
2. Create a session on the server. Your Magento backend calls the UPCS endpoint with the key and the store origin, then passes the short-lived session token to the page. See create a map session.
3. Mount the map on the checkout page. Load the UPCS embed script and call UPCS.mount in a container. See mount the map.
4. Capture the result. Use the onSelect callback to read the code and coordinates, and place them in a hidden field or other order data field of your choice. See read the click response.
5. Optional server check. Resolve or look up codes from your server with the REST endpoints; see server-to-server resolve.

Things to plan for

• Where to store the UPCS code, latitude and longitude on the order, and how to show it in the admin.
• How the session token will be requested without exposing your API key to the browser.
• How you will test: register http://localhost:5173 as an origin for local development.

Alternatives

If your needs fit, a platform with a ready plugin may be simpler: see plugins or custom integration.
