Installing the Spring GDS PUDO Plugin for WooCommerce 🚚
Verify that the Spring GDS eCommerce Shipping Dashboard plugin is installed and connected to your WooCommerce store.
Step-by-Step Guide
Ensure Prerequisite Plugin Installation
Before installing the Spring GDS PUDO plugin, it's crucial to have the Spring GDS eCommerce Shipping Dashboard plugin already installed and properly connected to your WooCommerce store. This setup is necessary as the PUDO plugin relies on the functionalities provided by the eCommerce Shipping Dashboard plugin to operate correctly.
Install Spring GDS PUDO Plugin
Go to the Plugins section of your WooCommerce dashboard. Locate the Spring GDS PUDO plugin file you downloaded earlier. Select the plugin and click on 'Install Now'. This action will upload and install the plugin into your WooCommerce setup, preparing it for activation.
Activate and Connect Plugin
Once the plugin is installed, activate it through the Plugins section. After activation, navigate to the Spring GDS section in your WooCommerce dashboard. Enter your Spring GDS API key and click 'Connect'. This step is crucial to link your WooCommerce store with the Spring GDS services, enabling the PUDO functionalities.
Configure Shipping Settings
Navigate to the shipping settings in WooCommerce and add a new shipping method named 'Spring Collect'. You can customize this method by renaming it and setting a price. This configuration allows you to offer the Spring Collect service as a shipping option during checkout, providing customers with the ability to select PUDO locations.
Test Checkout Process
Add a product to your cart and proceed to checkout. During checkout, ensure the Spring Collect shipping option is available. Enter an address and select the Spring Collect service. The system should display the nearest PUDO locations for selection. Verify that selecting a location adds it to the order, confirming the plugin is functioning as expected.
