External services

ExpressPasts API

This plugin connects to the Pasts ExpressPasts API which is also called Express Mail Customer Information System or EKIS. It is needed for most of the plugin functions – getting terminal or other location lists, creating shipments, getting labels, creating manifests, calling courier. Refer to the Privacy Policy in Latvian or the Privacy Policy in English and the Terms of Use in Latvian.

Esri ArcGIS

The plugin uses the Esri ArcGIS geocoding service (geocode.arcgis.com) to convert a postcode or address into geographic coordinates. This is required to sort and show the parcel lockers and customer service locations closest to the customer.

The postcode or address is sent to the service each time the customer searches for a pickup location or the closest location is calculated, both in the classic checkout and in the WooCommerce Checkout block. No other personal data is sent. Refer to the Esri Terms of Use and the Esri Privacy Statement.

Source code and build process

The WooCommerce Checkout block assets in assets/blocks/ (index.js, post-terminals-block.js, post-terminals-block-frontend.js) are compiled bundles. Their human-readable JavaScript (React/JSX) source is included with the plugin in the src/ directory.

The bundles are built with @wordpress/scripts and @woocommerce/dependency-extraction-webpack-plugin. To rebuild them, run the following from the src/ directory (requires Node.js and npm):

npm install
npm run build

Full build instructions are in src/BUILD.md.
