Drusoft Shipping for Econt

1.0.14

• Fixed: on shops that tax shipping, WooCommerce added its VAT on top of Econt’s price, which already contains VAT, so the customer paid the tax twice. The plugin now hands WooCommerce the net part of Econt’s amount; the customer sees exactly what Econt bills.

1.0.13

• Fixed: shops whose Econt store profile bills the courier fee to the sender were charging the customer 0.00 for delivery on every order — Econt’s reply says the recipient owes the courier nothing, and the plugin read that as “free”. The customer is now charged Econt’s price at checkout and the waybill collects it with the order. A new setting keeps the old behaviour for shops that want to give Econt delivery away.
• Added: fallback prices (to address, to office, to automat, per kg above 3 kg). When Econt cannot be asked for a price, the delivery is charged from this table instead of 0.00, the order carries a note with Econt’s answer, and the checkout re-asks Econt when the order is placed. A cleared field means the default.
• Improved: when Econt stops answering (timeout, refused connection), quotes pause for two minutes and the table prices the checkout meanwhile, so a dead API does not hold the checkout on every keystroke.

1.0.12

• Important fix: an order could be placed with no delivery charge at all. The live price request to Econt sent the postcode exactly as typed, so a customer who chose гр. София and typed the postcode of the village she lives in was refused a quote (“mismatch between city and postcode”), the refusal was silently dropped, and the order went through with 0.00 shipping. Econt is now always asked with the chosen city’s own postcode, so a typed postcode can no longer break the quote.
• The postcode field is locked while Econt is the chosen courier: it fills itself from the selected city, the same way the cart page already did it.
• If Econt refuses to quote a delivery (wrong input, a cash-on-delivery amount above the legal limit, an outage), the reason is now shown under the Econt fields instead of leaving the price blank with no explanation.
• Last line of defence: when the order is placed with no price in hand, or with a different basket than the one that was quoted, the plugin asks Econt once more before the order is created. Only if that also fails does the order go through unpriced — and the order note now records Econt’s actual reply.
• Every refused price request is written to WooCommerce → Status → Logs (source “drusoft-shipping-for-econt”), with the selection it was made for.
• A product with no weight and an empty default weight was quoted as 0 kg, which Econt refuses; 0.5 kg is used instead.
• The postcode the customer typed is kept on the order (hidden meta) even though the stored address is normalised to the city’s postcode.

1.0.11

• Important fix for shops whose Econt store bills the courier fee to the recipient: on cash-on-delivery orders the shipping charged at checkout was also folded into the COD amount, so the customer paid the delivery twice — once inside the COD and once as Econt’s own courier fee at the door (29.99 goods + 5.11 shipping became a 35.10 COD, and Econt added 5.28 on top). Who pays the courier is set in your Достави с Еконт store profile, not in the plugin, so the plugin now asks Econt at waybill time: when the recipient pays, the COD carries the goods only; when the shop pays, the COD still includes the shipping, exactly as before. Introduced in 1.0.9 — if your store bills the recipient and you ship COD, please update.
• New: every COD waybill now leaves an order note saying what the COD amount contains and who pays the courier, so the decision is visible before the parcel leaves.

1.0.10

• New (off by default): “Sizes on the Waybill” — adds each product’s dimensions (L×W×H cm, from its Shipping tab) to the shipment description, so the size is visible on the waybill and in the Econt office. Достави с Еконт has no dimension fields of its own, and Econt prices standard parcels by weight alone, so this is informational and changes no price.
• New (off by default): “Oversize Pricing” — parcels with a side of 100 cm or more may be priced by Econt on its cargo tariff, which the standard quote cannot see (measured: a 0.7 kg parcel costs the same in a 20×15×5 and a 90×90×90 cm box, while from a length of 100 cm the price grows with the size — up to several times more). When enabled, the checkout price for such parcels is corrected by the size effect Econt’s label API reports for the product dimensions; who pays the delivery is preserved. Parcels under 100 cm are never touched, and if Econt does not answer the price stays as before. Requires the sender address or office in the settings.
• New: the order screen marks parcels with a side of 100 cm or more, which Econt may charge on its cargo tariff, so the delivery cost can be checked before handing the parcel over. It stays quiet when “Oversize Pricing” already priced exactly those items at checkout, and shows whenever that did not happen — option off, the shop pays delivery, Econt did not answer, or the order was entered or changed in the admin. When the option is off it also points to it.
• Fixed: after cancelling a shipment (or a failed action) the Econt box on the order screen redrew its buttons in English on non-English admins.
• Improved: the Bulgarian translation now covers every admin string (pickup points, refresh status, inspection before payment, dimensions).

1.0.9

• New: when an order is placed but the delivery price could not be calculated (Econt did not answer), the order is still accepted — you should not lose the sale — and an order note now tells you so, with the chosen office, so you see it in the order history before shipping. Previously such an order arrived with a 0.00 shipping line and nothing explaining why.
• New: the daily refresh of offices and cities now makes sure it is scheduled on every normal page load, not only when the plugin is activated or its settings are saved from the admin screen. Shops set up with wp-cli or with settings written programmatically had no refresh at all and were quietly serving weeks-old office lists.
• New: the settings screen shows when offices and cities were last refreshed from Econt and when the next refresh is due, and warns if it is more than three days old.
