About this plugin
Glizano Checkout Latino for WooCommerce replaces free-text city inputs in the WooCommerce checkout with fast, local chained dropdowns for Costa Rica, Colombia and Mexico, and adds an optional tax or national identification field validated for each country’s official format.
Key Features
- Chained location lists by country:
- Costa Rica (CR): 7 provinces (provincias), 84 cantons (cantones) and 494 districts (distritos), sorted alphabetically.
- Colombia (CO): 32 departments plus Bogota D.C. (33 departments in total) and 1,122 official municipalities (municipios).
- Mexico (MX): 32 federal entities (estados) and 2,476 official municipalities and boroughs (municipios y alcaldias).
- Optional identification field with format validation:
- Costa Rica: Cedula fisica (9 digits), Cedula juridica or NITE (10 digits), and DIMEX (11 to 12 digits).
- Colombia: Cedula de ciudadania or extranjeria (6 to 10 digits) and NIT (8 to 10 digits with optional check digit -D ).
- Mexico: RFC for individuals (13 characters) or companies (12 characters) with valid YYMMDD calendar date verification.
- 100% local, fast and privacy-friendly:
- Runs completely inside your WordPress installation. There are no external services, no remote API calls, and no customer data ever leaves your store.
- The identification number and the Costa Rica district are stored only on the WooCommerce order metadata (compatible with High-Performance Order Storage, HPOS), alongside the rest of the shipping and billing address fields.
- When a shopper selects any country other than Costa Rica, Colombia or Mexico, standard WooCommerce checkout fields remain unchanged.
