About this plugin
In much of West Africa a street address is not how anyone is found. Deliveries
are made to a point on a map, a landmark, a phone call. OuiGoo Delivery asks the
shopper for what a courier actually needs, then hands the order to the OuiGoo
platform without the merchant re-typing anything.
Features:
- Delivery location: a GPS point picked on a map, or address autocomplete.
- A delivery time slot chosen by the shopper.
- Extra instructions — floor, landmark, gate code.
- A shipping method priced from the real coordinates, not from a flat rate.
- Orders sent to OuiGoo in the background, with retries.
- Delivery status pushed back from OuiGoo: the courier’s name, the pickup code,
a timestamped note on the order, and the order marked complete on delivery.
- Sync status visible on the order screen and in the orders list.
Works with both the block checkout and the classic shortcode checkout, and with
High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
A OuiGoo Business account is required. The plugin is the connector; the delivery
service, the couriers and the pricing are OuiGoo’s.
External services
This plugin is a connector: it does nothing without the OuiGoo delivery
platform, which is a third-party service. Installing it means sending data
there. Here is what, and when.

No call is made until you paste your API key into the plugin settings. From
then on, the following is sent:
- When linking the shop, and after that at most once an hour and only if one of
these values changed: your shop’s name, its web address, and the URL OuiGoo
should call back with delivery updates.
- When a rate is calculated, while the shopper is checking out: the delivery
point they just chose, and your pickup point.
- When an address is searched: the text the shopper typed into the location
field.
- When an order is sent: its number, total and line items, along with the
customer’s name, phone number and delivery point.
Nothing is sent for a visitor who does not order, and the plugin sends no usage
statistics of any kind.

Loaded in the shopper’s browser, and only if you chose the “GPS point on a map”
mode and supplied your own Google Maps key. It is then your key and your
agreement with Google that apply. In “address autocomplete” mode nothing is
loaded from Google: searches go through the OuiGoo API instead.
