About this plugin
PizzaPilot helps local pizzerias manage delivery and collection orders through WooCommerce with time slot-based scheduling.
Features:
- Time Slot Ordering — Auto-generated 30-minute delivery slots for today, shown at checkout
- Delivery Radius Checker — Validates customer postcodes against your delivery area using postcodes.io (UK postcodes, free, no API key)
- Kitchen Order View — Admin dashboard showing today’s orders grouped by time slot with completion toggles
- WooCommerce Integration — Works with both classic and block checkout, supports HPOS
- Delivery & Collection — Customers choose delivery or collection at checkout; out-of-range postcodes fall back to collection only
PizzaPilot uses the WooCommerce Additional Checkout Fields API for seamless integration with the checkout flow.
PizzaPilot Pro extends the free version with future date ordering, slot capacity limits, recurring slot templates, interactive Mapbox delivery maps with What3Words, drag-and-drop kitchen UI, and more. Learn more.
External Services
io, a free UK postcode lookup service run by Ideal Postcodes, to convert UK postcodes into geographic coordinates. This is required to calculate the distance between your store and a customer’s address, which is how the delivery radius check works.
What is sent, and when:
- A single UK postcode is sent to https://api.postcodes.io/postcodes/{postcode} each time a delivery radius check runs. No other customer data (name, address, email, order contents) is transmitted.
- This happens when a customer enters a postcode at checkout, when a customer uses the Delivery Postcode Checker block, and when your configured store postcode is looked up for the distance calculation.
- Results are cached in WordPress transients so that repeat lookups of the same postcode do not re-contact the service.
No API key or account is required, and the plugin sends no data to the service unless a postcode check is actually performed.
