HDWebmobile Local Pickup & Delivery Zones
Postcode-based delivery zone fees, resolved server-side from the shopper’s own address — never accepted from the request.
Overview
HDWebmobile Local Pickup & Delivery Zones lets you add a fee (or a free local-pickup note) for orders shipping to postcodes you choose. There is nothing for a shopper to select at checkout — the matching zone, and its fee, are resolved automatically from their own shipping address.
Several competing delivery-zone and local-pickup plugins computed the matching zone and its fee in client-side JavaScript from a zone list already embedded in the page, then trusted a hidden checkout field carrying either the chosen zone id or the fee amount when the order was placed (CWE-602, Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security). Editing that field let a shopper claim a zone their address didn’t belong to, or submit a lower fee outright. This plugin has no such field to tamper with in the first place: there is no zone-selection field on the checkout form at all. The applicable zone is always looked up from the shipping postcode WooCommerce’s own customer object is currently tracking — never a value read from the request. The fee actually charged is always re-read fresh from the matched zone’s own saved configuration by its id, right before it’s applied — never a number supplied by anything else.
Key Features
- Any number of zones, each matched by exact postcodes or a wildcard prefix (e.g. “9021*”)
- An optional fee per zone, and an optional note shown at checkout (e.g. pickup instructions)
- Works identically on classic and block-based checkout
Limitations
Please read before installing:
- Postcode-based matching only — no city/state or radius-based zones in this version
- One fee per matched zone; the first matching zone wins if postcode patterns overlap
Quick Setup
- Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/hdwebmobile-delivery-zones directory, or install through the Plugins screen directly.
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress. WooCommerce must already be installed and active.
- Go to WooCommerce > HDWebmobile > Delivery Zones to add your zones.
