Pick-up point

This plugin replaces the two previous modules Smart Send Labelgenerator and Smart Send Pickup Shipping.

The plugin implements a number of useful hooks (actions and filters) that can be used to extend the functionality of the plugin:

• woocommerce_smart_send_shipping_shipping_add_rate
  An action that allows 3rd parties to add rates after the Smart Send rate is added.
• woocommerce_shipping_smart_send_shipping_is_available
  A filter that allows 3rd parties to disable a shipping method

• smart_send_tracking_url
