The interface is in Spanish( Chile), ready to be translated at translate.wordpress.org. This plugin is the continuation of “MkRapel Regiones y Ciudades de Chile para WC”( slug `wc-ciudades-y-regiones-de-chile`), which the same author released in 2020 under the Marketing Rapel name. Its last version was 4.3.0 (17.12.2021). Version 5.0.0 is a full rewrite under the Arcadys name; shipping methods and their communes are migrated automatically (see “Upgrading from MkRapel”). Author: Arcadys (Rodrigo Arce Muñoz). Support: soporte@arcadys.cl * The 16 regions of Chile, from Arica y Parinacota to Magallanes, with the names WooCommerce uses. * The 346 communes, with corrected names (La Calera, Quintero, Buin, Panguipulli, Curaco de Vélez, Hualaihué, Cholchol, San Pedro de la Paz, Aysén, Cabo de Hornos, Natales and others). * Classic checkout and My account: the “Comuna” field becomes a searchable list of the communes of the selected region. * Commune validation: an order or address with a commune that does not belong to the region is rejected. Common old spellings are accepted and corrected (for example “Puerto Aysén” becomes “Aysén”). * Postcode hidden for Chile (optional). * “Envío por comuna” shipping method for shipping zones: choose communes, a cost( with WooCommerce formulas, `[qty]`, `[cost]`, `[fee]` and `[free minimo="…" valor ="…"]`), tax status, shipping class costs and “single method” (hides the other rates when it applies). * Optional RUT field (off, optional or required) with check digit validation (módulo 11) and 12.345.678-9 format. It is saved in the order and the customer account and shown in the admin, emails and order details. Works in classic and block checkout. * Compatible with HPOS (custom order tables) and the Cart and Checkout blocks. Settings are in WooCommerce › Ajustes › General › “Regiones y comunas de Chile”. ### Upgrading from MkRapel 1. Deactivate and delete “MkRapel Regiones y Ciudades de Chile para WC” (deleting it does not remove orders or shipping zones). 2. Install and activate Arcadys Regiones de Chile. 3. Open any admin page once. The “Envío por Ciudad CL” methods of your shipping zones become “Envío por comuna”, with the same communes (misspelled names are corrected), costs and options. The old checkout field editor is not included. WooCommerce now has its own way to add checkout fields; the old settings (`wc_fields_billing`, `wc_fields_shipping`,` wc_fields_additional`) are left in the database untouched, in case another plugin uses them. If you used the old RUT field, enable “Campo RUT”; old orders keep showing the RUT they saved. ### Consulta anticipada de entrega Product-page delivery estimate using Arcadys territory rates. Enabled by default for all visitors; an explicitly saved disabled setting is respected. Configure under WooCommerce > Consulta de entrega, including an optional 50/50 session comparison. Arcadys support links are available in this admin screen. Supports simple products, selected variations and quantities. The destination is kept in the WooCommerce session; final cart and checkout shipping is recalculated. Spain requires a postcode. Includes an admin simulator and aggregate pilot counters. No delivery dates or external carrier quotations. See guia-consulta-entrega.md for scope and measurement limitations. ## Installation 1. Install and activate WooCommerce. 2. Upload the `arcadys-regiones-de-chile` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install the plugin from Plugins › Add New. 3. Activate it. 4. Review WooCommerce › Ajustes › General › “Regiones y comunas de Chile”. 5. To charge by commune: WooCommerce › Ajustes › Envío, open or create a zone with Chilean regions and add the “Envío por comuna” method. ## FAQ ### Does it include all the communes of Chile? Yes, the 346 communes grouped by region. Developers can change the list with the` arcadys_rcl_comunas` filter. ### Can the same commune have different prices? Yes. Add several “Envío por comuna” methods to the zone, each with its own communes and cost. The customer sees every method that includes their commune, unless one of them uses “single method”. ### Does it work on multisite? Yes. Activate it on each site that has WooCommerce. When it is deleted from the network, its settings are removed from every site. ### Does it work with the block checkout? Yes. Regions, commune validation, shipping by commune and the RUT field work in the block checkout. There too the city field becomes a list of the communes of the selected region. The RUT field appears when the billing or the shipping address is in Chile. ### How do I offer free shipping above an amount? In the cost of “Envío por comuna”, use `[free minimo="50000" valor="3990"]`: shipping is free when the cart reaches 50,000 and costs 3,990 otherwise. The amount is compared with the cart total the customer sees (with tax when prices are shown with tax). You may write amounts with your store’s thousands separator (for example 50.000), and quotes copied from a word processor (“ ”) are accepted. ### Is the RUT required? Only if you choose “Obligatorio” in “Campo RUT”. It is off by default. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Arcadys Regiones de Chile” is open source software.
