A Drive Delivery Module

Now that we know most of what we need to create standard and payment modules, we must discover how to add a delivery option to PrestaShop programmatically. Here, we will learn how to create a drive delivery module that displays a list of relay points where we can pick up our order, even though anyone can add a carrier with the Back Office (BO) controller responsible for transport management. It will be a great occasion to demonstrate how to create a carrier, handle the delivery price computation, and save and display the chosen relay delivery point for an order.

In creating this module, we will go through the following steps:

• Defining our module design
• Defining a PrestaShop Carrier module
• Creating our module structure
• Creating a WHRelayCart entity to save our chosen relay points
• Creating a Carrier programmatically
• Displaying the relay pickup points list during the checkout
• Handling a relay pickup point choice via an Ajax Front...
