Installation​

Paxon supplies the plugin as a .zip file, which can be installed via the Plugins menu in WordPress:
Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin

Advanced users may install it via Composer using the Paxon repository. A separate manual is available on request.

After installation, the plugin appears in the Plugins menu and must be activated before use.

Once activated, the app becomes available and the following screen will appear:

Config

Configuration​

Go to the Shop API options tab to begin configuration.

  • For a test project, select Test under Shop API environment.
  • For live integration, select Live.
  • Enter the API user provided by Paxon.
  • Enter the API password provided by Paxon.
    (Note: Test and Live require different credentials.)

Click Save changes, then Download settings. The link is now loaded.

Options​

Below is an overview of the available options and their meaning:

Config

Enable connector​

Activates or deactivates the connector.

Synchronise stock​

When enabled, product stock saved in Maya is immediately synced to WooCommerce.

Synchronise product images​

When enabled, product images saved in WooCommerce are also stored in Maya, improving warehouse recognition.

Order language​

Select the language code for orders sent to Paxon.
This determines the language used for transactional emails and BasketPics.
WooCommerce currently supports only one language code by default.

Order type​

Lists order types available in the Maya account.
Only one order type can be linked per webshop.
Consult Paxon for the correct order type.

New order status​

Select the WooCommerce status that marks an order as paid so it can be forwarded to Paxon.
Default: Processing

On hold order status​

Ignore unless instructed otherwise by Paxon.

Recipients’ email addresses​

Enter the email addresses of the webshop or customer service team.
If an order is placed on hold due to an error, these addresses receive a notification.
Separate multiple addresses with commas.

Google Maps API key​

Required if you want to display a map when showing pickup points.
Without it, only a list of pickup points is shown.
Used together with the Mapping tab.

Enable Country Filter​

Enable this if you want to exclude certain countries from Paxon fulfilment.

Config

After configuring the desired options, click Save changes.

Mapping Shipping Methods​

Config

If you want to use checkout options, configure this tab together with Paxon.
This must be done separately for Test and Live, because shipping method IDs differ.

It is important to know that in addition to the Paxon Plugin, you also need to go to your Woocommerce settings and activate Paxon in the shipping methods section.

Config

Queue Options​

The queue contains orders with errors in the order data or shipping address.
The system attempts to resend a queued order 30 times at varying intervals.

Enable the queue by checking Enable job queue and leave the remaining settings as default.

Config

Additional​

To register delivery charges and discounts in Maya, enter the product codes provided by Paxon in:

  • Delivery code
  • Discount code

Barcode attribute​

Select the WooCommerce product field that contains the EAN/barcode.
This ensures the barcode is forwarded to Paxon when new products are added, speeding up goods receipt.

Config

Advanced Options​

Use the default settings unless instructed otherwise.

Config

Consolidate order items​

Must remain enabled.
This ensures multiple quantities of the same product are combined into a single order line in Maya.
Some plugins create duplicate lines, which is inefficient and more costly.

Temporary files dir​

Used only for non-standard hosting setups.

Reinstall​

Reinstalls the plugin from scratch.

Synchronisation of Completed Orders​

When Paxon ships an order, WooCommerce updates the order status to Completed.
(In Dutch shops, this appears as Afgerond.)

Config

The Track & Trace information appears in the order notes.
