External Service Usage

This plugin relies on a 3rd party service provided by Eniture Technology to fetch live shipping rates and perform other related functionalities. Please review the following information regarding the usage of this service:

  1. Functionality:

    • This plugin displays live shipping rates of multiple shipping carriers such as UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc., on the cart and checkout pages of your WooCommerce store.
    • To achieve this functionality, the plugin sends cart data and API credentials provided by the user on the connection settings page to Eniture’s Webservices.
  2. Data Transmission:

    • During the live shipping rate calculation process, the plugin sends essential cart information, such as product details, quantities, and shipping destination, to Eniture Webservices. This data is used to accurately quote shipping rates from various carriers.
    • The data transmission occurs during the execution of a specific function within the plugin’s code. Specifically, the request is sent on line 41 of the shipengine-eniture/http/en-curl.php file.
    • Additionally, the same function mentioned above is used to test the API credentials and retrieve the lowest distance between multiple warehouses.
