Project Overview
Uber Direct Plugin is a custom WordPress plugin developed to integrate WooCommerce stores with Uber Direct delivery services. The solution automates delivery operations, calculates real-time shipping rates, and provides a seamless checkout experience with advanced delivery options.
The plugin was designed to handle high-volume e-commerce operations, reduce manual coordination, and improve order fulfillment efficiency through secure API integrations and real-time tracking.
Key Features
- Dynamic shipping rate calculation using Uber Direct Delivery Quotes
- Interactive checkout with Google Maps address picker (location-based delivery)
- Support for ASAP and scheduled deliveries with custom time slots
- Optional tipping system integrated into WooCommerce checkout
- Real-time delivery tracking available for both admins and customers
- Admin dashboard with delivery status, tracking links, and order actions (resend/cancel)
- Webhook integration to automatically update order status when deliveries are completed
- Product-level customization (preparation time and delivery configuration per item)
- Multi-store compatibility and scalable architecture
How It Works
The plugin extends WooCommerce by registering a custom shipping method and enhancing the checkout process with delivery-specific options.
During checkout, it calculates delivery fees in real time by connecting to Uber’s API, using geolocation data and order details. Once the order is placed, the system automatically creates a delivery request and tracks its status through secure API communication.
A webhook system ensures that delivery updates are synchronized with WooCommerce in real time.
Impact
