The Maps section is used to create, manage, and implement pickup point maps for all supported couriers in your e-shop. Thanks to an intelligent widget, you can offer customers a convenient selection of pickup points directly during the checkout process, which improves conversion and shopping experience.
¶ 1. Where to find maps and how they work
- You manage maps on this page.
- In the list of maps, you see basic details: courier name, country, delivery type from the e-shop, creation date, and actions "Edit" / "Delete".
- All pickup points of selected couriers are displayed and updated according to the latest courier offerings.
-
Click the “New map” button.
-
Select a courier (only those active in the Couriers section and providing pickup points are shown).
-
Fill out the form to create a new map:
- Country: select the country for which the map will be valid.
- Domain: enter your e-shop's domain (e.g., your-eshop.com, without https/www), to verify widget loading.
- Delivery type: name of the courier/delivery method used in the e-shop.
- Allow pickup points with cash on delivery: checkbox; if active, only locations offering cash on delivery are shown on the map.
- Allow pickup points with card payment: checkbox; if active, only locations with card payment options are shown.
- Default coordinates (Latitude/Longitude): center of the map upon opening, defaulted to the country's center.
- Default zoom level (desktop/mobile): numerical zoom level of the map, default is "8".
- Merge with maps: allows merging multiple maps (e.g., SK + CZ or multiple couriers in one country).
- After creating a map, an JS code will be displayed in the admin panel, which you should embed into your e-shop's code (most often in checkout, but it can be on another page).
- The JS code looks like this:
<script src="https://api.fynode.com/points/{TOKEN}/main.js?v=xxxxxxxx" defer></script>
- The widget works with your e-shop's order system – when a customer selects the specified delivery, a map with pickup point selection automatically opens.
- The widget also automatically writes the selected pickup point code into the order data.
¶ 4. Managing and editing maps
- You can “Edit” or “Delete” each map at any time.
- Editing opens an identical form as when creating, allowing you to change parameters or merge maps.
- Deleting removes the map from the list and deactivates its JS widget.
¶ 5. Special options and settings
- Map merging: allows displaying multiple countries or couriers on one map, with main settings taken from the currently open (main) map.
- Map filters: customers can filter pickup points by cash on delivery availability, card payment, countries, or other parameters directly in the map widget.
- Multilingual widget: the language is automatically set according to the country/widget code and can be customized.
- For Shopify, it’s not necessary to insert the JS code manually – after creating a map in Fynode, you receive an external link to install the Shopify plugin and a unique token, which you add in the plugin settings.
- After activating the plugin, customers select pickup points directly after creating an order on the “Thank you page,” and the location code is written into the order details.
- During order fulfillment, you can automate delivery processes, courier selection, and label printing based on pickup point information.
- Customers always have the option to “Change to pickup point/address” in the order – they can select or modify the pickup point as needed.
¶ 8. Best practices and recommendations
- If you operate in multiple countries or with multiple couriers, merge maps for smoother operation of a single widget.
- Always specify the exact domain and delivery type – the JS code works only on that domain and for the specified delivery method.
- Test the widget in all languages and devices (desktop/mobile) to ensure proper map and filter functionality.
Fynode pickup point maps modernize and accelerate the order process in your e-shop. They help eliminate delivery inaccuracies, add flexibility in choosing delivery options, and significantly improve the customer experience during online shopping.
