It integrates with the 3DBinPacking API to provide real-time packing simulations directly in your WooCommerce admin panel. Perfect for stores with physical products that need to minimize shipping costs and improve warehouse efficiency. #### Key Features **Automatic Packing Optimization** * Calculates optimal product arrangement in real-time * Supports multiple packaging types: boxes, pallets, crates, containers * Uses 3DBinPacking algorithms considering dimensions and weight * Handles product rotations for better space utilization **Carrier & Packaging Management** * Configure unlimited carriers with custom packing rules * Define packaging stock with dimensions, weight limits, and costs * Set optimization modes: minimize bins, maximize utilization, or lowest cost * Active/inactive status control for carriers and packaging **Order Packing Simulation** * Visual packing results for each order * Shows unpacked items and reasons * Detects logistics changes automatically * Manual or automatic simulation triggers **API Integration** * Secure 3DBinPacking API connection * API credential verification * Error logging and reporting #### How It Works 1. Configure API credentials and carriers 2. Ensure products have dimensions filled 3. Open order and execute packing simulation 4. System calculates optimal packing 5. View results and choose best shipping option #### Requirements * WordPress 6.7 or higher (WordPress 6.8 or higher required for WooCommerce 10.4 and 10.5) * WooCommerce 8.0 or higher (tested up to 10.5) * PHP 8.0 or higher * 3DBinPacking account with API access #### Technical Information * Plugin slug: tdbinpacking * Plugin version: 1.0.1 * Author: smartwebminds * Minimum WordPress version: 6.7 * Minimum WooCommerce version: 8.0 * Maximum WooCommerce version tested: 10.5 * Minimum PHP version: 8.0 ### Security This plugin uses Twig 3 template engine with automatic HTML escaping and prepared statements for all database queries. All user inputs are sanitized and validated. Nonce verification is implemented for all form submissions. ### External services This plugin connects to the 3DBinPacking API (global-api.3dbinpacking.com) to perform packing calculations. The service is used for two purposes: 1. API access verification. Triggered manually by the administrator while saving or verifying API credentials in the plugin settings. Sent data: username, api_key, and technically empty items and bins structures used only to verify access. 2. Packing simulation. Triggered manually or automatically when an order is opened or edited and the packing simulation is executed. Sent data: username, api_key, product dimensions and weight in the items structure, packaging and constraint data in the bins structure, optimization parameters, and technical source metadata including WooCommerce version and plugin version. No customer personal data is sent to the external service.
