Location Share on Checkout by PrismaSell

Descripción

Location Share on Checkout by PrismaSell adds customer-approved geolocation to the WooCommerce checkout. Customers can select Share Current Location, approve the browser permission request, and attach browser-reported latitude, longitude, and accuracy to their order.

The plugin supports the WooCommerce Checkout Block and the classic [woocommerce_checkout] page. Store managers can open a server-generated Google Maps link from the WooCommerce order screen to help drivers find rural, incomplete, or hard-to-locate delivery addresses.

No Google Maps API key or external geolocation service is required. Coordinates are requested only after the customer selects the location button and grants browser permission.

How checkout location sharing works

1. The customer selects Share Current Location during checkout.
2. The browser asks the customer for location permission.
3. When permission is granted, the browser returns coordinates and an accuracy value when available.
4. The plugin validates the latitude and longitude before checkout is completed.
5. Valid location data is stored as WooCommerce order metadata.
6. An authorized store user can open a Google Maps link generated from the saved coordinates.

Shared coordinates supplement the billing or shipping address; they do not replace it or prove physical presence.

Useful for delivery workflows

Useful for local delivery, rural or hard-to-find addresses, courier routes, cash-on-delivery orders, scheduled delivery, and driver navigation.

Settings

Open PrismaSell > Location Sharing in the WordPress admin sidebar. The same options are available at WooCommerce > Settings > Location Share, and a Settings link is displayed on the Plugins screen.

Available options include:

• Enable or disable location sharing.
• Make a valid location optional or required.
• Select the field position for the classic checkout.
• Change the section title, button text, and customer-facing description.
• Enable or disable high-accuracy browser requests.
• Set the location request timeout.
• View the detected WooCommerce checkout type.

Location sharing is enabled and optional by default.

Checkout compatibility

Version 1.2.1 supports:

• WooCommerce Checkout Block through the official additional checkout fields API.
• Classic checkout through standard WooCommerce checkout hooks.

On the Checkout Block, the location control appears in the Order information section. If that section was removed from a customized Checkout page, add the WooCommerce Order Information block back in the page editor.

Custom checkout plugins are not guaranteed to work. A custom checkout must preserve either the WooCommerce additional checkout fields integration or the classic checkout hooks used by this plugin.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.5 or newer.
• WooCommerce 8.9 or newer.
• PHP 7.4 or newer.
• An HTTPS checkout page. Browsers normally restrict geolocation on insecure pages.

Privacy

When a customer chooses to share a delivery location, the plugin stores browser-reported latitude, longitude, and accuracy with the WooCommerce order. The customer must approve the browser location request.

Merchants should explain why location data is collected, who can access it, how it is used, and how long it is retained. The plugin adds suggested privacy-policy text under Settings > Privacy and registers WordPress personal-data export and erasure callbacks.

The plugin does not contact Google during checkout. An authorized user may later open a generated Google Maps link from an order, which is then subject to Google’s privacy terms.
