This plugin works with selfawb.ro API and provides shipping cost estimation from FAN Courier provider (using their API).
This plugin was made on top of Bitbag Shipping Export abstraction layer, with some modifications.
Also the services provided by FAN Courier are based in Romania, you'll most likely have errors for other regions.
You'll need an account on https://www.selfawb.ro/ and also a contract that will be signed after you make an explicit request to [email protected]. There are many services to choose from, the one you choose must be also selected when defining a shipping gateway at point 4.
