Overview
Back to topShipping plays a vital role in any Ecommerce store until the customer receives their products hands-on. That's how shipping is powerful enough to make or break your business in multiple ways. Depending on business type, shipping charges may vary according to product type, height, weight, and distance. Default Magento 2 comes with some built-in shipping methods like Flat rate that allows you to set fixed shipping rates regardless of product weight, size, and length. But charging your customers with the fixed shipping rate makes them feel unfair if your customer is not far from your nearby store or warehouse. To reduce cart abandonment & to turn your customer into a happy returning customer, you need to make use of distance-based shipping method that allows you to charge your customer based on distance from their nearby warehouse/store/inventory.
Distance Based Shipping Extension for Magento 2 by MageComp allows the store owner to charge shipping based on distance from their warehouse to the customer’s location. The extension uses the Official Google Map API for calculating distance & shipping from the warehouse to the destination. Using backend options, the admin can set distance unit and shipping charges as per need. Also, the admin can set the minimum and maximum order amount to enable distance shipping method in the store frontend. The extension comes with a backend grid to manage different store warehouse.
Account & Pricing:
Note: Google Map API is not Free, depending on your business needs, you can purchase a plan from Google.
To make use of this extension, you need to have the Google Map API Key. If you don't have a Google account, you can create a new one and signup for API. To start using the extension, enter your Google Map API credentials into store backend for connecting your Magento 2.x store with Google Map services.
