The plugin provides a solution to help administrators set shipping charges according to the distance and duration of delivery. This feature is especially useful for stores that deliver products to customers over a wide range of locations and distances.
By using the Distance Rate Shipping plugin, administrators can create several rules to apply shipping charges based on the distance or duration of the delivery. The plugin utilizes the Google Distance Matrix API to determine the distance or duration between the store and the customer’s location. Based on this information, the plugin applies the appropriate shipping rate according to the established rules.
