What it does
Flat shipping rates rarely match real delivery costs. A customer across town pays the same as one hundreds of miles away, so you either overcharge nearby buyers or absorb the cost of long trips. This plugin solves that by measuring the distance between your store or warehouse and the delivery address, then applying the rates you set for that distance. It works inside WooCommerce, which it requires, and fits stores that ship locally, regionally or across larger areas.
Setup happens in a settings panel, and no coding is needed. You build shipping rules and combine distance with other conditions such as location, order weight, cart total or product categories. Zones can carry their own distance thresholds, and you can pick from different distance measurement units. Rates are calculated at checkout, so customers see the shipping cost for their address before they pay. The plugin can also run alongside other shipping methods and plugins if you want to mix approaches.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores offering local or regional delivery
- Shops whose delivery costs grow with distance
- Agencies setting up custom shipping for client stores
