Delivery Cost By Distance

Delivery Cost By Distance: The final shipping price according to the distance from the store to the customer's place on the checkout.

Delivery Cost by Distance is a CS-Cart add-on that calculates a shipping price based on the distance between the store and the customer's delivery address, shown at checkout. It is built for merchants who need shipping rates that reflect how far an order has to travel rather than a flat fee, letting the admin set charges by distance interval (for example, one rate for 10-20 km and another for 20-50 km) or per mile or kilometre. Distances are measured using the Google Distance Matrix API, from the store's Company Address in the standard CS-Cart edition or from the vendor's location in Multi-Vendor, to the customer's Address and City. It suits store owners who want distance-based delivery pricing that works across both single-store and multi-vendor setups.

The Delivery Cost by Distance add-on for CS-Cart shows the final shipping price according to the distance from the store to the customer's place on the checkout.
