Limitations
- We do not recommend this approach for calculating delivery charges. Instead, you can use zipcode-based delivery charges, which provide a more accurate and reliable solution.
- Why we do not recommended this option: On the checkout page, customers can change the delivery address due to a Shopify limitation, which may cause a mismatch in delivery charges.
For example, a customer may validate a 5 KM postcode in the widget and proceed to checkout, but then change the postcode to one within a 10 KM range. In such cases, the delivery charges may still reflect the 5 KM rate.
Setup distance base charges
Inside GAF - Store Pickup & Delivery APP click Settings -> Local Delivery
Please scroll down to the Distance validation section. Select the "Delivery max driving distance" option. Also, Add the required Google Map API Key
Select whether the driving route should avoid highways, tolls, or ferries.
Select the route options:
- The fastest route will assess traffic conditions and select the fastest route at the time of entering the address.
- The shortest route will always select the shortest possible route.
Once you configure it, Click Save!
The distance is the actual driving distance from your store location to the customer's address.
Add Max driving distance in locations
Go to Locations, Add or Edit existing location
Inside Local Delivery section. you can see the Max Distance field, enter a distance in KM
Once you configure it, Click Save!
Set Max distance in all of the locations that offer local delivery.
For example
For example
- Location ABC has 5 KM distance
- Location XYZ has 10 KM distance
If you need the same location to support multiple distance ranges (e.g., 5 KM and 10 KM), you can duplicate the location and configure each:
- One with a 5 KM limit
- Another with a 10 KM limit
