Hi, I’ve just bought the shipping distance plugin. I’m really sorry but I have no idea how to implement this on the website. I just want these basic rules setting up: 0-25 MILES FREE, 25-50 MILES £30, 50-75 MILES £50, 75-100 MILES £75 100+ MILES £100
Can you please instruct me how? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dan
Hi Dan,
Here the shortcode you need to put in your custom shipping’s “Cost” field:
[costs_table prop="distance" table="0-0|40.2336-30|80.4672-50|120.701-75|160.934-100" key="AIzaSyC4OkGgzRYLc80yEYzuhU7USYFzwXzzzzz" default="100" units="km"]
The most important thing – you need to replace key (i.e.
AIzaSyC4OkGgzRYLc80yEYzuhU7USYFzwXzzzzz) with your own key, you need to get from https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/start#get-a-key – it’s free.Also, as you can see, I’ve replaced miles with distances in kilometers (25 miles = 40.2336 km, 50 miles = 80.4672 km, 75 miles = 120.701 km, 100 miles = 160.934 km). If that’s an issue – I can add miles to our plugin today. This won’t be hard to do.
Hi again, Dan,
Just wanted to let you know that we’ve released new plugin v1.4.0 today, where I’ve added miles (
mi) to the[costs_table]shortcode, so now you can set:[costs_table prop="distance" table="0-0|25-30|50-50|75-75|100-100" key="AIzaSyC4OkGgzRYLc80yEYzuhU7USYFzwXzzzzz" default_distance="100" units="mi"]
Also, I’ve noticed that you may need to enable “Trigger checkout update” option in “WooCommerce > Settings > Custom Shipping Methods”, so that shipping cost is updated immediately if a customer changes his address on the checkout page.
And last note – if you want to show shipping cost only after customer has entered his address, you may want to enable “Hide shipping costs until an address is entered” option in “WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping options”.
