Description
Why do you require this extension:
Many sellers provide international delivery, even more sellers definitely operate and deliver in their native and bordering countries, but also there are cases when the businesses can't deliver farther than their city or even need to limit the shipping distances to some kilometers (miles).
Food delivery services are good example. Many similar services start cooking and then ship hot food right after accepting orders to multiple addresses, often they can't ship to the other cities or even to the outlying areas of their city due to time and other restrictions.
So this solution can be required by anyone who provides services locally and cherish their time. In turn, it is a good way for the customers to find out fast if the order can be delivered to their particular area.
The shipping distance meter extension is going to improve ordering process, enhance customer shopping experience, and save time for every party that using it.
How it works:
- The settings can be found at: System -> Configuration -> Shipping Distance Meter;
- There you can set up the Shipping max distance, your original Address (it is a start point for calculating shipping distances), and Mode (depending on the transportation method, you will be offered to select driving, walking and bicycling ways of delivery);
- At the checkout on the shipping address selection step the customer's addresses will be validated if they are eligible for shipping; no more actions will be allowed if the address is outside of the allowed delivery area.
Extension features include:
- Possibility to limit the delivery distances to any desirable value (in meters)
- Possibility to specify delivery modes (driving, walking and bicycling) what will define the exact destination more precisely
- Customers not be able to complete checkout process only in case they have valid addresses
- Easy localization with the language file
- Takes just two minutes to install the script
- 100% open source e-commerce plugin
- Meets best Magento development practices
- 6-month free updates
