Delivery - adding a per mile charge

One of my clients wants an option to do a delivery of their product (fresh live fish) and they would like to have an ability charge a fee per mile from their shop to the destination based upon Google Maps calculations.

For example and I'm using nice round numbers to make this example easier:
Customer orders Walleye and wants them delivered to their pond.
Delivery per mile is USD $1
Google Maps (or some method of computing distance) shows 30 miles from the shop to the delivery site
Shipping costs are $30 added to the order.

Is there a plugin for this computation or some integrated method to do this?

Thanks,
KUrt

There is no such plugin for HikaShop. That would require the development of a shipping plugin.

I have a client who just asked for this (rate based upon mileage distance) as well. In their case, they will be shipping furniture and using a freight shipping company. So in short, there appears to be multiple scenarios (though perhaps not common) for determining shipping by mileage.

I understand that this would require a plugin. I am a developer, and it is likely I could develop this feature (given enough time and pay from the client). If I do want to try developing such a plugin, do you have any recommended plugin for using its code as a starting point?

Yes, it is likely that you can do it if you're a developer.

We actually already have had several shipping plugins developed by third party developers and we have some documentation on plugin development available here:
www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...r-documentation.html

As for an example, I would recommend to look at the manual methods shipping plugin that you can find in the folder plugins/hikashopshipping/manual/ on your website once you have HikaShop installed.

Has there been development on this with the build-in plugin?

My client opted for a simpler shipping solution. So I was not commissioned with pay to develop such a plugin.
