The "Address geocoding" shipping plugin allows you to provide shipping methods limited by the distance between a point and the geolocated shipping address of the customer
Features
- Create shipping methods with the Google Maps JavaScript API allowing you to easily enter an address and get back the latitude and longitude of that address. And define an allowed distance from that point in the shipping method so that it won't be available outside of that area
- When an address is created or modified, the address will be geolocated to get its latitude and longitude thanks to the Google Geocoding API
- During the checkout, only the shipping methods for which the distance between the shipping address of the customer and the address in the shipping method is lower than the distance configured in the shipping method will appear.
Installation
