Hi,

I can add a feature to the next plugin update, which allows you to control more the fixed fee behavior.

Kim

Hi,

Not directly possible, but you can do it with a hook: https://web-data.online/docs/woocommerce-custom-shipping-methods/#developers

Kim

Ok, here is the response:
{“destination_addresses”:[“Via Giovanni Amendola, 5, 98071 Capo d’Orlando ME, Italy”],”origin_addresses”:[“Via Giovanni Amendola, 25, 98071 Capo d’Orlando ME, Italy”],”rows”:[{“elements”:[{“distance”:{“text”:”0.4 km“,”value”:395},”duration”:{“text”:”2 mins”,”value”:117},”status”:”OK”}]}],”status”:”OK”}

So if you add price 1 and divider 1, you should get 0.4EUR for the shipping. If you get any more than that, then check you don’t have any additional fees for your shipping.

Minimum and maximum values are used for limiting the shipping method’s visibility. You can set the minimum to 3km for example so the shipping method won’t show up until the distance from your shop to customers location is more than 3 kilometers.

However you can set up 2 or more shipping methods. One with the fixed fee for 3km distance. Minimum distance 0, maximum distance 3 and then set fixed fee for this shipping method.

Then add another shipping method where minimum distance is 3.1 and maximum distance is some large number, e.g. 9999. Then add the divider and fee as you wish and leave the fixed fee field empty.

Kim

Hi,

Can you give me origin address and destination address, so I can check the API response and I can try to recreate your issue myself.

Kim

I guess this topic is related to the previous one, so:

– Set one shipping method with fixed fee, 0 distance based fee, divider 1, minimum distance limit to 0 and maximum distance limit to 100 miles.

– And another one with 0 fixed fee and with distance based fee 1 (or anything you want), divider 1, minimum distance limit to 100 miles and maximum distance limit to 9999 (or any large number)

Kim

Registering is free for the API and you can use quite large number of requests before you need to pay anything, so feel free to test drive the plugin by yourself.

Destination city and address are required fields.

Kim

Here is the API response:

distance: 10.4 mi
value: 16787

I guess distance is fine, but value seems to be in meters. It seems Google API does not change the value, no matter if you use imperial or metric units parameter.

I made now a little adjustment to the plugin code, so it will turn meters in to miles if you have chosen “Units – Miles” at the shipping method settings.

Hopefully this little fix will help you to get more accurate pricing for the shipping.

Kim

Hi,

1) You can use base price for the shipping method. So you can set the minimum distance to 10 miles and then start to charge per mile.

2) I believe API picks the fastest route and mode is “driving”.

Also please note taxes affects the total cost as well.
