Shipping Rate by Distance for WooCommerce

Shipping Rate by Distance for WooCommerce is a plugin that calculates and applies shipping costs based on the geographical distance between a store's shipping origin and customer delivery addresses. This allows store owners to implement distance-based shipping pricing models, where customers in farther locations pay proportionally higher shipping fees. The plugin integrates directly with WooCommerce shipping methods to automate distance calculations and rate assignments.

Key Features

• Distance-Based Rate Calculation - Automatically calculates shipping costs based on the distance between your warehouse or shipping location and the customer's delivery address
• Custom Distance Tiers - Set up multiple distance brackets with different shipping rates for each tier
• Flexible Pricing Models - Configure flat rates, per-mile charges, or tiered pricing structures based on distance ranges
• Multiple Shipping Locations - Support for multiple warehouse or origin points, allowing distance calculations from the nearest location
• WooCommerce Integration - Works seamlessly with WooCommerce shipping zones and methods
• Geolocation Support - Uses customer address data to determine delivery distance automatically
• Conditional Shipping Rules - Apply distance-based rates conditionally based on product weight, order total, or other criteria
• Admin Dashboard Configuration - Intuitive settings panel for managing distance brackets and rate tables
• Real-Time Rate Preview - Customers see calculated shipping costs before checkout based on their location
• Shipping Method Compatibility - Works with standard WooCommerce shipping methods and zones

Best For

This plugin is ideal for businesses with physical inventory that need to charge shipping based on delivery distance, such as local delivery services, regional distributors, or stores offering same-day or next-day delivery. It's particularly useful for businesses where shipping costs vary significantly based on location, allowing them to pass distance-related expenses fairly to customers rather than using flat-rate shipping. E-commerce stores serving large geographical areas benefit from transparent, distance-based pricing that reflects actual logistics costs.
