Shopify App : Distance Based Shipping Rates
Calculated shipping rates based on rate per mile or kilometer
About Distance Based Shipping Rates
Calculate by Route Distance : Use route distance to create shipping calculators for any type of over-the-road shipping service such as courier or truckload freight.
Calculate by Straight Line : Use straight line distance to create shipping calculators for transportation providers that don't use roads such as air or ocean freight.
Flexible Settings : For each calculator, set the rate/mile or km, the minimum and maximum quote amounts, and the weight range for which to offer the rate.
Overview
This app identifies the distance between the ship-from and ship-to addresses and calculates a shipping rate based on a rate per unit of measure (Kilometers or Miles) specified in the app settings.
Common Features Available On All Plans

- Supported origins: Anywhere in the world with a valid street address recognized by the Google Cloud Platform.
- Supported destinations: Anywhere in the world with a valid street address recognized by the Google Cloud Platform.
