WooCommerce Distance Rate Shipping 1.8.2

WooCommerce Distance Rate Shipping is a WooCommerce plugin that helps you calculate shipping charges based on distance or delivery time. Instead of using one-size-fits-all flat rates, it applies demand-based pricing that better matches how far (or how long) a shipment needs to travel.

By setting shipping costs from real delivery metrics, you can reduce surprises at checkout, improve customer trust, and support smoother order planning. Designed to work seamlessly within your WooCommerce setup, it focuses on accurate rate calculation and simple configuration.

Main Features

• Distance-based rate calculation — Computes shipping charges using distance values linked to the delivery for each order.
• Time-based rate calculation — Allows pricing based on the estimated delivery time for the shipment.
• Configurable rate rules — Lets you define how distance or time values translate into shipping costs.
• WooCommerce shipping method integration — Works as a native-style shipping option inside WooCommerce checkout.
• Order-specific pricing — Generates rates per customer order rather than using a single static fee.
• Checkout-friendly updates — Ensures shipping totals reflect the selected distance or time basis during the buying flow.
• Lightweight setup — Keeps configuration focused on shipping logic without adding unnecessary complexity.

Benefits
