Configure Shipping based on location

[janewhite1]

I'd like to offer local pickup as a shipping option only to customers who live within a certain distance or within a postcode range of my location. Is there a way of doing this?

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

you could create a custom carrier module, that would implement this logic. The logic sounds like it would compare the customers zipcode to your stores zipcode, and then determine the distance between these zipcodes.

 

There are services that provide distances between zipcodes, this one I found is free.

So the custom module would determine the distance, and if that distance is less than x (you have to define x), then it would return the store pickup carrier.

 

If you would like to hire me for this job, send me a PM and we can discuss in more details.

You can set different carriers and rates by Country, State or Zipcode ranges.

 

There is also a demo for the module so you can try it first and make sure it fits your needs.
