Shiping Calculator Problem

[peter_mendres]

Hi! We have been looking for a shipping cost calculator (based on distance and seller/customer location), however we are not sure if the extensions we saw is fit for us.

General Details:

1. Website only sells in One country (e.g, Japan)

2. Website is a marketplace (has multiple vendors from different cities)

3. Sellers are located from different cities (e.g, Osaka, Nara, Kyoto)

4. Customer are located from different cities (e.g, Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, Tokyo)

Sample Scenario:

1. Customer #1(from Osaka) orders a perfume from Seller #1(from Kyoto) 

2. Customer #2(from Nara) orders a bottle of wine from Seller #2(from Osaka)

Problem:

The extensions we saw calculates the actual location of the admin (which is us), going to the actual location of the customer buying the product.

You may want to take a look at @ShipperHQ. I believe that with their system, you could probably treat the sellers goods could be treated as coming from different origins (ie. different warehouses) with different rules/fees.

Best of luck!

Hi @peter_mendres,

Which marketplace extension you are using or custom?

May be some addon are available for that extension.

ShipperHQ is also a good extension as suggested by @Robert Rand.

We will definitely look into this. Thank you!

Hi @peter_mendres,

You are using Webkul marketplace then it is already providing some add-on for the extension.

For example:
https://store.webkul.com/magento2-marketplace-multi-shipping.html

https://store.webkul.com/magento2-multi-vendor-table-rate-shipping.html

I hope it will help you!

Hi Vimal, thank you for the suggestion, however this only calculates based on zip codes.

What we are looking for is a shipping calculator based by distance (exact kilometer from point A to point B).

Will try to look for an extension again

Hi @peter_mendres 

As you are using Webkul Magento 2 Multivendor Marketplace module and you required shipping calculator module based on distance.

For such functionality, you can check Webkul Magento 2 Marketplace Distance Rate Shipping module.

This module is Add-on to Magento 2 Multivendor Marketplace. You can check module functionality and workflow from here

Hope it helps!

Hi peter_mendres, I’ve been following your thread since I’ve run into similar headaches with shipping calculators for multi-vendor setups. Your scenario with sellers and customers spread across cities like Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara is tricky, especially since you need that exact kilometer-based distance calculation. I get why the zip code-based options from Webkul’s add-ons (like Vimal Kumar mentioned) might not cut it for you – they’re handy, but not precise enough for what you’re after.

I’ve dealt with something similar on a smaller scale, and one thing that helped was digging into tools that use Google Maps API for real distance calculations. For example, I came across a neat fuel calculator tool which you see here which uses distance to estimate costs – not a shipping solution per se, but it got me thinking about how distance-based logic could be adapted for shipping. Have you considered tweaking Webkul’s Distance Rate Shipping module (the one saurabhsin4ea5 brought up later) to fit your needs? It’s supposed to work with Google Maps for vendor-to-customer distances, though I haven’t tested it myself.

@Robert Rand’s ShipperHQ suggestion sounds promising too – I’ve heard it can handle multiple origins, which might let you set each seller’s city as a unique starting point. Might be worth a demo to see if it can do kilometers instead of just zones. Let us know what you end up trying – I’d love to hear how you solve this!
