When a customer enters an address on the frontend, the system calculates delivery cost based on the distance from the store:

  • 0–10 km: Delivery cost is ₹2
  • 11–20 km: Delivery cost is ₹10
  • 21–90 km: Delivery cost is ₹10

Refer to the screenshot below for how this appears on the frontend.

Pick Store / Website Address from

General - Store Information – Displays the store address as configured in the Store Settings section. This information is automatically pulled from the predefined store configuration and reflects the official location details provided during setup. Go to: Admin > Stores > General > Store Information

Enter Address Manually – Enables administrators to input geographic coordinates—latitude and longitude—directly, bypassing automated location detection or map-based selection.

To configure this manually, navigate to: Admin > Stores > Sales > Delivery Methods > Distance-Based Shipping From there, enter the desired latitude and longitude values. These coordinates allow Google Maps to accurately detect and associate the location for distance-based calculations.
