The Problem
- ✖ Flat-rate shipping does not reflect real delivery distance or costs
- ✖ Manual delivery zone management becomes difficult as orders grow
- ✖ Stores lose money on long-distance deliveries or overcharge nearby customers
- ✖ Customers expect accurate delivery fees and service availability at checkout
✔
The Solution
Toweringmedia Distance Delivery uses Google-powered distance calculations to charge accurate delivery fees, validate service areas, and automate smarter Magento 2 logistics.
How It works
1
Configure Delivery Rules
Set your store origin, Google Maps API, pricing rules, minimum charges, and supported delivery zones in Magento admin.
2
Calculate Distance
At checkout, the extension measures the customer delivery distance using Google-powered maps and route data.
3
Charge Accurately
Apply real-time delivery fees, validate service availability, and streamline order fulfillment with confidence.
See It In Action
Rate Calculation Engine
- Primary routing via Google Directions API (driving distance/time) with Haversine fallback when APIs are rate-limited.
- Supports negotiated rates, handling fees, and dynamic surcharges by distance band or geo-zone.
- Session-based caching and quota safeties prevent overages on high-traffic checkouts.
- Picks the optimal fulfillment location per order using Store Locator data and optional geographic restrictions.
- Handles “single delivery only” items, multi-stop routes, and store-specific blackout windows.
Delivery Slot & Schedule Management
- Generates one-hour delivery windows based on each location’s delivery hours and blackout dates.
- Enforces lead-time automatically (e.g., 1-day vs. 2-day products) by reading tm_lead_time_days.
- Provides REST endpoints for fetching available slots and for rescheduling (used by admin modal + kitchen PWA).
Driver & Fulfillment Integration
- Logs lat/lng, distance, duration, and raw API payloads into toweringmedia_delivery_quote_log.
- The Run Grouping service clusters orders by proximity/time so drivers see curated “runs” in the PWA.
- Supports auto-cancellation sync (order canceled → driver tasks removed) and proof-of-delivery uploads.
- Delivery tasks appear alongside pickup tasks on the Fulfillment Board with local window labels and solo-delivery badges.
- Kitchen PWA can reschedule windows on the fly, and driver PWA consumes the same API for run routing.
Security & Observability
- Secure Google API key storage with sandbox/live toggles (shared with Store Locator).
- Event observers attach quote logs to orders, ensuring full audit trail.
- Built-in logging for API retries, quota warnings, and distance anomalies.
