Maximum Radius

Maximum Radius Method

The maximum radius method checks if the customer's location is eligible for delivery by checking the address that he put in the widget. That address will need to be within the radius you specified in your delivery condition settings.

To use this feature, you need a Distance Matrix API key

How to get the API key:

Step 1: Choose or create a new project

  1. Click the project drop-down and select or create the project for which you want to add an API key

Step 2: Create an API key

  1. Click the menu button and select Google Maps Platform > Credentials

  2. On the Credentials page, click + Create Credentials > API key

Step 3: Enable Distance Matrix API

  1. Click the menu button and select APIs

  2. On the APIs page, choose Distance Matrix API and enable it

You have to own a paid Google Cloud Project to be able to get a valid API key.

You can use the same API key and enable Places API if you also use Store pickup function and want to show your store location on the map.

How Does The Maximum Radius Method Work?

You will need to enter your key location and pick the maximum radius approved to deliver in the delivery conditions setting

Your customers will need to enter their address in the widget to check if delivery is available

If the address that the customer entered in the widget falls within the radius you specified in your delivery condition settings, he will be able to proceed

If the address that the customer entered in the widget is out of the radius you specified in your delivery condition settings, he will be unable to proceed further
