 * Hi,
 * Add your shop location to the WooCommerce settings and make sure it can be discovered
   by Google Maps. Plugin reads your location then from the settings.

 * Hi,
 * That would require some code customizations or custom plugin to do the job.

 * [@jdembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) Ok, I appreciate
   your long detailed reply and I am sure you are doing your best job as a moderator.
   Some of these policies this forum has differs quite a lot from the other platforms
   I have used to work with. Basically it seems that it is really difficult to give
   quality support here because of these policies.
 * > Except that you did. The reply from you is still there, non-moderators cannot
   > see that.
 * I am not going to argue with this, but it is actually quite normal practice on
   other platforms to ask credentials in a case where the user is not technically
   enough aware of the software he is using, or if the issue cannot be replicated
   by the developer or if the issue needs some logging by the developer. There are
   several ways to do this safely and I can guide the user more in detail how to
   proceed with this. This is normally the most easiest way for the user and results
   in a satisfied user experience.
 * As a forum user I find this kind of moderation also exaggerated. I am not blaming
   you, but overall the moderation policy this forum has. Maybe you should think
   of technical solutions to replace these overly strict policies instead?

 * That is most definitely not an option. I found out that the support has huge 
   lack of quality on several plugins that are hosted in here, and there were some
   unsatisfied users giving one star reviews just because of the bad support experience,
   and I totally understand that.
 * There was a plan to release more plugins with free and pro versions in the future,
   but clearly wordpress.org is not the optimal platform for me and the company 
   I represent to host these free plugins.

 * [@jdembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) I am still waiting
   your answer to my question why it is ok for other plugin authors to ask users
   to contact via e-mail, but not for me? And I am not talking about any credentials
   here now, just to ask the user to contact via e-mail, which all the rest plugin
   authors seems to do as well.

 * [@sterndata](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) Ok, got it. However
   those steps won’t help when the error is given by a third party API, like in 
   this case.. But I will try to figure out some solution for this.
 * [@abicapslock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abicapslock/) Update the plugin
   to the latest version and see “logs” tab. There should be the whole respond from
   the API in JSON format. Paste it here or [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/)

 * [@abicapslock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abicapslock/) I am unfortunately
   unable to help you at here, because of the forum rules. To find the solution 
   to your issue, you need to read the API response from the Google API. Read the
   plugin docs if you need any further assistance.
 * [@jdembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) I have never asked
   login credentials direcly here at the forum and I would never ever do such thing.
   I have only requested the user to contact me via e-mail, because I need to have
   some access to help this user. I have seen other authors to ask users e-mail 
   address as well here at the support forum, so I am wondering why this is an issue
   only with me?

 * Hi,
 * You can try to set the logic at the plugin’s settings page (Settings – Distance
   based fee settings) if the location is not found, whether the chosen shipping
   method should be hidden or visible, or should fixed rate be used instead.
 * Otherwise check your WooCommerce’s settings.

 * Hi,
 * Please try one more time to generate a new key (do not restrict the key): [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/get-api-key](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/get-api-key)
 * Make sure you have billing enabled on your account: [https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable](https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable)
 * Check your plugin settings, you have the correct API key there and enable the
   fee on one of the shipping methods. After this also save the selected shipping
   methods settings once at WooCommerce – Settings – Shipping.
 * Installation instructions can be found here: [https://web-data.io/docs/woocommerce-distance-based-fee/](https://web-data.io/docs/woocommerce-distance-based-fee/)
 * We also offer installation service, if you are interested. Check the “Support”
   section of the instructions manual.

 * Hi,
 * With the fee, try this:
 *     ```
       function wb_dbf_calculated_fee_callback( $calculatedFee, $kiloMeters, $divider, $price ) {
           if($kiloMeters < 10) {
       		$calculatedFee = 0;
       	} else {
       		$calculatedFee = ($kiloMeters / $divider) * $price;
       	}
   
           return $calculatedFee;
       }
   
       add_filter( 'dbf_calculated_fee', 'wb_dbf_calculated_fee_callback', 10, 4 );
       ```
