City Based Delivery System for OpenCart

Updated 10 October 2023

City Based Delivery System for OpenCart module allows the customer to check the product is deliverable to their location. The admin will select the cities to the product while editing or creating them.

Meanwhile, the advantageous point about the module is that the customer can check the product deliverability by entering the postcode. They are not required to navigate to each product and type postcode for each of them. 

Further, the admin has the leverage to select the cities based on their zip codes to the products from the product edit page. Moreover, that product will be deliverable to all the cities assigned to the product by the admin. 

Meanwhile, this module serves the logged-in and guest users in a different manner. The logged-in customers can select their location from the addresses list or can enter the postcode manually, whereas the guest users will enter the postcode manually.

Check the working of this feature for the OpenCart platform based website in the video mentioned below –
