Yes, it is possible to integrate a custom code shipping calculator in Webflow that calculates shipping costs based on distance from a store to the destination with a minimum charge. Here's how you can do it:

Set up your store:

First, make sure you have set up your store in Webflow and have added all the necessary products.
Define the regions you are willing to ship to and set the shipping rates for each region based on distance.

Obtain the necessary APIs:

You will need two APIs to calculate the distance between the store and the destination: a geolocation API and a distancematrix API.
Popular options for geolocation APIs include Google Maps Geocoding API or IP Geolocation API.
For the distancematrix API, you can use the Google Maps Distance Matrix API.

Calculate the distance:

Once you have obtained the relevant APIs, you will need to use JavaScript to calculate the distance between the store location and the destination address.
The geolocation API will help you convert the destination address into latitude and longitude coordinates.
With these coordinates, you can then use the distancematrix API to calculate the distance in miles or kilometers.

Determine shipping rates:

Create a logic to determine the shipping rates based on the calculated distance.
You can set up a minimum charge for shipping and add additional costs based on the distance.

Display the shipping cost:

Once you have calculated the shipping cost, you can display it to the user on the checkout page or cart page.
Use Webflow's dynamic embed feature to insert the JavaScript code that calculates the shipping cost.

Test and refine:

Finally, test the integration thoroughly to ensure accurate results.
Monitor customer feedback and make any necessary adjustments to the calculation logic or other elements of the integration.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly integrate a custom code shipping calculator in Webflow that calculates shipping costs based on distance from a store to the destination with a minimum charge.
