Shipping Origin
Overview
The Shipping Origin module allows you to calculate shipping rates based on the address of the inventory source where the product is located. This is in contrast to the default Magento behavior, which calculates shipping rates based on the address of the store.
The Shipping Origin module requires you to have a custom inventory stock and inventory sources instead of the default one. Also, each in-stock product should be assigned only to at least one custom inventory source.
After configuring inventory stocks, sources, and products, there are no additional configuration needs. The module will start to work automatically and calculate shipping rates based on inventory source address.
When you use this module, you must not use the default inventory source or stock. Multi-source inventory uses the default inventory source and stock as a fallback to one-source inventory. If you use the default inventory, the priority for an item with multiple inventory sources will not work correctly.
