when i was trying to setup my. pickup. locations, i found that i have to generate Geocode API code and it is not free, so is this true ? is there any other method to set my addresses manully withoit the need to Geocode APIs ? and why it is payable ? why it is not free ?

if i only have pickup locations and i only want to add them and don’t want to use delivery options, how can this be done ?

Hello, I give you a piece of information

Google grants 200 dollars per month of credit for API consumption.

It is important to configure the api (query per user)

Hi waelgash,

This is not theme related. It’s how Google API works. However, as @likewebcl explained, you have a certain number of free requests per month which in most cases are absolutely enough, so you will never really be charged, unless you have thousands of website visits per day.

Can you send me the link from where I can create the Google APIs ?

[Althemist]

Hi waelgash,

the link is available in 2 different places of the theme:

1. Theme Options > General > next to the “Google Maps JavaScript API key” field

AND

2. WooCommerce > Lafka Shipping Settings > General

But it requests me billing account .. is there any fees i should pay ?

[waelgash]

Also, I don’t have delivery service and I don’t have nearest by routing .. I just want to input my pickup locations and when the customer visits the website, the pop-up of branches appears

No, initially you don’t need to pay. Just to register a payment method. As I already explained:

you have a certain number of free requests per month which in most cases are absolutely enough, so you will never really be charged, unless you have thousands of website visits per day.

Even if you don’t have delivery, in order to use the popup you’d need to have the Google API credentials.

Sorry, my mistake! If you only have local pickup and no delivery, you don’t need to enter the Google API keys.
