I am selling a product through Shopify. I want to put a semi-personalized thank you note in the box. What I have is 8 different notecards, each printed with something different. Which card the person gets is determined by their proximity to the thing printed on the card. So here's the question. What can I do to easily determine the distance between a customers ZIP code and the 8 ZIP codes of the thing printed on the card.
I guess one option is to just look it up manually via google maps, but thats so time consuming. I've considered an excel macro, but my experiences with those have been poor. I had a few friends recommend javascript, but I dont know how to integrate that into the shopify backend or if its even possible. Ive googled zip code distance calculators, and they exist, but its only between two zip codes.
Any thoughts?
