Magento Issues Impacting MatrixRates

1. Magento v2.1.3 - Website specific shipping rates or configuration are not working - you may not see any rates when placing an order via the admin panel
   • Github Issue: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/7840
   • Related Issue: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/7943
   • Code change required to fix: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/7943#issuecomment-269508822
2. Only country, region and postcode are included in shipping request at checkout - you may not see correct rates returned if filtering on city or PO box addresses
   • Github Issue: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/3789
   • Resolved in Magento 2.1 and above for Guest checkout, logged in customers will still only see region/state, postcode and country
3. Error thrown when placing an order with some shipping methods. Root cause is that some shipping methods have shipping method codes longer than the column length on quote for shipping_method field. Field is truncating the code and order cannot be placed.

Credits

This extension borrows heavily from the Tablerate capability in Magento2. In order to keep codebase as bug-free and conformant as possible the tablerate code is used in preference to writing from scratch. This hopefully also allows for easier understanding by users., _(*10)

We would like to acknowledge and thank the Magento 2 Development team for making their codebase open for such use., _(*11)

The composer structure is taken from various sources, most heavily using structure from https://github.com/sjparkinson/static-review., _(*12)

Assistance around composer, Magento2 structure, etc was also taken from these sources:, _(*13)
