Hide all Shipping Methods but Free Shipping
Normally, all shipping methods are displayed in the cart, even if free shipping is available. Then the customer has to choose which shipping method they want. In this tutorial we will show you how to hide the other shipping methods when free shipping is available and two other combinations. To do this, you need to add the relevant PHP code snippet to your functions.php file.
Only Show Free Shipping
If you want to hide all shipping methods except free shipping in cart, use this code:
function arrow_design_hide_shipping_when_free_is_available( $rates ) {
$free = array();
foreach ( $rates as $rate_id => $rate ) {
if ( 'free_shipping' === $rate->method_id ) {
$free[ $rate_id ] = $rate;
break;
}
}
return ! empty( $free ) ? $free : $rates;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_package_rates', 'arrow_design_hide_shipping_when_free_is_available', 100 );
Only Show Local Pickup and Free Shipping
This code hides all shipping methods except free shipping and local pickup.
function arrow_design_hide_shipping_when_free_is_available( $rates, $package ) {
$new_rates = array();
foreach ( $rates as $rate_id => $rate ) {
// Only modify rates if free_shipping is present.
if ( 'free_shipping' === $rate->method_id ) {
$new_rates[ $rate_id ] = $rate;
break;
}
}
if ( ! empty( $new_rates ) ) {
//Save local pickup if it's present.
foreach ( $rates as $rate_id => $rate ) {
if ('local_pickup' === $rate->method_id ) {
$new_rates[ $rate_id ] = $rate;
break;
}
}
return $new_rates;
}
return $rates;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_package_rates', 'arrow_design_hide_shipping_when_free_is_available', 10, 2 );
Show only Free Shipping in all States except…
This code allows you to display free shipping in all but selected states (in the list stored in the variable $excluded_states).
add_filter( 'woocommerce_package_rates', 'arrow_design_hide_all_shipping_when_free_is_available' , 10, 2 );
function arrow_design_hide_all_shipping_when_free_is_available( $rates, $package ) {
$excluded_states = array( 'AK','HI','GU','PR' );
if( isset( $rates['free_shipping'] ) AND !in_array( WC()->customer->shipping_state, $excluded_states ) ) :
// Get Free Shipping array into a new array
$freeshipping = array();
$freeshipping = $rates['free_shipping'];
// Empty the $available_methods array
unset( $rates );
// Add Free Shipping back into $avaialble_methods
$rates = array();
$rates[] = $freeshipping;
endif;
if( isset( $rates['free_shipping'] ) AND in_array( WC()->customer->shipping_state, $excluded_states ) ) {
// remove free shipping option
unset( $rates['free_shipping'] );
}
return $rates;
}
