WooCommerce - Hide shipping rates when free shipping is available.

functions.php

<?php
/**
 * Hide shipping rates when free shipping is available.
 * Updated to support WooCommerce 2.6 Shipping Zones.
 *
 * @param array $rates Array of rates found for the package.
 * @return array
 */
function my_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', 'my_hide_shipping_when_free_is_available', 100 );

May I ask why it's not considered a given that other shipping methods would be hidden if free is available? What would the case be where you would want other shipping methods to choose from? I can only think it may to do with expedited delivery options. Is that correct?

Hello can any one help me on the below issue
i have a single shipping zone with local pick up, free shipping 1500 above and flat rate if order valie less than 1500

i want to hide flat rate when order eligible for fee shipping and only free shipping and Local pick up should show

Thanks

Hi i am having problem with this. where exactly i can put this code. I did insert on function.php but its not working and got error on my admin panel. All i want is the shipping works by their geographical location. Base on the customer location and under my shipping zone it will only shows the shipping options with free shipping or flat rate

Kindly help me out how can I change Zone regions postal code to cities ? I just want that when customer purchase from my website they can directly place city and get shipping charges, No Postal code, no region.

@jamiet @pasztig: I've expanded on the provided function to hide all shipping options, except a custom shipping option I've added through a plugin.
function v161_woocommerce_hide_shipping_method( $rates ) {
$free = array();
$free_shipping = false;

    foreach ( $rates as $rate_id => $rate ) {

        if ( 'free_shipping' === $rate->method_id ) {

            $free[ $rate_id ] = $rate;
            $free_shipping = true;

        }

        if ( $free_shipping == true && 'my_custom_shipping_method' === $rate->method_id ) {
            $free[ $rate_id ] = $rate;
        }

    }

    return ! empty( $free ) ? $free : $rates;
}

Ofcourse you should be able replace the part
'my_custom_shipping_method' === $rate->method_id
with
'flat_rate:5' === $rate->id
or
'My custom shipping option name' === $rate->label

I've not tested the last 2 suggestions, but it should at least set you on the right track

Hello, good afternoon, I need to know how the exact code would be to incorporate, since I have two free shipping limits that I need at the time to display one or the other, depending on the minimum amount of purchase. Thank you so much

Hello,

I would like to use the original code to display free shipping when I don't need to show flat rate anymore : it doesn't work.
I've tried on my local site to remove every other things from my functions.php : it still does not work.

What could be wrong ? I've tried to write my own filter before finding this one, and I couldn't understand what could be wrong.

Still my site is running normally offline and online, with all the other functions and plugins.

The code for free shipping + local pickup didn't work for me, but I found a solution in the WooCommerce docs. Might be helpful for some.

https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/hide-other-shipping-methods-when-free-shipping-is-available/

You have saved me out of a 1-week headache, I am grateful

What code to use if you want the shipping price to appear only for class specific and not based on amount spent?

I used the php coding and this is what happen to my Wordpress account = Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '*', expecting end of file in /home/customer/www/nrgispower.com/public_html/wp-content/themes/flatsome-child/functions.php on line 3

Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0

I am unable to login or see my account or website. HELP HELP HELP

@masjo Brilliant! Still works awesome in 2022! God bless you!

Hello

I have an online store where anyone who makes purchases over €30 can benefit from the “Free Shipping” or “Local Pickup” service at one of the two existing stores.

I integrated the PHP code to hide the shipping fees when the “Free Shipping” service is available (for purchases over €30) and also the “Local Pickup” option is visible… Everything worked perfectly.

The PHP code that I integrated, was this:

/**

• Hide shipping rates when free shipping is available, but keep "Local pickup"
• Updated to support WooCommerce 2.6 Shipping Zones
  */

function 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', 'hide_shipping_when_free_is_available', 10, 2 );

However, the “Free Shipping” option is visible, but only one of the two pick-up locations.

Apart from making the “Free Shipping” option visible, is there any possibility to make all pick-up locations visible and not just one? There are currently two physical stores where “Local Pickup” is possible

Thanks.

@Sjouw Tank you very much! It really helped me as I had to show "Local Pickup" with free shipping. I used the 'My custom shipping option name' === $rate->label' and it worked perfectly. :)
