Woocommerce Hide Shipping Address and Shipping Method by Product Category WordPress

Steven Sinfield comments:

Here is one of the screenshots of the information I want not to display for a particular product category.

And the zero dollar shipping field here because everything in this particular category has free shipping.

If you are searching for plugin solution, try https://woocommerce.com/products/conditional-shipping-and-payments/. By using this plugin, you could add restrictions on the certain product or product categories.

Steven Sinfield comments:

That is a paid plugin I just want some PHP code that I can put into the functions.php of my theme to do exactly what I need.

Then you've might want to look into the woocommerce_package_rates filter, which allows you to filter the set of shipping options that are available to the customer.

For the different conditions code examples based on different WC plugin versions you can consult https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/hide-other-shipping-methods-when-free-shipping-is-available/

If you have the basic coding knowledge and can get the product IDs then an example would be something like this:

// add this snippet to functions.php:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_package_rates', function ( $rates, $package ) {
// examine $package for products. this could be a whitelist of specific
// products that you wish to be treated in a special manner...
$special_ids = array( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 );
$special_product_present = false;
foreach ( $package['contents'] as $line_item ) {
if ( in_array( $line_item['product_id'], $special_ids ) ) {
$special_product_present = true;
}
}

$rates = array_filter( $rates, function ( $r ) use ( $special_product_present ) {
// do some logic here to return true (for rates that you wish to be displayed), or false.
// example: only allow shipping methods that start with "local"
if ( $special_product_present ) {
return preg_match( '/^local/', strtolower( $r->label ) );
} else {
return true;
}
} );

return $rates;
}, 10, 2 );

You can set your own condition where only allow shipping methods that start with "local" in the code.

Thanks

Hi Arnav,

As I am not a programmer and I know what I want I have been to both of those sites and was a little overwhelmed by the tech talk.
