Woocommerce: Hide a shipping method depending on category WordPress
- REFUNDED
Hi,
I have 3 shipping methods activated out of the 5 that comes with Woocommerce.
I wish to hide one of the methods on checkout when certain categories are bought.
In more detail:
I sell Used and New products. The Used products are eligible for Free and Local. The New products are eligible for Flat, Free and Local.
Therefore I want to hide the Flat method when the category is Used.
I know there are plugins, but would prefer to use code in functions.php to keep my site lean.
Thanks,
Brian

please try this
function my_free_shipping( $is_available ) {
global $woocommerce;
// set the product ids that are ineligible
$ineligible = array( '14009', '14031' );
// get cart contents
$cart_items = $woocommerce->cart->get_cart();
// loop through the items looking for one in the ineligible array
foreach ( $cart_items as $key => $item ) {
if( in_array( $item['product_id'], $ineligible ) ) {
return false;
}
}
// nothing found return the default value
return $is_available;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_shipping_free_shipping_is_available', 'my_free_shipping', 20 );

You have to use this filter: woocommerce_package_rates
I am going to prepare a piece of code for you now.
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
You have to know which slug has each shipping method but take this code:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_package_rates', 'hide_shipping_method' , 10, 2 );
function hide_shipping_method( $rates, $package ) {
global $woocommerce;
$excluded_categories = array( 'here categories ids' );
$cart_items = $woocommerce->cart->get_cart();
foreach ( $cart_items as $key => $item ) {
$categories = get_the_terms( $item['product_id'], 'product_cat' );
foreach ($categories as $category) {
$product_cat_id = $category->term_id;
if( in_array( $product_cat_id, $excluded_categories ) ) // delete the shipping method
unset( $rates['shipping_method_to_delete'] );
}
return $rates;
}

try this.
function filter_gateway_flatrate($gateways){
$payment_NAME = 'flat_rate';
$category_ID = '20'; // <-- changed this to category ID of Used
global $woocommerce;
foreach ($woocommerce->cart->cart_contents as $key => $values ) {
$terms = get_the_terms( $values['product_id'], 'product_cat' );
foreach ($terms as $term) {
if($term->term_id == $category_ID){
unset($gateways[$payment_NAME]);
break;
}
break;
}
}
return $gateways;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_available_payment_gateways','filter_gateway_flatrate');
