With this tutorial, we will show you how to disable shipping charges when you want to offer free shipping. For example, with WooCommerce you can add a rule where if customers orders for a minimum 75$, they can get free shipping.<\/p>\n

The problem is that WooCommerce leaves all types of shipping charges as default settings. So it can leave customers confused as they might not understand if shipping is free or not. Additionally, they cannot select a different shipping method.<\/p>\n

Here’s a function that will help you disable shiping charges. First, you’ll notice that both values are displayed in the unset with Firebug. Note the values with their number.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

In the images above, you’ll notice each input for each shipping charge.
\nIn the first one, we can see free_shipping:9<\/strong>, whereas with the shipping charge input, we can see flat_rate:6<\/strong>. So with this function, we will say that if the shiping method works, disable all other shipping methods.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
