Last updated on January 21, 2023 @ 3:20 pm

Flat rate shipping is a great way to offer customers a consistent shipping experience, but it can be tricky to hide the flat rate shipping charges in WooCommerce. There are a few methods you can use to hide flat rate shipping charges in WooCommerce:

  1. Use the “Flat Rate Shipping” setting under WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping. This will allow you to enter a fixed shipping charge that will be applied to all orders.
  2. Use the “Hide Shipping Costs” setting under WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping. This will hide all shipping costs from your customers until they enter their shipping address at checkout.
  3. Use a plugin like “WooCommerce Hide Shipping Costs”. This plugin will let you enter a fixed shipping charge that will be applied to all orders, and will also allow you to hide the shipping costs from your customers until they enter their shipping address at checkout.
  4. Use a custom function. Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:
function my_custom_hide_shipping_costs() {
$hide_shipping_costs = true;

return $hide_shipping_costs;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_hide_shipping_costs', 'my_custom_hide_shipping_costs' );

This code will hide the shipping costs from your customers until they enter their shipping address at checkout.

PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce to sell products online, you may want to hide the flat rate shipping option from your customers. This can be done by going to the WooCommerce settings page and selecting the “Shipping” tab. Then, under the “Shipping Options” section, uncheck the “Enable shipping calculator on cart page” option. This will hide the shipping calculator from your cart page and prevent your customers from seeing the flat rate shipping option.

There are a few different methods you can use to hide flat rate shipping charges in WooCommerce. The best method for you will depend on your specific needs.
