How to Hide Specific Shipping Methods When Free Shipping Is Available on the Cart Page

This feature allows you to hide only selected shipping methods when Free Shipping is available, instead of hiding all other options.

It is useful when you want to keep certain premium or special shipping methods visible.

You can choose exactly which shipping methods should be hidden.

This helps you maintain flexibility while keeping the cart page clean.

How it works

When this option is enabled, the plugin checks if Free Shipping is available for the customer.

If Free Shipping is applicable, the plugin hides only the shipping methods you have selected.

All other shipping methods remain visible and usable.

Once enabled, an additional field called “Select Shipping Method” appears, allowing you to choose one or more shipping methods to hide.

Steps to configure the settings

1. Go to WooCommerce > Hide Shipping Method
2. Create a new rule or edit an existing one
3. Enable the option “Hide specific shipping method when Free Shipping is available”
4. In the Select Shipping Method field, choose the shipping methods you want to hide
5. Save and enable the rule

The settings take effect immediately on the cart and checkout pages.

Example scenario

An online clothing store delivers products within 2–5 days as standard shipping.

It also offers an Urgent Delivery option that delivers products within 24 hours for an extra charge.

The store also provides:

• Free Shipping for eligible customers
• Local Pickup for nearby customers

Even when customers qualify for Free Shipping or Local Pickup, the store still wants to:

• Keep Urgent Delivery available
• Hide only unnecessary shipping methods

By using the “Hide specific shipping method when Free Shipping is available” option, the store can:

• Hide selected shipping methods
• Keep Urgent Delivery, Free Shipping, and Local Pickup visible

As a result, customers see only the most relevant and useful shipping options on the cart page.
