Shipping – Page 2

In this tutorial, I will show you three methods of how you can configure ZIP/postcode-based shipping in WordPress (or, to be more specific, in your WooCommerce store).

• The first way involves creating a custom shipping zone.
• The second way allows you to leave your WooCommerce store shipping settings untouched, but at the same time to enable or disable specific shipping methods by a postcode(s) with the help of a custom plugin.
• The third approach will be a programmatic one.

Now, let’s dive into it.

In this tutorial I would like to show you how you can either find both shipping class ID and slug in WordPress admin or get them programmatically using WC_Product object’s methods.

There are two type of fields in WooCommerce – billing and shipping fields (sorry for being so obvious). Some of the fields are presented in both of these categories, like a first name field or a country field. Some – may be presented in one of the categories only, like phone or email.

And now read carefully:

• We can make changes in the fields using hook woocommerce_default_address_fields – in this case the changes will affect everything – both edit billing and shipping fields pages in “My account” and the Checkout page as well.
• woocommerce_shipping_fields – the same, but affects only shipping fields
• woocommerce_billing_fields – the same, but affects only billing fields
• woocommerce_checkout_fields – affects only the checkout page, nothing else, this hook is already described in details in a separate tutorial.
