If you are running a WooCommerce store and seeking to hide specific shipping methods based on certain product categories, the following code provides a solution.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_package_rates', 'ts_product_category_hide_shipping_methods', 90, 2 );
function ts_product_category_hide_shipping_methods( $rates, $package ) {
// Set your product categories in the array (IDs, slugs, or names)
$categories = array( 'accessories' );
$found = false;
// Loop through each cart item checking for the defined product categories
foreach ( $package['contents'] as $cart_item ) {
if ( has_term( $categories, 'product_cat', $cart_item['product_id'] ) ) {
$found = true;
break;
}
}
// If the specified product category is found, unset the undesired shipping methods
if ( $found ) {
foreach ( $rates as $rate_id => $rate ) {
if ( 'local_pickup:3' === $rate->method_id ) {
unset( $rates[ $rate_id ] );
}
}
}
return $rates;
}
