10 Handy Customizations for USPS and Stamps.com Shipping Plugins for WooCommerce
Plugins are developed keeping in view of the basic need related tomize their plugins.
In WooCommerce, tor –> functions.php. Next, paste the code snippet there. Once you save changes, these will be available in your WooCommerce settings.
In this article, we’ll see 10 Handy customizations for USPS and Stamps.com Shipping Plugins for WooCommerce.
1. Assign a Default Weight for the Products
Consider a situation where you add new products to the product.
To avoid this situation, can add this code snippet, and auto $default_weight = 1. Here it is 1 pound.
add_filter('woocommerce_product_get_weight', 'add_weight', 10, 2);
function add_weight($weight, $product){
$default_weight = 1; //give here the default weight, which will consider if there is no any wight assigned to the products.
if( empty($weight) ){
return $default_weight;
}
else{
return $weight;
}
}
2. Hide Shipping Methods based on Order Weight
Order weight refers to hide shipping methods based on the weight of the package. If the weight is less than a certain value, you can hide the shipping methods which are mentioned in the code snippet.
Let’s suppose you have selected all the USPS services on the Settings page. And you want to hide some specific shipping method based on weight such as letters or media mails, use the code snippet below. In the given code we have item weight as 160 oz “($weight_oz >= 160)”. You can change the value by replacing 160.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_package_rates', 'show_shipping_method_on_order_weight', 10, 2 );
function show_shipping_method_on_order_weight( $available_shipping_methods, $package ) {
$order_weight = 0;
foreach( WC()->cart->cart_contents as $key => $values ) {
$product_weight = woocommerce_get_weight($values[ 'data' ]->get_weight(),'lbs');
$quantity = $values['quantity'];
if($product_weight && $quantity){
$order_weight = $order_weight + $product_weight*$quantity;
}
}
$weight_oz = $order_weight*16;
//echo"weight_oz $weight_oz";die;
if($weight_oz >= 160){
$shipping_services_to_hide = array(
'wf_usps_stamps',
'wf_usps_stamps:US-XM',
'wf_usps_stamps:US-EMI',
'wf_usps_stamps:US-PM',
'wf_shipping_usps:D_STANDARD_POST',
'wf_shipping_usps:D_MEDIA_MAIL',
'wf_shipping_usps:D_LIBRARY_MAIL',
'wf_shipping_usps:D_PRIORITY_MAIL',
'wf_shipping_usps:I_EXPRESS_MAIL',
'wf_shipping_usps:I_PRIORITY_MAIL',
'wf_usps_stamps',
'wf_shipping_usps:I_FIRST_CLASS',
'wf_shipping_usps:I_POSTCARDS',
);
}else{
$shipping_services_to_hide = array('flat_rate');
}
foreach ( $shipping_services_to_hide as $key => $value ) {
//echo"value <pre>";print_r($value);echo"</pre>";
unset( $available_shipping_methods[$value] );
//unset($value);
}
return $available_shipping_methods;
}
You can add or remove any service by editing the right shipping method Id in the code. Add more services in the format ‘wf_shipping_usps:I_PRIORITY_MAIL’, along with the other services.
3. Hide Shipping Method Based on Item Count
Item Count is the tomers who have 5 or more items in the cart. Set the minimum number of items required on the cart in this line of the code: $minimum_number_of_item = 5;
In the present code snippet, it is 5. If the number of items is less than 5, free shipping option will not be available. Regular shipping methods will be shown tomers having less than 5 items.
add_filter('woocommerce_package_rates', 'show_hide_free_shipping', 10, 2);
function show_hide_free_shipping($available_shipping_methods, $package){
$minimum_number_of_item = 5; //Give here minumum number of items to allow freeshipping
$free_shipping = false;
global $woocommerce;
$customer->get_shipping_country();
$item_count = 0;
foreach (WC()->cart->cart_contents as $key => $item) {
$item_count += $item['quantity'];
}
if( $item_count >= $minimum_number_of_item ){
$free_shipping = true;
}
if($free_shipping){
unset($available_shipping_methods['wf_shipping_usps:D_FIRST_CLASS']);
}
return $available_shipping_methods;
}
4. Hide Shipping Method Based on Order Cost
Order cost is the total_limit = 100;
Then configure the flat rate ID that is to show.
To summarize, with this snippet you hide one shipping option when the cart tomer.
add_filter('woocommerce_package_rates', 'wf_remove_shipping_options_basetotal', 10, 2);
function wf_remove_shipping_options_basetotal($rates, $package){
global $woocommerce;
$order_total
$method_to_hide_when_cross_limit = array(
'flat_rate:03' // configure the flat rate ID that needs to be hidden
);
$method_to_show_when_cross_limit = array(
'free_shipping:1' //config here exact freeshipping ID of you cart
);
$cart_total;
if ( $cart_total_limit ) {
foreach ($method_to_hide_when_cross_limit as $shipping_method) {
unset( $rates[$shipping_method] );
}
}else{
foreach ($method_to_show_when_cross_limit as $shipping_method) {
unset( $rates[$shipping_method] );
}
}
return $rates;
}
5. Hide Shipping Methods when Free Shipping or Flat Rate Exists
Many times you want tomers in such cases.
So, this customization code snippet hides any other shipping services when there is a valid free shipping of flat rate setting is available.
add_filter('woocommerce_package_rates', 'xa_hide_shipping_methods_if_free_flaterate_exist', 10, 2);
if(!function_exists('xa_hide_shipping_methods_if_free_flaterate_exist')){
function xa_hide_shipping_methods_if_free_flaterate_exist( $available_shipping_methods, $package ){
$hide_if_shpping_method_exist = array('free_shipping','flat_rate'); //If the shipping methods given here is exists.
$method_to_hide = array('wf_dhl_shipping'); //Hide all the shipping method provided here.
$do_hide = false;
foreach ($hide_if_shpping_method_exist as $method) {
foreach ($available_shipping_methods as $shipping_method => $value) {
if( strpos( $shipping_method, $method ) !== false ) {
$do_hide=true;
break 2;
}
}
}
if( $do_hide ){
foreach ($method_to_hide as $method) {
xa_hide_the_shipping_method( $method, $available_shipping_methods );
}
}
return $available_shipping_methods;
}
}
if(!function_exists('xa_hide_the_shipping_method')){
function xa_hide_the_shipping_method($method, &$available_shipping_methods){
foreach ($available_shipping_methods as $shipping_method => $value) {
if( strpos( $shipping_method, $method ) !== false ) {
unset($available_shipping_methods[$shipping_method]);
}
}
return $available_shipping_methods;
}
}
6. Hide Shipping Method when Shipping Class Exists: Flat Rate
We sometimes put certain items in one class and define a Flat rate for that class. So for classes having Flat Rate, you can use the following code to show only the Flat Rate on the cart page/checkout.
add_filter('woocommerce_package_rates', 'wf_hide_shipping_method_based_on_shipping_class', 10, 2);
function wf_hide_shipping_method_based_on_shipping_class($available_shipping_methods, $package)
{
$hide_when_shipping_class_exist = array(
74=> array(
'flat_rate:8'
)
);
$hide_when_shipping_class_not_exist = array(
);
$shipping_class_in_cart = array();
foreach($package['contents'] as $key => $values) {
$shipping_class_in_cart[] = $values['data']->get_shipping_class_id();
}
foreach($hide_when_shipping_class_exist as $class_id => $methods) {
if(in_array($class_id, $shipping_class_in_cart)){
foreach($methods as & $current_method) {
unset($available_shipping_methods[$current_method]);
}
}
}
foreach($hide_when_shipping_class_not_exist as $class_id => $methods) {
if(!in_array($class_id, $shipping_class_in_cart)){
foreach($methods as & $current_method) {
unset($available_shipping_methods[$current_method]);
}
}
}
return $available_shipping_methods;
}
7. Set Maximum Shipping Charges
This customer.
So if the actual USPS shipping charges for any item is $30, your too.
add_filter('woocommerce_package_rates', 'wf_modify_rate', 10, 3);
function wf_modify_rate( $available_shipping_methods, $package ){
$origin_country = 'CA';
$max_amount_domestic = 25;
$max_amount_international = 50;
$max_amount = ($package['destination']['country'] == $origin_country) ? $max_amount_domestic : $max_amount_international;
$item_count = 0;
foreach ($package['contents'] as $key => $item) {
$item_count += $item['quantity'];
}
foreach ($available_shipping_methods as $methord_name => $methord) {
if( $max_amount < $available_shipping_methods[$methord_name]->cost ){
$available_shipping_methods[$methord_name]->cost = $max_amount;
}
}
return $available_shipping_methods;
}
8. Modifying Product Title and Price in Stamps.com Label
Stamps.com allows printing of Hidden postages. Apart from the built-in feature, you can use the following code to $500.
So the modification will be applied to every product in stamps label.
add_filter('wf_stamps_request', 'wf_customize_stamps_products_title', 10, 2);
function wf_customize_stamps_products_title( $request, $order ){
$new_product_titles = array(
//Config this array with product name with corresponding values
'Mobile phone'=> array(
'Description' =>'Cell Phone', //new description. Leave this blank if no need to change.
'Value' => 500 //new price of the item. Leave this blank if no need to change.
),
);
if( isset($request['CustomsLine']) ){
foreach ($request['Customs_items) {
if( array_key_exists($customs_items['Description'], $new_product_titles ) ){
if( !empty( $new_product_titles[ $customs_items['Description'] ]['Value'] ) ){
$request['Customs_items['Description'] ]['Value'];
}
if(!empty( $new_product_titles[ $customs_items['Description'] ]['Description'] )){
$request['Customs_items['Description'] ]['Description'];
}
}
}
}
return $request;
}
9. Hide Shipping Method based on Shipping Class: Local Pickups
Local pickups mean that the shipped items will be retained at local stations of the carrier. This is similar to the 7th snippet. Here you can hide other shipping methods when the shipping destination falls under the local pickup zone.
For example, you offer only local pickup in a certain part of your state. So as soon as any customer enters the ZIP code of the locality of local pickups, other shipping methods are hidden.
//add_filter('woocommerce_package_rates', 'wf_hide_shipping_method_based_on_shipping_class', 10, 2);
function wf_hide_shipping_method_based_on_shipping_class($available_shipping_methods, $package)
{
$hide_when_shipping_class_exist = array(
18=> array(
'local_pickup:3'
)
);
$hide_when_shipping_class_not_exist = array(
);
$shipping_class_in_cart = array();
foreach($package['contents'] as $key => $values) {
$shipping_class_in_cart[] = $values['data']->get_shipping_class_id();
}
foreach($hide_when_shipping_class_exist as $class_id => $methods) {
if(in_array($class_id, $shipping_class_in_cart)){
foreach($methods as & $current_method) {
unset($available_shipping_methods[$current_method]);
}
}
}
foreach($hide_when_shipping_class_not_exist as $class_id => $methods) {
if(!in_array($class_id, $shipping_class_in_cart)){
foreach($methods as & $current_method) {
unset($available_shipping_methods[$current_method]);
}
}
}
return $available_shipping_methods;
}
10. Enhance the Checkout Process for PO Box Addresses
A PO Box or Post Office Box is a lockable box located in a post office which custo a PO Box.
This code snippet will limit the services of other carriers and only show USPS rates in checkout when PO Box is entered in ‘address line 1’ instead of a street address.
add_filter('woocommerce_package_rates', 'wf_hide_fedex_for_po_box_shipment', 10, 2);
function wf_hide_fedex_for_po_box_shipment($available_shipping_methods, $package){
$shipping_method_to_hide = 'wf_fedex_woocommerce_shipping';
global $woocommerce;
$address = ( !empty( $woocommerce->customer->get_billing_address_1();
$postcode = ( !empty( $woocommerce->customer->get_billing_postcode();
if ( strstr( $address, 'pobox' ) || strstr( $postcode, 'pobox' ) ) {
foreach ($available_shipping_methods as $shipping_method => $value) {
if( strpos( $shipping_method, $shipping_method_to_hide ) !== false ) {
unset($available_shipping_methods[$shipping_method]);
}
}
}
return $available_shipping_methods;
}
