<p>Take control of your shipping costs — the simple way.</p>

Simple Weight Based Shipping

<p>Simple Weight Based Shipping lets WooCommerce stores show or hide shipping methods based on total cart weight and a single max item size, with sensible defaults, controls, and solid compatibility.</p>

<h3>PH Hide Shipping Methods and Rate Adjustment for WooCommerce — Control which shipping methods customers see and adjust shipping rates dynamically based on your store’s rules</h3>
<p>PH Hide Shipping Methods and Rate Adjustment gives you complete control over which shipping options are displayed at checkout and how shipping costs are adjusted based on your business rules. Whether you want to hide expensive shipping methods, display free shipping only under certain conditions, or modify shipping charges dynamically, the plugin helps you create a cleaner and more optimized checkout experience.</p>
<h3>Hide WooCommerce shipping methods based on real business conditions</h3>
<p>WooCommerce displays all available shipping methods by default, but real-world shipping requirements are rarely that simple. With this plugin, you can conditionally hide shipping methods based on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cart subtotal</li>
<li>Total order weight</li>
<li>Product quantity</li>
<li>Product categories</li>
<li>Shipping classes</li>
<li>Shipping Zones, destination country, state, or postcode</li>
<li>Shipping Methods</li>
<li>Day, date, or time</li>
<li>User roles</li>
<li>Applied coupons</li>
</ul>

<p>This allows you to control exactly which shipping options customers see at checkout.</p>
<h3>Hide other methods when free shipping is available</h3>
<p>Free shipping should stand out—not compete with unnecessary shipping options. The plugin allows you to automatically hide other shipping methods when free shipping becomes available, creating a cleaner checkout experience and helping customers make faster decisions.   This is especially useful for promotional campaigns and free shipping thresholds.</p>
<h3>Adjust shipping rates dynamically on the WooCommerce cart and checkout page</h3>
<p>Shipping costs often need to change depending on the order or customer. Using rate adjustment rules, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Increase or decrease shipping charges</li>
<li>Apply flat-rate adjustments</li>
<li>Add percentage-based shipping costs</li>
<li>Modify shipping rates based on coupons or cart conditions</li>
</ul>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img class="wp-image-18734006551477" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/18.-ph_img_add_rule_to_adjust.jpg" alt="" /></figure>
<p>This gives you greater flexibility to align shipping charges with operational costs and marketing strategies.</p>
<h3>Create advanced shipping logic without custom code</h3>
<p>Complex shipping workflows usually require custom development—but not anymore. You can combine multiple conditions to create advanced shipping rules. For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hide express shipping for low-value orders</li>
<li>Display local pickup only for selected products</li>
<li>Hide carrier-calculated rates for specific destinations</li>
<li>Show free shipping only when quantity thresholds are met</li>
</ul>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img class="wp-image-18734006551462" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/31.-ph_img_edit_rule.jpg" alt="" /></figure>
</figure>
<p>Advanced rules help you tailor checkout behavior to match your exact business requirements.</p>
<h3>Configure location-based shipping visibility</h3>
<p>Different destinations often require different shipping options. You can hide or display shipping methods based on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Shipping Zones</li>
<li>Countries</li>
<li>States or regions</li>
<li>ZIP/postcodes</li>
</ul>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img class="alignnone wp-image-18734006557353 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/33.-ph_img_select_zone.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="245" /></figure>
<p>This helps you manage regional restrictions, delivery limitations, and location-specific shipping strategies more effectively.</p>
<h3>Customize shipping by products and categories</h3>
<p>Not all products should use the same shipping methods. The plugin allows you to configure shipping visibility based on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Product categories</li>
<li>Shipping classes</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734006557352" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/38.-ph_img_select_senstitive_class.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="279" /> This is especially useful for bulky, fragile, oversized, or restricted items.</p>
<h3>Improve checkout clarity and reduce cart abandonment</h3>
<p>Too many shipping options can overwhelm customers. By showing only the most relevant shipping methods and adjusting rates intelligently, you can create a cleaner checkout experience that reduces confusion and helps customers complete purchases faster. <img class="size-full wp-image-18734006557355 aligncenter" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/54.-ph_img_order_placed_on_sunday.jpg" alt="" width="631" height="600" /> This is particularly effective when hiding expensive or unnecessary shipping options during checkout.</p>
<h3>Control how carrier-specific services are displayed on the WooCommerce cart and checkout page</h3>
<p>If you use carrier-calculated shipping plugins, you can go beyond hiding entire methods. The plugin also allows you to hide specific shipping services returned by carriers, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>UPS</li>
<li>FedEx</li>
<li>DHL</li>
<li>USPS</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, you can hide premium express services for low-cart-value orders or suppress expensive delivery options for selected regions.</p>
<h3>Manage shipping rules more efficiently</h3>
<p>As your store grows, managing shipping conditions becomes more complex. The plugin provides a centralized interface to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Create and manage multiple rules</li>
<li>Edit, copy, or delete existing configurations</li>
<li>Organize advanced shipping conditions efficiently</li>
</ul>
<p>This makes it easier to maintain and scale your shipping setup over time.</p>
<h3>Built to work seamlessly with WooCommerce</h3>
<p>PH Hide Shipping Methods and Rate Adjustment integrates directly into WooCommerce and works alongside both default and carrier-calculated shipping methods. You can configure rules without coding and adapt shipping behavior without changing your existing fulfillment workflow.</p>
<h3>Ideal for:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Stores offering free shipping promotions</li>
<li>Businesses using carrier-calculated shipping rates</li>
<li>Stores with region-specific shipping restrictions</li>
<li>Merchants wanting to reduce checkout clutter</li>
<li>Businesses needing advanced conditional shipping logic</li>
</ul>
