As of WooCommerce version 9.9, a new setting has been introduced to hide other shipping methods when “Free Shipping” is available. You can navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping Settings and enable the “Hide shipping rates when free shipping is available” option.
This new setting eliminates the need for snippets or plugins, offering a built-in solution for a smoother experience.
Overview
↑ Back to topBy default, WooCommerce will show all shipping methods that match the customer and the cart contents. This means Free Shipping will also show along with Flat Rate and other Shipping Methods. The functionality to hide all other methods and only show Free Shipping requires either custom PHP code or a plugin/extension.
