Quick Tip: Restrict a WooCommerce Shipping Method to the Contiguous United States

I am the kind of guy that rarely comments. This really saved me. The code provided by woocomerce for the same purpose threw an error and i was trying to fix it but to noavail, thanks a lot man.

That’s a “Wine” sale site.

Can you Restrict a shipping option. We use the UPS module and a client wants to allow ground in California and 2nd Day Air everywhere else.

thank you thank you thank you!

Hello – I found your snippet and was wondering if you think I could use some version of this to do what I need to do.
My customer wants to limit shipping to the contiguous US, but we’re using two shipping classes.
A Flat Rate Class of $100 per Bass Cabinet and a Free Class for two available add-ons.
Could this snippet be modified to make that work?
Thanks so much for any help! I’m not great at code.

Very interesting aproach to solve it.

One question, I have a similar issue , and I would like to know where I have to put this code to override the woocommerce code?

In my functions.php theme?

Thanks

Thanks a bunch. That’s fantastic!

Hi,

I use 2 methods – flat rate and local pick up. Can I use this to have a product only allow local pick up?

Thanks

Is there a way to add a popup comment if they try to select a state that isn’t allowed? We are only allowed to ship our products to 4 states. The only thing displayed now is ‘Invalid shipping method’ which doesn’t make much sense.

This is a great fix for the Contiguous States shipping issue. I have been setting up a very complex affiliate program for a company running woocommerce using this other affiliate program script, http://mbsy.co/8VRzH

It’s expensive and as much as I wish there was a way to do all of these things without it, it sure does make it easy.

Cheers, J

Here’s the code I put into functions.php.
This code works, kinda. It prevents free and flat rate shipping to Alaska and Hawaii, but also prevents ALL OTHER shipping options. I would love to be able to offer to ship there, but not letting them get shipping is better than them getting flat rate or free shipping at this time. Help?

=== begin code ===

/**
* Limit the availability of this shipping method based on the destination state
*
* Restricted locations include Alaska, American Samoa, Guam, Hawaii, North Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico,
* US Minor Outlying Islands, and the US Virgin Islands
*
* @param bool $is_available Is this shipping method available?
* @return bool
*/
function grunwell_restrict_free_shipping( $is_available ) {
$restricted = array( ‘AK’, ‘AS’, ‘GU’, ‘HI’, ‘MP’, ‘PR’, ‘UM’, ‘VI’ );
foreach ( WC()->cart->get_shipping_packages() as $package ) {
if ( in_array( $package[‘destination’][‘state’], $restricted ) ) {
return false;
}
}
return $is_available;
}
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_shipping_free_shipping_is_available’, ‘grunwell_restrict_free_shipping’ );

*/
function grunwell_restrict_flat_rate( $is_available ) {
$restricted = array( ‘AK’, ‘AS’, ‘GU’, ‘HI’, ‘MP’, ‘PR’, ‘UM’, ‘VI’ );
foreach ( WC()->cart->get_shipping_packages() as $package ) {
if ( in_array( $package[‘destination’][‘state’], $restricted ) ) {
return false;
}
}
return $is_available;
}
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_shipping_flat_rate_is_available’, ‘grunwell_restrict_flat_rate’ );

=== end code ===

Not working with WooCommerce 2.2.11

Worked great… until WooCommerce 2.6
