Custom Shipping Method is a smart move if you want to show shipping methods according to your needs using some parameters/fields in woocommerce.
To create a Custom Shipping Method, You will have to create a plugin using below code.
- Create a folder custom-shipping-method in wp-content/plugins.
- Create a file inside custom-shipping-method folder named custom-shipping-method.php and paste the code below.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Custom Shipping Method
Plugin URI: #
description: Custom Shipping Rates and Delivery
Version: 1.0

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
exit; // Exit if accessed directly
}
if (
in_array(
'woocommerce/woocommerce.php',
apply_filters('active_plugins', get_option('active_plugins'))
)
) {
//Add Custom Shipping Method
add_action( 'woocommerce_shipping_init', 'custom_shipping_method' );
function custom_shipping_method() {
if ( ! class_exists( 'Custom_Shipping_Method' ) ) {
class Custom_Shipping_Method extends WC_Shipping_Method {
/**

}- That’s It. Go to Plugin in wp-admin dashboard and Activate the plugin.
- Find plugin settings in Woocommerce >> Settings >> Shipping >> Custom Shipping.
- Test Custom Shipping Methods by Adding Products. (Remember to change country code in plugin on line no. 50 or remove it if you’re going to use it for all countries).
- You can modify the code according to your needs.
