Cash on Delivery payment method not working with flexible shipping methods

    I’ve found a problem with a default woocommerce payment gateway – cash on delivery (COD).

    In COD gateway settings page we can add shipping methods where we want to use COD gateway, and there is a position “flexible shipping”.

    1. First problem is that the algorithm to show selectbox with shipping methods is using a gateway title instead of gateway id.
    2. Due to “Shipping method” plugin in fact creates a 2 gateways – flexible_shipping and flexible_shipping_info but both have the same title – Flexible Shipping
    3. finally – even when due to point 1. – we are setting flexible_shipping_info in COD gateway settings, and we cannot set the correct shipping method.

    Working solution for me was deregister flexible_shipping_info method and then we can use correct shipping method in COD settings.

    First of all i think you should not register new shipping method only to display options page – there are other ways to achieve it,
    Second thing is that you should consider change the title of this helper shipping_method_info.

    I just wanted to inform you about the problem and solution i found ??
    Its up to you if you want to fix the problem.

    Greetings ??

    Lol, fix name conflict – which is an obvious bug – is not a premium solution.

    Luzinis, just put this code somewhere in functions.php of your theme: 

    
add_filter( 'woocommerce_shipping_methods', 'fix_cod_gateways_with_flexible_shipping', 11 );
function fix_cod_gateways_with_flexible_shipping($methods) {
    unset($methods['flexible_shipping_info']);
    return $methods;
}

    make sure PHP mode is open there. Don’t do that via wordpress theme editor in admin panel, but via code editor, of course check it on localhost first.

    Hi Bazan,

    thank you for reporting the thread. You’ve dropped the idea where the problem is.

    Responding to your comments: we fixed this by changing shipping methods creation order.

    We have released the Flexible Shipping upgrade to version 3.1. Now Flexible Shipping will be available for COD as a method for each of the shipping zones separately.
