How to Show Shipping Cost on Product Page

Shipping doesn’t get calculated until cart/checkout. If you want to show a quote for shipping on a product page, add the the short/long description.

Hi Mike,

I understand that shipping normally isn’t calculated until checkout. However, for my current project I need to show flat rate shipping on the product page.

I’m not sure what you mean by, “add the the short/long description.”

In lieu of using built-in functionality, I wrote this function to obtain an individual product’s shipping cost for the Flat Rate shipping method (does not work with fees, defaults to 1 quantity):

function wc_get_flat_rate_shipping_cost( $product_object ) {

	$flat_rate_settings	= maybe_unserialize( get_option( 'woocommerce_flat_rate_settings' ) );

	$base_rate 			= isset( $flat_rate_settings['cost'] ) ? $flat_rate_settings['cost'] : 0;

	$key				= 'class_cost_' . $product_object->get_shipping_class();
	$class_rate			= isset( $flat_rate_settings[$key] ) ? $flat_rate_settings[$key] : 0;
	$class_rate			= str_replace( '[qty]', 1, $class_rate );
	$class_rate			= str_replace( '[cost]', $product_object->price, $class_rate );
	$class_rate			= (int)$class_rate;

	$total = ( isset( $base_rate ) && isset( $class_rate ) ) ? $base_rate + $class_rate : 0;

	return $total;

}

Unless there is a function that I should be using from the WC_Shipping or WC_Shipping_Flat_Rate classes, I will mark this as resolved.

There is no dedicated function in core for this, so your custom solution should be fine.

If you know your shipping method, let’s say flat_rate, you can use this:
$cost = WC_Shipping::instance()->load_shipping_methods()['flat_rate']->settings['class_cost_' . $product->get_shipping_class()];
If anyone knows a better way to do it, I’ll be happy to know.
