is there a way to add some custom flat rate shipping options in functions

Hey there, @shuangmiles! Thanks for contacting us. I’m happy to help you.

It is possible to add flat rate shipping via functions.php.

While we can’t provide support for code customization as per our support policy, we do our best to offer advice and direct you to appropriate resources.

You can visit the WooCommerce Facebook group or the #developers channel of the WooCommerce Community Slack. We’re lucky to have a great community of open-source developers for WooCommerce, and many of our developers hang out there too.

Having said that, do you mind sharing more details regarding your goal and how you want the flat fees to work?

The reason I’m asking is because it might be possible to do what you want on the default WooCommerce interface, without the need for custom code.

The more we know about it, the better so we can guide you in the right direction.

Looking forward to your reply.

Have a wonderful day!

I’m looking to do it through code because our client requires a complicated set up, we want to avoid doing a database update cause our client has multiple sites that use the same templates so if we can add these shipping options that would be preferable. I just want to show in the shipping options the radio buttons for like

Standard – $5
2 day – $19
Overnight – $29

Our client handles shipping separately so they don’t want to use anything like fedex or ups plugin. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @shuangmiles,

You can indeed add flat rate shipping options directly through your theme’s functions.php file. You can use the woocommerce_package_rates filter to manipulate the shipping methods and rates.

• https://wp-kama.com/plugin/woocommerce/hook/woocommerce_package_rates

If you still need assistance, we recommend asking development questions on the #developers channel of the WooCommerce Community Slack. Many of our developers hang out there and will be able to offer insights into your question. You can also seek help from the following:

• A local web developer
• Codeable.io
• WooExperts

I wish I could help more, but hopefully, this gets you going in the right direction to get the job done.

That helped thank you
