It is compatible with all the shipping methods offered by WooCommerce and third party plugins. ### How to display Free Shipping only? Go to General section in plugin settings page. Enable the plugin and under Hide shipping methods select option to Show Free Shipping Only, hide other shipping methods. Note It’s independent of rule matrix. It will only work when Free Shipping is available during checkout. ### How to setup the plugin? Go to plugin settings page. You can navigate it from plugin page. I will try to explain it by taking a sample case? Woocommerce store info: Assume our store offer three shipping methods – Standard Delivery, Express Shipping, One Day Shipping. Case 1: I want to show One Day Shipping method to Administrator user role in the USA. To achieve it add a new rule in Rules settings page. * Select Administrator in User Role field. * Select United States in Countries field. * Select Label in Action On Shipping Method field. * Add Standard Delivery and Express Shipping methods in Shipping Methods field seperated by semicolon like – Standard Delivery ; Express Shipping. * Click on save changes. * Now go to shop page add any product and recalculate the shipping cost by changing the address, Standard Delivery and Express Shipping method won’t be shown. Case 2: I want to show Standard Delivery, Express Shipping method to Guest user role in the USA. To achieve it add a new rule in Rules settings page. * Select Guest in User Role field. * Select United States in Countries field. * Select Label in Action On Shipping Method field. * Add One Day Shipping in Shipping Methods field. * Click on save changes. * Now go to shop page add any product and recalculate the shipping cost by changing the address, One Day Shipping method won’t be shown. Here’s the video showing the above cases. ### Plugin not working after setting the plugin? If you have done the plugin setup, and you still don’t see any change in cart/checkout page then please try to recalculate the shipping cost by changing the address because by default woocommerce will show you the cached shipping methods. ### Sample Video ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3ff03cde965f99e9c133870d3be832462262b84ae5ea8f5b539f6dd9e05d860a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does what it’s supposed to!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-what-its-supposed-to-74/)󠁿 [mrv63](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mrv63/) April 23, 2024 I tried using some custom code and couldn’t get a certain shipping method to hide from regular users and guests. This plugin came to the rescue! The UI is a little confusing so here’s a tip for setup: add the user roles you want to HIDE the shipping method from. I initially tried adding the user roles I wanted the shipping method to show for. Devs are responsive and helped me fix my issue. I requested that the devs write some better documentation and try to make the UI more clear on their plugin so they’ll have to deal with less support requests. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8a0e030245906b3677298a063e53f8a2e4fa0a17b0ca88e818baeaa7bbdf8ff5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-15177/)󠁿 [fischervlada](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fischervlada/) January 6, 2023 Great free plugin! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8f50129dcf35aad9a463ed3eb69b565694ec45988d84f34aee44b96026e948b2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Don’t work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dont-work-353/)󠁿 [MarieveC](https://profiles.wordpress.org/marievec/) January 19, 2022 I’ve tried a lot of different settings, I’m unable to make it work.

I thought it was suppose to allow you to set which shipping methods to show for different roles but it’s the exact opposite. It allows you to set what shipping methods to HIDE for the role. No where is this mentioned except for the plugin tags. Once you work that out it works great, also needed to dig through the plugin images here to see what data to use for each shipping method. Mine where flat_rate:1 and flat_rate:10 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e5bbbf303873d943673b437d49a6a3741eefc028d078595889e83329a62249ae? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-5382/)󠁿 [madideas](https://profiles.wordpress.org/madideas/) July 20, 2021 Does what I need, ie different roles get different shipping prices, however could do with some documentation or something a bit nicer in setup to work out how to set the shipping rate. As my requirement is simple I could do it by guesswork. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3f0b91302a5aeee4944035764d6baa1cbf018fb0dc458c3b62f474398116ad8e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[How does it work?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-does-it-work-94/)󠁿 [Darren](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wizz99/) July 7, 2021 Does someone have any help files on this plug-in?
