Free shipping is offered although min price not reached

I fixed it for our site with this filter:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_package_rates', function ( $rates ) {
  $notfree = array();
  foreach ( $rates as $rate_id => $rate ) {
    if ( 'free_shipping' !== $rate->method_id ) {
      $notfree[ $rate_id ] = $rate;
      break;
    }
  }
  return ! empty( $notfree ) ? $notfree : $rates;
}, 100 );

This works, because the weight based shipping already has a limit, so that it is not offered for cart values above 50€.

Hi @dermartin85,

I’m glad to hear that you were able to resolve your issue with the ‘woocommerce_package_rates’ filter. Your solution looks perfect for limiting the ‘free_shipping’ method when the weight-based shipping has a limit.

I’ll go ahead and mark this thread as solved now, but I’d like to thank you for your contribution to the solution, this will highly benefit the community.

We now found another representation of the error. When the Price reached 100€ no shipping was showing. I deactivated my code to see if it had any effect, but it didn’t. I suspected there is some kind of wrong comparison between the total cart price and the threshold and took another look at the minimum price set for free shipping and noticed that the price is set in german notation. We use a comma where in english you use the dot and vice versa. So I removed the “,00” after the 50 and hit save. After saving the mask still showed the price as “50,00”, but it worked and now my workaround code is not needed either.

So the Problem seems to only appear if you have set the price in the past and then updated woocommerce.
