How to hide “Shipping Cost Updated” message in Cart?

The best way to do this is to simply tag each of your products as Virtual.

Here’s a Loom on how to do that.

Thank you! That’s great.

I had set most of the courses up that way previously. But the course I noticed the message on happens to have two options so it’s a variable product.

When Variable product is selected it seems that I no longer have an option to set it as a virtual product.

Is it possible to have a variable, virtual product?

Thanks

In shortcodes/class-wc-shortcode-cart.php we find

wc_add_notice( __( 'Shipping costs updated.', 'woocommerce' ), 'notice' );
In includes/wc-notice-functions.php we find, in the wc_add_notice function

// Backward compatibility.
if ( 'success' === $notice_type ) {
    $message = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_add_message', $message );
}

$message = apply_filters( ‘woocommerce_add_’ . $notice_type, $message );
So instead of using the woocommerce_add_message filter hook you can use the woocommerce_add_”$notice_type” filter hook. Where you will then compare the notice message, if this is sufficient, we return false.

So you get: (add below code in your active theme’s function.php

function ahirwp_filter_woocommerce_add_notice ( $message ) {
    // Equal to (Must be exactly the same).
    // If the message is displayed in another language, adjust where necessary!
    if ( $message == 'Shipping costs updated.' ) {
        return false;
    }   
    
    return $message;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_add_notice', 'ahirwp_filter_woocommerce_add_notice', 10, 1 );

Yes, you will do the exact same thing. Both Virtual and Download are available on any variation. Make sure you have the checkmark “used for variations” checked after adding your attributes.

@hemant-ahir Are you sure you’re in the right place?

Hello there,

If you would like to hide the store message box on the checkout, refer to this forum thread

Hope this provides clarity.
