Problems with area spesific shipping

Hi @mariusfjeldbu,

Thanks for the feedback ??

I need to reproduce the issue on my side in order to understand what is happening.

Could you share the name of the plugin and settings you are using for the other shipping methods and “ship to this country and these zipcodes”?

Best,
Diego

thank you for the fast answear @diegoversiani !

I am not using any plugin for zipcode shipping. I am only using the shipping methods, and have zipcodes activated for my flat rate shipping. This is my “ship home” option, and the other one is “Local pickup”.

So my problem is that the “ship home” never shows up becuase the plugin asks for shipping methods after email, but this is problematic for me, since the customer haven’t had a chance, or wil not get the chance to write down shipping information.

i love the clean layout, and how this plugin work, so that’s why i have been trying to figure out a way to make it work. In my ideal world, step 2, where you choose between the delivery options, there would be a field that says “see if you qualify for shipping”, and if the zipcode you enter matches the rulesset i put in shipping methods. the shipping information would show, and if not, the “local pickup” would be the only solution.

I hope this explantion helps to make you understand what i “want”, and if i can tweak this plugin to help me with this.

Have a nice day, Diego!

Hi @mariusfjeldbu,

I get it. The problem with shipping methods, local pickup, and the shipping address subsection is that they all depend on each other.

In your case, the shipping methods depend on the zip code. For other webshops, the shipping address is not relevant if “Local pickup” is selected. So it is the problem of the chicken and the egg.

By default, Fluid Checkout will show the shipping methods first when a “Local pickup” method is available.

Currently, there are no options in the plugin settings that let you change the behavior, however, you can accomplish this by using one of the code snippets below, depending on what fits your needs.

1. You can prevent moving the shipping methods to before the shipping address using the code snippet below:

/**
 * Move the shipping methods to after the shipping address.
 */
function fluidcheckout_show_shipping_methods_after_address( $enable_option ) {
	remove_action( 'fc_output_step_shipping', array( FluidCheckout_Steps::instance(), 'output_substep_shipping_method' ), 10 );
	remove_action( 'fc_output_step_shipping', array( FluidCheckout_Steps::instance(), 'output_substep_shipping_address' ), 20 );
	add_action( 'fc_output_step_shipping', array( FluidCheckout_Steps::instance(), 'output_substep_shipping_address' ), 10 );
	add_action( 'fc_output_step_shipping', array( FluidCheckout_Steps::instance(), 'output_substep_shipping_method' ), 20 );
}
add_filter( 'wp', 'fluidcheckout_show_shipping_methods_after_address', 200 );

2. Or… you can remove all Local Pickup customizations added by Fluid Checkout with this code snippet:

/**
 * Disable Fluid Checkout local pickup features.
 */
function fluidcheckout_disabled_local_pickup_customizations( $enable_option ) {
	return 'no';
}
add_filter( 'pre_option_fc_enable_checkout_local_pickup', 'fluidcheckout_disabled_local_pickup_customizations', 10 );

Better support for Local Pickup

We have plans to add better support for “Local pickup” on the PRO version, but that will take some time to be ready.

Customization

For your “ideal world” scenario, as you described it, you can certainly accomplish that with a customized solution.

To inquire about customizations, please send us a message at support [at] fluidcheckout.com.

As an alternative, although we are lacking in the documentation about the plugin, the code is really easy to go through and any developer experienced in WooCommerce would be able to make it work for you.

I hope that helps already ??

Best,
Diego
