I am trying to set up a dimensional weight counting method when the dimensional weight (width x height x length) of the product is greater than the weight (actual weight).
I found Custom Woocommerce product weight calculation from dimensions answer code that works perfectly.
However I would like to make it works only for specific shipping method(s). Any advice or help?
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_get_weight', 'custom_get_weight_from_dimensions', 10, 2 );
function custom_get_weight_from_dimensions( $weight, $product ) {
$chosen_shipping = WC()->session->get('chosen_shipping_methods')[0];
// How to restrict to specific shipping methods?
$dim_weight = $product->get_length() * $product->get_width() * $product->get_height() / 5000;
return $dim_weight > $weight ? $dim_weight : $weight;
}
You can use the following targeting specific shipping methods only (see at the end, how to get your shipping method rate ids):
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_get_weight', 'custom_get_weight_from_dimensions', 10, 2 );
function custom_get_weight_from_dimensions( $weight, $product ) {
if ( ! is_admin() ) {
// Here set your targeted shipping method rate Ids
$targetted_shipping_ids = array( 'flat_rate:12', 'flat_rate:14' );
// Get chosen shipping method(s)
$chosen_shipping_methods = (array) WC()->session->get('chosen_shipping_methods');
$matched_shipping_methods = array_intersect( $chosen_shipping_methods, $targetted_shipping_ids );
if( ! empty($matched_shipping_methods) ) {
$dim_weight = $product->get_length() * $product->get_width() * $product->get_height() / 5000;
}
}
return isset($dim_weight) && $dim_weight > $weight ? $dim_weight : $weight;
}
Code goes in functions.php file of the active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.
How to get the shipping method rate ID:
To get the related shipping methods rate IDs, something like
flat_rate:12
, inspect with your browser code inspector each related radio button attributevalue
like:
