I'm trying to add a new shipping method to my Woocommerce suite.
Basically I'm trying to apply two different Shipping rates to an order depending on their user role. I'm using Flat Rate as one of them, but need a custom one made.
I have tried the the shipping api to create a new class but nothing seems to shows up.
<?php namespace MySite;
use WC_Shipping_Method;
function your_shipping_method_init() {
if ( ! class_exists( 'CustomShipping' ) ) {
class CustomShipping extends WC_Shipping_Method {
/**
* Constructor for your shipping class
*
* @access public
* @return void
*/
public function __construct() {
$this->id = 'your_shipping_method'; // Id for your shipping method. Should be uunique.
$this->method_title = __( 'Your Shipping Method' ); // Title shown in admin
$this->method_description = __( 'Description of your shipping method' ); // Description shown in admin
$this->enabled = "yes"; // This can be added as an setting but for this example its forced enabled
$this->title = "My Shipping Method"; // This can be added as an setting but for this example its forced.
$this->init();
}
function init() {
// Load the settings API
$this->init_form_fields(); // This is part of the settings API. Override the method to add your own settings
$this->init_settings(); // This is part of the settings API. Loads settings you previously init.
// Save settings in admin if you have any defined
add_action( 'woocommerce_update_options_shipping_' . $this->id, array( $this, 'process_admin_options' ) );
}
/**
* calculate_shipping function.
*
* @access public
* @param mixed $package
* @return void
*/
public function calculate_shipping( $package ) {
$rate = array(
'id' => $this->id,
'label' => $this->title,
'cost' => '10.99',
'calc_tax' => 'per_item'
);
// Register the rate
$this->add_rate( $rate );
}
}
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_shipping_init', 'your_shipping_method_init' );
function add_your_shipping_method( $methods ) {
$methods[] = 'CustomShipping';
return $methods;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_shipping_methods', 'add_your_shipping_method' );
}
I use Composer to load my classes.
Aren't I supposed to see the new option in the Woocommerce Shipping settings? Any guidance appreciated.
An alternative would be the intercept the session data and just change the shipping total and taxes there. That doesn't seem to work however. Where can I find more data on where the shipping info comes from; where and when it's called?
