Check if specific shipping method is enabled on WooCommerce cart page

Question

In WooCommerce cart page I am using the code below to check if specific shipping method is enabled, but the condition on the if statement is always true, so it doesn't work.

    global $woocommerce;
    $shipping_methods = $woocommerce->shipping->load_shipping_methods();
    if ( $shipping_methods['free_shipping']->enabled == "yes" ) {

    }

How can I Check on cart page if specific shipping method is enabled?

Answer 1

The method enabled() will be yes if the "free_shipping" shipping method is enabled in WooCommerce shipping settings for the current shipping zone, that's why you always get "yes"…

To check that for WC_Cart object, you will use instead WC_Session related data. Here is an example for "Free shipping" shipping method:

// Get available shipping methods
$shipping_for_package_0 = WC()->session->get('shipping_for_package_0');
$found = false;

if( isset($shipping_for_package_0['rates']) && ! empty($shipping_for_package_0['rates']) ) {
    // Loop through available shipping methods rate data
    foreach( $shipping_for_package_0['rates'] as $rate ) {
        // Targeting "Free Shipping"
        if( 'free_shipping' === $rate->method_id ) {
            $found = true;
            break;
        }
    }
}

// Display availability for "Free shipping"
echo $found ? 'Free shipping is available.' : 'Free shipping is not available.';

But it will not get refreshed on cart page if the customer make changes on cart page.
