Last updated on January 19, 2023 @ 5:58 pm

If you’re using WooCommerce to sell products online, you may want to disable shipping for certain products. This can be done by creating a shipping category and then assigning products to that category. Here’s how:

1. First, create a shipping category. To do this, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping Categories. From here, you can add a new shipping category by clicking the “Add Shipping Category” button.

2. Next, assign products to this category. To do this, go to WooCommerce > Products. From here, edit the product that you want to assign to the shipping category. On the “Shipping” tab, you’ll see a field for “Shipping Category”. Select the shipping category that you created from the dropdown menu.

3. Finally, disable shipping for this category. To do this, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping. From here, scroll down to the “Shipping Options” section and find the setting for “Shipping Category”. Select the shipping category that you created from the dropdown menu and then select “No” from the “Enable” dropdown menu.

That’s it! You’ve successfully disabled shipping for a specific product in WooCommerce.
