When you only offer one shipping option in WooCommerce then you may want to show only the shipping cost in the column of the order totals. If you’re using my Advanced Shipping plugin you’ll notice that when you leave the ‘Shipping title’ field empty it will fall back to a standard ‘Shipping’ as a title.

This is done purposefully because WooCommerce doesn’t handle it nicely when no shipping title has been entered. For example at the cart/checkout it will remain showing a colon (:) in from of the cost without a real reason.

To fully make things work nicely without a actual shipping label you’ll need a couple code snippets to do so. For starters you can use this code snippet to remove the shipping label and colon from the cart/checkout

Order emails

The order emails also need a bit of work because they are also counting on having a shipping label available to show. If you go with the above it will look like this;

This is because the shipping label is in fact still ‘Shipping’, we’ve just modified the label to not show at a certain time. Now we extend that to also the emails by using this one line of code:

The result

Now it will only show the the shipping cost and omit the shipping title.

At the checkout:

And in the email:

How to remove cost and only show label like i.e. Via : Free Shpping or Via: UPS

So, Email will only show the label not the cost as I am providing free shipping but everytime it’s adding something like $0 VIA FULL PAYMENT or $0 VIA FREE SHIPPING.

I would like to keep VIA FULL PAYMENT or VIA FREE SHIPPING but don’t want to show price as it’s creating confusion for some customer and getting questions for that from them.

Hi Jeroen,

Possible to just remove the colon and the space instead?

Tried to use return substr( $label, 0, -2 ); but it doesn’t work.

Hi Sven,

Try str_replace( ‘: ‘, ”, $label ); instead, that should remove any colon+space from the label.

Cheers,
Jeroen

Hi Jeroen,

Thanks for sharing this filter! Do you have also a filter to hide the: (includes 3.12 tax) part? I tried by adding this filter: ‘add_filter(woocommerce_tax_total_display’, ‘__return_false’ ); but unfortunately this filter didn’t do his job.
