The plugin offers some useful filters, using which you can hide WooCommerce shipping methods. Based on the filters configured, the shipping methods will be hidden in the cart and checkout pages.
The filter settings are as shown below.
Shipping Class: Select one or more shipping classes that you have created in your WooCommerce shipping settings. Or you can choose to select products with no shipping class as well.
Product Category: Select one or more WooCommerce product categories. When products in the selected categories are added to the cart, the shipping methods will be automatically hidden.

>= – Greater than or equal to the specified weight
<= – Less than or equal to the specified weight
== – Equal to the specified weight
|| – Between the specified minimum and maximum total order weight
All – For all the products regardless of order weight.

The plugin allows you to hide three things:
WooCommerce Default Shipping Methods
WooCommerce Premium Shipping Methods
Selected Services from Premium Shipping Methods
Shipping Methods: Select desired shipping methods to hide. The shipping method IDs – flat_rate, free_shipping, and local_pickup for WooCommerce default shipping methods are listed by default. If you have activated other premium shipping plugins for DHL Shipping, USPS Shipping, and so on, the shipping method ID will be listed here automatically.
Shipping Options: If you want to hide a specific service from your premium shipping method, you can add the HTML value (see “How to get HTML value of an element?” in the following section for reference) of the desired shipping service. You can add multiple services by separating them with commas.
Rule Name: Enter a suitable rule name to identify each rule distinctively.
