Magento: Remove Shipping Method form Checkout

If in any case need to remove the Shipping Method from the site, then Now easily remove that by macking change in following steps,

For Remove Shipping Methods you need to change its function

This code is working for me in 1.7.0.2 but you can try this for older version also

A) Open Mage/checkout/controllers/Onepagecontroller.php

In this File Go to on “function saveBillingAction() “

Check this line in this function and change

From

elseif (isset($data['use_for_shipping']) && $data['use_for_shipping'] == 1) {
$result['goto_section'] = ‘shipping_method’;
$result['update_section'] = array(
‘name’ => ‘shipping-method’,
‘html’ => $this->_getShippingMethodsHtml()
);

To

elseif (isset($data['use_for_shipping']) && $data['use_for_shipping'] == 1) {
$result['goto_section'] = ‘payment’;
$result['update_section'] = array(
‘name’ => ‘payment-method’,
‘html’ => $this->_getPaymentMethodsHtml()
);

B) Now, In Onepagecontroller.php

Go to on this function “public function saveShippingAction()”

change this function

From

public function saveShippingAction()
{
if ($this->_expireAjax()) {
return;
}
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
$data = $this->getRequest()->getPost(‘shipping’, array());
$customerAddressId = $this->getRequest()->getPost(‘shipping_address_id’, false);
$result = $this->getOnepage()->saveShipping($data, $customerAddressId);

if (!isset($result['error'])) {
$result['goto_section'] = ‘shipping_method’;
$result['update_section'] = array(
‘name’ => ‘shipping-method’,
‘html’ => $this->_getShippingMethodsHtml()
);
}
$this->getResponse()->setBody(Mage::helper(‘core’)->jsonEncode($result));
}
}

To

public function saveShippingAction()
{
if ($this->_expireAjax()) {
return;
}
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
$data = $this->getRequest()->getPost(‘shipping’, array());
$customerAddressId = $this->getRequest()->getPost(‘shipping_address_id’, false);
$result = $this->getOnepage()->saveShipping($data, $customerAddressId);

if (!isset($result['error'])) {
$result['goto_section'] = ‘payment’;
$result['update_section'] = array(
‘name’ => ‘payment-method’,
‘html’ => $this->_getPaymentMethodsHtml()
);
}
$this->getResponse()->setBody(Mage::helper(‘core’)->jsonEncode($result));
}
}

C) After that Open Code/core/mage/sales/model/service/Quote.php

Find this function ” protected function _validate() “

Here comment below code

if ($addressValidation !== true) {
Mage::throwException(
Mage::helper(‘sales’)->__(‘Please check shipping address information. %s’, implode(‘ ‘, $addressValidation))
);
}
$method= $address->getShippingMethod();
$rate = $address->getShippingRateByCode($method);
if (!$this->getQuote()->isVirtual() && (!$method || !$rate)) {
Mage::throwException(Mage::helper(‘sales’)->__(‘Please specify a shipping method.’));
}

D) Open file code/core/mage/checkout/block/onepage/shipping/Method.php

This is hide the Shipping Method tab from the Onepage checkout during Place the order

Find below function

public function isShow()
{
return !$this->getQuote()->isVirtual();
}

Change it with

public function isShow()
{
return false;
}

Now, Finally you can check that your Shipping Method will remove from your site.
