The Visibility Settings enable you to control precisely who can view a specific shipping option on your store’s cart/checkout page.
What This Visibility Setting Is For
It exists because many stores need flexibility. For example, you may want to:
- Hide premium shipping from non-registered users
- Offer low-cost options to first-time or guest buyers
- Display universal shipping options that anyone can use
In short, this setting gives you fine-grained control over how different customers experience shipping at cart/checkout.
How to Set Your Visibility Option
Follow these steps to set up visibility for any shipping rule:
- From the Shipping Method page
- Expand the Additional Settings section
- Locate the field labeled “Who can view this shipping method?”
- Choose one of the three available options:
- Logged-In Users
- Logged-Out Users
- Everyone
- Save your changes.
Once saved, the shipping option will automatically appear only for the selected user group.
Which Option Should You Use?
Three visibility options are available, and you can choose the one that fits your scenario.
- Logged-In Users: Shows the shipping option only to customers who are signed in.
Ideal for member-only rates, loyalty pricing, or internal store customers. - Logged-Out Users: Shows the option only to visitors who are not logged in.
Useful for guest-checkout incentives or prompting users to register for better rates. - Everyone: The option becomes visible to both logged-in and logged-out users.
Best for standard shipping methods meant for all shoppers.
When to Enable Debug Mode 🐞
Turn on Debug Mode (WowShipping → Settings → Debug Mode) only when you need to diagnose a problem or verify behavior — then turn it off when you’re done.
- Shipping options aren’t appearing for the right customers (e.g., a method set to Logged-In Users shows for guests).
- Check out errors or failures that mention WowShipping, or orders stuck at shipping selection.
- When preparing a bug report for support, you’ll collect logs while the issue reproduces.
- On a staging/dev site, when building or changing complex rules.
