How To Auto Select Shipping Method in Magento 2

Do you wish to enable Magento 2 auto select shipping method?😃

In Magento 2, it is possible to configure multiple shipping methods. On the checkout page, the customers can select their preferred shipping method and proceed further. In this stage, the customers may re-think about purchasing the product if the selected shipping method is too costly. This may also add friction along the customer’s path to conversion.

Pre-selecting the most-convenient shipping method on the checkout page can make things better. Recently, I came across such a requirement of one of our clients. The client wanted to pre-select a specific payment method in Magento 2 for orders exceeding $100 order total.

In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to auto select shipping method in Magento 2. 📦

Method to Auto Select Shipping Method in Magento 2

  1 2 3 4 5

  if (ratesData.length === 1) {         //set shipping rate if we have only one available shipping rate         selectShippingMethodAction(ratesData[0]);         return; }
