# Default shipping method

 * We have 2 shipping methods in our shop – flat rate and free local pickup.
    For
   new customers, the flat rate is preselected, so far so good. If a customer has
   once selected the local pickup, this will further on be preselected. So if next
   time he wants to have the items delivered to his address, he will very likely
   overlook and order without shipping cost. I suppose this is a cookie issue. But
   maybe someone has a solution. It would be enough to have the flat rate preselected
   for each customer, both new and recurring.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdefault-shipping-method-4%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello,
 * You can apply [this code](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46703267/set-flat-rate-shipping-method-as-default-in-woocommerce/#answer-46704289)
   to preselect Flat Rate for both new and recurring customers.
 * I would recommend using a plugin like [Code Snippets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/)
   to add the snippet to your site.
