Disable all shipping methods for B2B users

Hi there,

While it’s technically possible to disable shipping methods per group in B2BKing -> Groups, this would prevent orders from being placed completely, which isn’t ideal.

Based on your goal of contacting customers later to confirm delivery, I believe the best solution may be to use B2BKing’s Invoice Payment Gateway (available in the premium version): https://woocommerce-b2b-plugin.com/docs/invoice-payment-gateway/

This would allow you to:

1. Let customers place orders without immediate payment
2. Review the orders and add appropriate shipping costs
3. Contact customers to finalize the order details

As a practical implementation, you could:

• Create a “free shipping” method and rename it to something like “Shipping to be calculated later”
• This would show during checkout, making it clear to customers that shipping details will be confirmed separately
• Use the invoice gateway to manage the complete order process

Let me know if I can help,

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi again,

B2BKing actually uses its own internal group system rather than traditional WordPress roles. However, I can provide you with a code snippet that will help you check the user’s B2BKing group and apply specific functionality based on that:

$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$is_b2b = get_user_meta($user_id, 'b2bking_b2buser', true);
if ($is_b2b === 'yes'){
    $group_id = intval(get_user_meta($user_id, 'b2bking_customergroup', true));
    $group_name = get_the_title($group_id);

    if (strtolower($group_name) === strtolower('Resellers')){
        // your code for users in the Resellers group here

    }

    if (strtolower($group_name) === strtolower('VIP Users')){
        // your code for users in the VIP users group here

    }
}

You can use this code as part of a custom PHP code snippet, to apply different code for different user groups.

If you prefer to use traditional WordPress roles instead, we actually have a guide that shows how to create a WordPress role for each B2BKing group: https://woocommerce-b2b-plugin.com/docs/how-to-use-wp-roles-with-b2bking/

Let me know if you need any clarification!

Kind regards,

Hi again,

Currently, B2BKing doesn’t have a built-in feature for sub-groups or roles within a specific group. The smallest organizational unit available is a group itself.

As a workaround, you would need to create separate groups to achieve this kind of differentiation. For example, instead of having just “Resellers”, you could create groups like:

• Resellers-Gold
• Resellers-Silver
• Resellers-Bronze

Each of these groups can then have their own specific rules, pricing, and functionality applied to them.

Kind regards,
Stefan
