Customize the list of shipping methods

Customize Checkout

This topic describes how to customize list of shipping methods displayed on the checkout page.

Let’s consider a case where you need to add a collapsible text field with description for each shipping method in this list. To achieve this, you need to take the following steps:

  1. Create a new template for the shipping method item.
  2. Create a new template for the shipping method list.
  3. Override the shipping step configuration.

Step 1: Create new template for shipping method item

In your custom module directory, create a new file: <your_module_dir>/view/frontend/web/template/custom-method-item-template.html. In this file, add the following code.

It is copied from the <Magento_Checkout_module_dir>/view/frontend/web/template/shipping-address/shipping-method-item.html template, with the following modifications:

  • A <tr> element added to contain the shipping method description
  • A column with trigger elements that provide the collapse/expand functionality added
  • The entire sample wrapped in <tbody> to provide the general collapsible context for rows

<!-- Initialize collapsible binding -->
<tbody collapsible="as: '$collapsible_' + method.method_code">
    <tr class="row">
        <td class="col col-method">
            <input type="radio"
                   class="radio"
                   click="element.selectShippingMethod"
                   ifnot="method.error_message"
                   ko-checked="element.isSelected"
                   ko-value="method.carrier_code + '_' + method.method_code"
                   attr="'aria-labelledby': 'label_method_' + method.method_code + '_' + method.carrier_code + ' ' + 'label_carrier_' + method.method_code + '_' + method.carrier_code,
                        'checked': element.rates().length == 1 || element.isSelected" />
        </td>
        <td class="col col-price">
            <each args="element.getRegion('price')" render="" />
        </td>
        <td class="col col-method"
            attr="'id': 'label_method_' + method.method_code + '_' + method.carrier_code"
            text="method.method_title" />
        <td class="col col-carrier"
            attr="'id': 'label_carrier_' + method.method_code + '_' + method.carrier_code"
            text="method.carrier_title" />
        <!-- Column with collapsible trigger  -->
        <td class="col">
            <a toggleCollapsible="'$collapsible_' + method.method_code">
                <span data-bind="i18n: 'Info'"></span>
            </a>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <!-- Row for shipping method description -->
    <tr class="row" visible="$context['$collapsible_' + method.method_code].opened">
        <td class="col" colspan="5" i18n="'Some description.'"/>
    </tr>
    <tr class="row row-error"
        if="method.error_message">
        <td class="col col-error" colspan="5">
            <div role="alert" class="message error">
                <div text="method.error_message"></div>
            </div>
            <span class="no-display">
                <input type="radio"
                       attr="'value' : method.method_code, 'id': 's_method_' + method.method_code" />
            </span>
        </td>
    </tr>
</tbody>

Step 2: Create new template for shipping methods list

In your custom module directory, create a new file: <your_module_dir>/view/frontend/web/template/custom-method-list-template.html. In this file, add the following code. It uses the code from the app/code/Magento/Checkout/view/frontend/web/template/shipping-address/shipping-method-list.html template, with the following modifications:

  • A column for triggers added in <thead>
  • tbody moved to the item template for collapsible context

    <table class="table-checkout-shipping-method" markdown="1"> <thead>
        <tr class="row" markdown="1">
            <th class="col col-method" translate="'Select Method'" />
            <th class="col col-price" translate="'Price'" />
            <th class="col col-method" translate="'Method Title'" />
            <th class="col col-carrier" translate="'Carrier Title'" />
            <!-- Column for triggers -->
            <th class="col" />
        </tr>
        </thead> <!-- tbody was moved inside item template --> <!-- ko foreach: { data: rates(), as: 'method'} --> <!--ko template: { name: element.shippingMethodItemTemplate} --><!-- /ko --> <!-- /ko --> </table>
</div>

Step 3: Override shipping step configuration

In your custom module directory, create a new file: <your_module_dir>/view/frontend/layout/checkout_index_index.xml. In this file, add the following code.

It overrides the shippingMethodListTemplate and shippingMethodItemTemplate properties of <Magento_Checkout_module_dir>/view/frontend/web/js/view/shipping.js:
