WordPress WooCommerce: Force local pickup as the only shipping option when products in the cart require it.

woocommerce-force-shipping-pickup.php

<?php
// Force pickup as a shipping option if one or more products in the catalog is marked as pickup only.
// To do this, add a shipping class with the slug 'pickup-only' then set products with that class as required.
// Add this script to your theme's functions.php or similar.

function hideShippingWhenPickupRequired($rates, $package)
{
    foreach ($package['contents'] as $item) {
        $product = $item['data'];
        $shippingClass = $product->get_shipping_class();

        if ('pickup-only' === $shippingClass) {
            // The cart requires pickup
            return array(
               'local_pickup' => $rates['local_pickup'],
            );
        }
    }

    return $rates;
}

add_filter('woocommerce_package_rates', 'hideShippingWhenPickupRequired', 10, 2);

Here's my solution: for carts with one or more products belonging to the shipping class "Local Pickup Only" ($shipping_class_name = 'local-pickup-only'), only the local pickup location(s) (from the Local Pickup in Blocks) will appear.

Tested with WordPress 6.5.2 and WooCommerce 8.7.0.

Important: "Clear customer sessions" after implementation (WooCommerce > Status > Tools > Clear customer sessions).

// WooCommerce display only "Local pickup" location(s) (from new "WooCommerce Blocks: Local Pickup" - Settings > Shipment > "Local Pickup" tab - https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-blocks-local-pickup/) if one or more products added to the cart belong to the $shipping_class_name = 'local-pickup-only', dynamically unsets all shipping methods except those with values starting with "pickup_location:".
// Please note that the new "WooCommerce Blocks: Local Pickup" does not work with Elementor as it requires the Checkout block to enable it (as described here https://woocommerce.com/document/using-the-new-block-based-checkout/).

add_filter($hook_name='woocommerce_package_rates', $callback='woocommerce_shipping_method_local_pickup_only', $priority=10, $accepted_args=1);

function woocommerce_shipping_method_local_pickup_only( $rates ) {
   if ( WC() ) {

	   // Setup
	   $shipping_class_name = 'local-pickup-only';

	   $in_cart = false;

	   foreach ( WC()->cart->get_cart_contents() as $key => $values ) {
		  if ( $values['data']->get_shipping_class() === $shipping_class_name ) {
			 $in_cart = true;
			 break;
		  }
	   }

	   if ( $in_cart ) {
		  // Unset all shipping methods except for the ones with value starting with "pickup_location:"
		  foreach ( $rates as $rate_key => $rate ) {
			 if ( strpos( $rate_key, 'pickup_location:' ) !== 0 ) {
				unset( $rates[ $rate_key ] );
			 }
		  }
	   }

	   return $rates;

   }
}

For those using the "legacy" local pickup, the code below accomplishes the same goal.

// WooCommerce display only chosen $local_pickup_ids if one or more products added to the cart belong to the $shipping_class_name = 'local-pickup-only', dynamically unsets all shipping methods except for chosen $local_pickup_ids.

add_filter($hook_name='woocommerce_package_rates', $callback='woocommerce_shipping_method_local_pickup_only', $priority=10, $accepted_args=1);

function woocommerce_shipping_method_local_pickup_only( $rates ) {
   if ( WC() ) {

	   // Setup
	   $shipping_class_name = 'local-pickup-only';
	   $local_pickup_ids = array('local_pickup:38');

	   $in_cart = false;

	   foreach ( WC()->cart->get_cart_contents() as $key => $values ) {
		  if ( $values['data']->get_shipping_class() === $shipping_class_name ) {
			 $in_cart = true;
			 break;
		  }
	   }

	   if ( $in_cart ) {
		   // Unset all shipping methods except for $local_pickup_ids
		   foreach ( $rates as $rate_key => $rate ) {
			   if ( !in_array($rate_key, $local_pickup_ids) ) {
				   unset( $rates[$rate_key] );
			   }
			}
		}

	   return $rates;

   }
}
