WooCommerce: Limit Shipping to One State Only

WooCommerce allows you to limit shipping by countries (or “allowed” countries). However, say your business is based in Pennsylvania, USA (PA) or in one of the Australian states. You may want to limit shipping to a state only.

All you need is pasting the following code in your functions.php

WooCommerce 3.0+ Snippet

Since WooCommerce 3.0, “get_shipping_state()” replaces “shipping_state” function:

/**

 * @how-to        Get CustomizeWoo.com FREE
 * @sourcecode    https://businessbloomer.com/?p=309
 * @author        Rodolfo Melogli
 * @testedwith    WooCommerce 3.2.1
 */

function bbloomer_only_ship_to_pa( $rates, $package ) {
global $woocommerce;
$excluded_states = array( 'AL','AK','AS','AZ','AR','CA','CO','CT','DE','DC','FL','FM','GA','GU','HI','ID','IL','IN','IA','KS','KY','LA','ME','MH','MD','MA','MI','MN','MS','MO','MT','NE','NV','NH','NJ','NM','NY','NC','ND','MP','OH','OK','OR','PW','PR','RI','SC','SD','TN','TX','UM','UT','VT','VA','VI','WA','WV','WI','WY' );
if( in_array( WC()->customer->get_shipping_state(), $excluded_states ) ) {
	$rates = array();
}
return $rates;
}

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

WooCommerce 2.1+ Snippet

woocommerce_available_shipping_methods has been replaced with woocommerce_package_rates.

If you’re targeting a different country, you will need to take a look at the woocommerce\i18n\states.php folder inside the plugin, and then find your desired country. If states are not there, please check https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/states-not-in-core/.
