WooCommerce: Sell to One State Only

Very similar to the “Limit shipping to one State only“, this time we want to limit the Billing to only one state. An Australian client asked me to limit their sales to the South Australia state, but the same can be applied to US, UK and all the other countries that have states.

PHP Snippet: Only Sell to One State – WooCommerce Checkout

add_filter( 'woocommerce_states', 'bbloomer_sell_one_state' );

function bbloomer_sell_one_state( $states ) {

	// Only sell to Australia > South Australia
	$states['AU'] = array(
		'SA' => __( 'South Australia', 'woocommerce' ),
	);

	return $states;
}

Where to add custom code?

You should place custom PHP in functions.php and custom CSS in style.css of your child theme: where to place WooCommerce customization?

This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101
