Problems with checkoutWC

HI

I would like to report a reproducible checkout bug that appears to be caused by Woodmart’s interaction with WooCommerce shipping sessions.
Environment:
WordPress + WooCommerce (latest)
CheckoutWC (v10.3.9)
Woodmart theme
Local Pickup enabled
No caching (WP Rocket disabled during tests)
Issue:
When using CheckoutWC with Local Pickup, the checkout sometimes fails with the error:
“Shipping is a required field”
even though Local Pickup is selected and shipping address fields are hidden.
Steps to reproduce:
Add a product to cart
Go to checkout
Select Local Pickup
Fill only name + phone
Click “Place order”
Expected result:
Order is placed successfully without requiring a shipping address.
Actual result:
Checkout validation fails with “Shipping is a required field”.
Important finding:
Debug logs show that when Local Pickup is selected:
cfw_delivery_method = pickup
but WooCommerce session still contains:
chosen_shipping_methods = flat_rate:*
Because of this, WooCommerce thinks a shipping method is still active and forces shipping address validation.
Proof:
Switching to a different theme immediately fixes the issue
Same WooCommerce + CheckoutWC configuration works perfectly without Woodmart
This confirms the issue is caused by Woodmart’s checkout/shipping handling
Conclusion:
Woodmart appears to override or persist chosen_shipping_methods during AJAX checkout updates, causing WooCommerce to treat pickup orders as shipping orders.
This creates a conflict with CheckoutWC’s pickup logic.
Please investigate how Woodmart updates or caches chosen_shipping_methods during checkout, especially when Local Pickup is selected.
If needed, I can provide logs or assist with further testing.

Hello,

Please deactivate all the 3rd party plugins and activate only theme-required plugins on the site, and then check the issue. I am sure your issue will be solved. Then activate the 3rd party plugins one by one and check which plugin is creating the issue for you.

Otherwise, if the issue still exists, then keep the 3rd party plugins deactivated and share the WP login details, so I can check and give you a possible solution.

Best Regards,

Ive already done that – nothing helps
moreover – if I switch to another theme and everything works fine there
