Feature Request: Enable Local Delivery Rules Based on Product Inventory and Shipping Profiles

[justbuno]

Hello Shopify Team and Community,

I’d like to request a feature enhancement for Shopify’s local delivery functionality. Currently, local delivery is tied to locations and applies universally to all products available at that location. However, there’s no native way to:

1. Automatically disable local delivery for out-of-stock products.
2. Create shipping profiles specifically for local delivery to manage product-specific rules.

Why This Feature Matters:

• Improved Customer Experience: Customers won’t mistakenly select local delivery for products that aren’t eligible or in stock, reducing confusion and frustration at checkout.
• Operational Efficiency: Merchants can streamline their fulfillment process by ensuring local delivery is only offered for products that meet specific criteria, such as inventory availability.
• Flexibility for Merchants: Adding shipping profiles for local delivery would allow merchants to set tailored rules, such as offering local delivery for certain product categories or price ranges.

Proposed Solutions:

1. Allow merchants to create shipping profiles specifically for local delivery, similar to how shipping zones and rates are managed.
2. Introduce an option to automatically disable local delivery at checkout for products that are out of stock or unavailable at the local delivery location.
