I’m running into an issue where local delivery still shows as an option at checkout, even when a product is out of stock at the closest location and the “Continue selling when out of stock” setting is enabled.

Here’s what I’m trying to achieve:

  • Allow customers to purchase out-of-stock products online if they choose shipping.

  • Prevent local delivery from being shown if there’s no inventory at the local location.

Is there a way to hide local delivery dynamically based on location-specific inventory, even when “continue selling” is enabled?
I cannot find assigned location field in delivery customization RunInput query

Any help or recommendations would be appreciated!
