Hello, I am trying to configure a VM2 cart to be able to say basically that an item is only for in store pick-up. Unfortunately I cant seem to find a way to limit shipping based off of a product. I found that I can change shipment options based on user type, but there seems no way to do this based on the product. I am wondering if I am just missing something or if anyone has a suggestion on how I could do it. Plug in or something. I am using the UPS for basically all products excepting a few witch need to be In Store Pickup only. All other products can have both options.
My VM ver # 2.0.20b
My J! ver # 2.5.7
Forgive my naivite as I am rather new to VM2.
I think the best way would be to make the weight of the in-store items only 0.001, and then set up a shipping method called "In Store Pickup" that will kick in for items with that weight. Items that are to be shipped have weight greater than that, I assume.
Biggest challenge will be mixed purchases of shipped and pickup items. Not sure how confusing the shipping part of the checkout may be for your customers without some customization.
our new virtuemart mailordermanager will handle instore pickup, and can even work as a POS system
you can find it at virtuemartmailordermanager.com, or madeforjoomla.com
my phone number is on the websites if you want to talk

Basically I think you should use a store pickup extension which will help you solve the problem of distinguishing the in-store pickup products and other types of products.
Eventually it will save you more time and efforts. I only see one and only store pickup extension available in the Virtuemart marketplace now. Why don't give it a try. It seems to have everything you need :D Here is the link: https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/store-pickup-for-virtuemart/
