WooCommerce: Disallow PO BOX Shipping and Display Error
Today we take a look at the WooCommerce Checkout page and our goal is to disallow placing an order to customers that enter a PO BOX address. I don’t remember where I got this snippet from, but either way I’m glad to share it again!

wc_add_notice( 'Sorry, we do not ship to PO BOX addresses.', 'error' );
}
