Hi there,
Thanks for your question!
WooCommerce Shipping does include a packing slip feature, but it is only available after a shipping label has been purchased for the order. The “Print packing slip” button appears in the shipping label interface once a label is created.
Since Local Pickup orders don’t require a shipping label, the packing slip option from WooCommerce Shipping will unfortunately not be available for those orders.
If you’d like to print packing slips for orders that don’t require shipping labels (such as Local Pickup), you would need to use a separate document plugin that can generate packing slips directly from the order page. For more details you can use this guide: https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shipping/#print-packing-slip
I hope this clarifies things!
I don’t think having two different packing slip solutions is a responsible solution.
Looking at the packing slip rendering logic, while the REST API endpoint for it requires a label ID, the rendering logic itself has catches built for scenarios where there are no label IDs, and seem like they would print a perfectly serviceable packing slip without a label.
I guess I’ll submit another feature request.
