Limit Shipping to Specific ZIP/Postcodes in Shipping Zones

You can limit shipping availability to specific ZIP/postcodes when creating or editing a Shipping Zone. This allows you to precisely define where deliveries are allowed based on postal coverage.

✅ How to Configure ZIP/Postcode Restrictions

1.Access the Shipping Zone Configuration

Go to: Payments → Settings → Shipping & Delivery → Shipping Zones

You can either:

Click “Add Zone” to create a new zone, or

Click the edit icon on an existing zone

2.Enable ZIP/Postcode Limitation

In the Edit Zone panel:

Scroll down and check: ✅ Limit Shipping to Specific ZIP/postcodes

This reveals a field to enter one or more ZIP/postcodes.

3.Enter ZIP/Postcodes

Input multiple ZIP/postcodes using commas to separate them.

You can enter:

Exact values (e.g., 100210, 122021)

Ranges using a wildcard (e.g., 56)

Example:

⚠️ Edge Cases & Validation Rules

To ensure ZIP/postcode restrictions function properly, please follow these guidelines:

✅ Correct Usage

560 – valid (matches ZIPs starting with 560 like 560001, 560102)

122 – valid (covers all ZIPs from 122000–122999)

❌ Invalid Usage

InputIssue
560❌ Asterisk must beat the end, not the beginning
560 001❌ No spaces allowed in ZIPs
560@001❌ Special characters are not allowed
,560002,,560005❌ Avoid double commas or empty entries

Important Behavior Notes

ZIP/postcodes will be matched only within the selected countries/regions

Wildcard () will only match prefixes from left to right

56 matches 560001, 561122, etc.

Does not match values with 56 in the middle or end

If a user’s shipping address doesn’t match any allowed ZIP, this zone will not apply. Shipping wouldn't show for him.

Once the zone is saved, you’ll see:

A summary of deliverable ZIPs (truncated with an ellipsis if long)

Best Practices

Test with actual ZIPs your logistics provider supports

Use separate zones for different ZIP groups and rate structures

Keep input clean: no trailing spaces or unusual characters
