Shipping by zip code - Can I require customers to enter a zip code before they get the product price

[Mary1864]

Hi.  I want to set something up that requires the customer to enter their zip code before they see the product pricing.  Is there an app for that?  Does anyone know of an expert that can do it?

Thanks!

There are various 'Shipping Rate Calculator' apps available in the app store. One I see off hand is "All-in-One Shipping Calculator" but I would assume you would have to set up some shipping profiles in your settings.

Hi @Mary1864 

Thanks for reaching out here - welcome to the Shopify Community!

I can understand why you might want to have this sort of feature on your store. Would you want the prices to appear differently depending on the customers location, or would the prices be the same for all customers, but only appear to customers in eligible locations?

There are a few apps available on the Shopify App Store that can handle this functionality. These apps are designed to add a layer of customization on top of the basic Shopify functionality, and in this case, they can help you create a 'zip code lookup' wherein the customer enters their zip code before they see the product pricing. Here are a few options that you may want to consider:

1. Zipcode checker & validater - This app allows you to validate and restrict orders based on zip codes. It asks buyers to enter their zip code and validate that delivery is available in their region to make sure you have the right audience.

2. Webrex ‑ Pricing By Country - This app is not zip code based but it facilitates the setting of country-specific pricing for products, alongside shipping costs and taxes. The app uses Automatic IP-Based Country Detection to identify customers' locations and to display prices in local currencies.

3. Zipcode Checker ‑ Zippy - This app validates zip code serviceability for your online store. Customers can quickly verify if a product is available in their area by entering their zip code, while store owners can customize complex zip code logic as per their requirements.

Alternatively, if you need additional assistance with setting up your store to require customers to enter their zip codes before they see product pricing, you may want to consider reaching out to a Shopify Expert. Shopify Experts are experienced developers and designers who can help you with a variety of tasks, including store setup and customization. To find an Expert, simply click the link above to browse the directory of Experts available in your region, and choose one that suits your needs.

Feel free to share more information on the type of products you sell, and more context on why you intend to add this feature to your store, and I would be happy to help provide some more resources or possibly make other recommendations.
