Display Store Products Based on User Postal Code

[donjondodi]

Hello everyone! I was wondering if there is a way (app or otherwise) to only display certain products of my store based on the user's inserted postal code from a Welcome Popup?

It would be great if it would work something like this:

1. User enters their postal code when visiting my store (they can also change their postal code if they want). 

2. Products are displayed based on their postal code

3. The availability of products can be managed by adding tags or by CMS.

Appreciate your thoughts and feedback!

Hi, I dont think this is a native Shopify functionality. Also, not really sure which App can help you achieve this exact solution. 

What i see brands often do is show a postal code box on the product page itself to check for availability. Would that solution be useful for you? I am sure there are many apps which can help you power this. It also showcases your wide range of products to users (who might not directly buy it) but maybe they might share it with someone else who's interested in buying.

Hi Vipul, thanks for your insight and you are right, we should also consider if hiding the products will not hurt us in the end. I will explore the availability option further as you suggested.

hello @donjondodi 
it is possible via custom solution like once customer enter the postal code it will save on cookies and we need to add postal code or list of codes to product metafield also so when visit store by customer it will match the postal code saved in cookies is available on product's metafield or no and show the product or list of products.

Hi @donjondodi  without an app or advanced theme customizations the minimum is:

• tag products with zipcodes so they show in search
• use metafields for collection filters with the shopify search and discovery app. https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/customizing-themes/storefront-filters 
• use a content gating app with geo-ip features like locksmith

Then for a better experience customize the theme such as making a secondary search relabeling everything as being postcode based.

Or showing postcodes as a selection that then generates a link to the specific collection filtering.

etc etc etc
