Get customers postal code upfront?

[SDBdigital]

Hi 

i have an issue - some of our products can only be delivered to specific postal codes/areas. And even though we state this on the product page people still order the items when they are in different areas.

And even though I can setup different shipping profiles for certain products - the issue remains that customers add the limited delivery items to their cart.

Ideally I dont want them to be able to see or add the products to their cart - or to somehow get their postal code before going to checkout.

This site has exactly what I want - but it's a wordpress site: https://www.caughtonline.co.za

Any suggestions?

Hi, @SDBdigital.

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your question!

Within the Shopify App Store, I found the following apps that may fit the description of what you're looking for.

Easy Zipcode Check & Validate allows you to add zip code/pin code / postal code validation as a popup, homepage section or a widget on your other pages (ex. Product page) that asks buyers to enter their zip code and validate that delivery is available in their region to make sure you have a right audience. Prior to installing, you can view how the app works in this demo store here.

Screenshot of Easy Zipcode Check & Validate:

Ens Zip Code Validator displays on the product page only. The Add to Cart and Buy it Now buttons will be disabled if the zip code is entered. This prevents customers from navigating to the checkout or cart page. The validator can be enabled for all products or for any specific collection. You can view how the app operates through this demo store here.

Additionally, you can also browse the Shopify App Store for additional postal code app options that best suit your business needs.

I hope this helps!

That looks brilliant - thank you

No problem, @SDBdigital.

Glad to help. Let us know if you have additional questions.

Victoria. The app works great, but the zip code field restrictions the number of characters, which restricts the number of zip codes. Is there a way to hard code this to get past the limit of the text box ?

Hi, @rccraft.

Thank you for joining the thread.

Are you able to clarify if you're referring to Easy Zipcode Check & Validate or ENS ZIP/PIN Code Validator?

You may want to get in touch with the app developer to explore this and see if adjusting the code to get past the limit of the text box is possible. You can request support from the app's developer either from the Apps section of the Shopify admin, or on the app's listing page on the Shopify App Store. We've included steps on how to contact an app developer in our Support For Third-Party Apps resource.
