# Shipping country, province/state and Shopify Market

Location-based shipping discounts, and the address timing to know about.

## Shipping country

Matches the country in the shipping address. Operators: **Is one of**, **Is not one of**.

The list shows the countries in your Shopify shipping zones. If a country is missing, add it to a shipping zone in Shopify (**Settings → Shipping and delivery**).

## Province / State

Matches the province or state in the shipping address. Operators: **Is one of**, **Is not one of**.

The picker groups provinces by country, with search and a select-all option for each country.

**Also add a Shipping country condition.** Province matching uses the province code, and some codes exist in more than one country (for example **WA** is Western Australia and Washington). Pairing it with **Shipping country is one of Australia** removes any doubt.

### Example: free shipping in the US, except Alaska and Hawaii

-   **Shipping country** **Is one of** United States
    
-   AND **Province / State** **Is not one of** Alaska, Hawaii
    

Add any territories you also want to exclude (for example Puerto Rico, Guam, Armed Forces) to the same condition.

**Exclude the few, don't select the many.** Selecting 48 states can hit Shopify's size limit for a discount and stop it working. "Is not one of" with two states does the same job.

## Shopify Market

Matches the market the customer is shopping in. Operators: **Is**, **Is not**. You can select several markets.

Matching uses the market itself, so renaming a market doesn't break the discount.

## The address must be entered first

Location conditions use the shipping address, so until the customer enters it:

-   **Is one of** and **Matches any of** don't match yet.
    
-   **Is not one of** and **Does not match** do match.
    

So a discount can appear or disappear once the address is filled in. That's expected.

## Location vs postcode

For areas smaller than a province, such as a city or metro zone, use [Postcode / ZIP](https://rmewfqxya.us.gleap.help/en/articles/16-postcode-zip.md).
