Postcode / ZIP

Exact codes, wildcards and numeric ranges, with the exact syntax.

Operators: Matches any of, Does not match.

Add codes one at a time: type a code, then press Enter or a comma. You can also paste a list separated by commas or new lines.

Syntax

  • Exact: 2000 matches only 2000.

  • Wildcard: 20* matches anything starting with 20 (2000, 2010, 2099…). The * only works at the end.

  • Range: 2000:2234 matches every number from 2000 to 2234. Use a colon, not a hyphen. 2000-2234 won't work.

Spaces and upper/lower case are ignored, so m5v 2t6 matches M5V2T6.

Each code you add shows a range or wildcard badge when it's recognised as one. No badge means it only matches that exact code, so if 2000-2234 has no badge, it isn't being treated as a range.

A Postcode / ZIP condition with an exact code, a range and a wildcard added

Examples

  • Sydney metro (AU): 2000:2234

  • Melbourne metro (AU): 3000:3207

  • One US ZIP area: 941*

  • A Canadian area: M5V*

  • A UK area: SW1*

Check these against your own delivery area before relying on them.

Good to know

  • Keep lists short. Shopify limits how much a discount can hold, and thousands of individual postcodes can stop it working. Use ranges and wildcards instead.

  • Ranges are numbers only. They work for numeric postcodes (Australia, the US and most of Europe) but not for letter-based ones (Canada, the UK). Use wildcards for those.

  • US ZIP+4 codes such as 94107-1234 don't match an exact 94107 or a range. Use 94107*.

  • Leading zeros are ignored in ranges, so 01000:01999 behaves like 1000:1999.

  • Before the address is entered, Matches any of doesn't match and Does not match does.
