How to limit shipping rate visibility with customer data
If you have the need to control the visibility of a shipping method in the checkout, there are many different options to do that with Packrooster Shipping. One of the ways you can control the visibility is by using customer data.
Please note that only shipping methods and pickup points created directly in Packrooster Shipping can be controlled with these visibility filters. If your shipping methods are created in Shopify, only weight and order price can be used as filters.
- Open Packrooster Shipping → Settings → Shipping methods
- Either create a new shipping method or pickup point, fill in the necessary information and move forward to section 3 - Visibility at Checkout. You can also open an existing shipping method and jump straight to the section mentioned before.
At Visibility at Checkout section you will find different ways of controlling the visibility of shipping method at Shopify's Checkout. This article focuses on how to use customer data in the said configurations.
Show only to these shipping zones
With this configuration you can control how the shipping method is displayed in the Shopify Checkout depending on the shipping zone that the customer is placing their order.
If the shipping method can be displayed to all shipping zones, select none. If no selection is made, shipping method is displayed to all shipping zones by default
Allowed postal codes and blocked postal codes
You can control the visibility of shipping method based on postal codes. You can either type a full length postal code (like 80100) or just a part of it with an asterisk sign. If you use the asterisk sign, Packrooster only checks the numbers before the asterisk.
For example, this shipping method is only visible to postal codes starting with "80". Shipping method is not displayed to customers who's postal code starts with "00"
