Can I run validation on Postal Codes / Zip Codes with Address Ninja?

John Speed·Published · Last updated help

Yes. Validate postal code format checks that customers enter the postal code in the format used by their shipping country. It uses built-in formats for 173 countries, such as 12345 for the United States, K1A 0A6 for Canada, and SW1A 1AA for the United Kingdom. The whole field must match the format. Countries with no postal code format are not checked. This helps prevent shipping issues caused by malformed postal codes.

Block postal codes lets you block specific codes, or wildcards like 900*, for each country.

Both rules are included on all plans.
