How does Address Ninja handle addresses with missing or non-standard postal codes?

John Speed·Published · Last updated help

There are no custom postal code validation rules but you can use the ZIP / Postal Code Format Validation ensures that your customers enter ZIP / postal codes in the correct format for their selected country. It uses a database of patterns to validate formats like USA (12345), Canada (K1A 0A6), UK (SW1A 1AA), and many more. This helps prevent shipping issues caused by malformed ZIP / postal codes and ensures addresses are properly formatted for each country's postal system.
