Delivery to certain UK postcodes.

Hello,

I have a client here in the UK who wants her customers to order online but only deliver within a small radius. (In her van) I understand that there is a feature for this in the Advanced Commerce plan. Using the postcode function.

She also wants to set certain delivery costs depending on the village. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Many thanks

Richard

Correct. There's a fairly new feature that allows you to specify shipping zones at a more granular level. It was recently added for the UK, Australia and Canada (it was already available in the US).

What do you want to know?

Hi Paul,

Hello paul2009,

Thank you for your reply.

The current site is a custom bespoke CMS where you can add villages and the associated postcodes. (Its full of bugs and the company who designed the site no longer want to offer support)

This show the list of places (villages) There are currently 200 (in the CMS)

And this shows one village and the postcodes that fall within that village (for example)

So I would need to be able to set up something in Squaresapce.

I understand there is a limit of 99 postcodes.

This current site has way more than that.

Thank you for your help, it’s much appreciated.

Instead of adding postcodes or place names and assigning them a delivery charge, you'll do it in reverse on Squarespace. You'll create a Shipping Option (for example for the £7 charge) and then add the respective postcode "Outcodes" to that shipping zone, something like this:

There's a limit of 999 postcodes per shipping rule.

Hello, An Issue I have with adding the postcodes is you can only "HR3" which is a large area. But i need to add the full postcode which is "HR3 6LA"

So i do not think its possible to do is it?

Thanks

That's correct, you can only specify the "Outcode" element of the postcode. This consists of one or two letters, followed by one digit, two digits, or one digit and one letter, indicating the postcode "area" and postcode "district".

You cannot be more specific by adding the "Incode" for the postcode sector and delivery point, and it isn’t possible to change this behaviour with code.

Ok, do you know nay way around this or any third party plugs ins or a cms that could work? I know Wordpress/wocommerce would probably do it but prefer to use Squarespace.

Thank you by the way!

It cannot be changed with code/plugins because it is managed in the “backend” of the platform where developers cannot make changes.
