Shipping Address Conditions

Shipping Address conditions let you trigger rules based on where the customer is shipping to. These are among the most commonly used conditions for geo-based payment and shipping customizations.

Combining conditions

Not every condition can be combined with every other in a single rule. Payflow filters the picker automatically. See Condition Sets for details.

Address must be entered first

Shipping address conditions are evaluated against the address the customer enters at checkout. If the customer hasn’t entered an address yet, these conditions will not match and the rule will not apply.

Shipping country

Condition key: shippingCountry

Checks whether the shipping destination country matches any of the selected countries. Only countries that your store is configured to ship to are available for selection.

Operators: Is one of, Is not any of

Shipping country is evaluated after the address

Shipping country only applies once the customer has entered a valid, complete shipping address at checkout. Before that step, rules that rely on it do not match—so payment methods, renames, and similar customization may not reflect the final destination early on. If you need region-based rules as soon as checkout opens and your store uses Markets aligned with countries (for example one market per country), Shopify Market is often the better condition; see Localization conditions for how it differs.

Use cases:

• Show COD only for domestic orders
• Hide expensive payment methods for international orders
• Apply different shipping rates per region
• Restrict certain payment providers to supported countries

Example: Show a bank transfer option only for Czech Republic and Slovakia:

• Condition: Shipping country → Is one of → Czech Republic, Slovakia

State / Province

Condition key: provinceCode

Checks the state or province the customer is shipping to. Payflow automatically loads the provinces for the countries your store ships to — you select from a modal window rather than entering codes manually.

Operators: Is one of, Is not any of

Tip

Only the provinces relevant to your store’s active shipping countries are shown. There’s no need to look up ISO codes.

Use cases:

• Restrict COD to certain US states
• Offer local delivery only in specific provinces

---

Shipping city

Condition key: shippingCity

Checks whether the shipping city matches your specified value(s).

Operators: Is one of, Is not any of, Text contains, Text does not contain

Use cases:

• Show local pickup for orders destined to your city
• Hide a specific shipping method for cities with known delivery issues

Tip

City names are case-insensitive but must otherwise match exactly when using “Is one of”. Use “Text contains” for partial matches (e.g. “London” would match “London” and “East London”).

Shipping postcode

Condition key: shippingPostcode

Checks the shipping postcode/ZIP code. All spaces are automatically removed before matching, so SW1A 1AA and SW1A1AA are treated identically.

Operators: Is one of, Is not any of, Text contains, Text does not contain

Use cases:

• Restrict COD or local delivery to specific postcode areas
• Hide express shipping for postcodes in remote areas
• Apply surcharges via delivery customization for certain postcodes

Example: Show local delivery only for London postcodes:

• Condition: Shipping postcode → Text contains → E, N, W, SE, SW, EC, WC

Many values at once

You can paste or type several postcodes or fragments in one field, separated by commas (same pattern as other list-style inputs in Payflow). Watch the Data limit indicator in the editor: each customization has a 10 KB cap on stored rule data — very long lists of postcodes, tags, or similar values add up quickly. See Limitations.

First name

Condition key: firstName

Checks the first name on the shipping address.

Operators: Is one of, Is not any of, Text contains, Text does not contain, Is empty, Is not empty

Use cases:

• Rarely used directly, but can support custom B2B flows where names carry specific markers

Address line 2

Condition key: address2

Checks the second line of the shipping address. This field may not be visible in all checkout configurations.

Operators: Is one of, Is not any of, Text contains, Text does not contain, Is empty, Is not empty

Company

Condition key: company

Checks whether the company name field at checkout contains a value. Useful for distinguishing B2B from B2C orders when not on Shopify Plus.

Shipping method name

Condition key: shippingMethod
