Location conditions are the most common reason to build a customization — withdrawing options that a carrier can’t serve, or that you don’t want to offer in a particular region.

​
Available attributes

Province / State Code is only in set 2. If you need province matching alongside a postcode check (sets 1 and 3), those cannot share a rule — see Parameter Sets.

​
Postcode matching

Postcodes accept the same flexible syntax as the rates side:

​
PO Box detection

Address is a PO Box and Address is not a PO Box scan the address the customer entered for any mention of a PO Box. Most couriers won’t deliver to a PO Box, so this is how you withdraw courier options before the order is placed rather than discovering the problem in fulfilment.
Detection is text-based — it looks for mentions of a PO Box in what the customer typed. An unusually worded address may slip through, so treat it as a strong filter rather than a guarantee.

​
Shipping Method Name and Shipping Rate

These two are unusual: they match against the shipping options themselves rather than the customer.
  • Shipping Method Name — matches part of a method’s name. Lets you write rules about a family of methods.
  • Shipping Rate — matches the method’s price, numerically.

​
Country and province codes

Two-letter Shopify codes, not full names.
  • Country Code — ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (US, GB, AU, IN). Full list.
  • Province / State Code — two-letter province codes (CA, NY, VIC, MH). Full list.
