“Do you deliver to me?” is the first question a local customer has. If the answer only comes at checkout, many leave with a full cart. A postcode or address checker answers it on the front page, a product page or wherever you put it.
Postcode or full address?
| Check My PostCode | Check My Address | |
|---|---|---|
| Visitor types | A postcode | An address, with suggestions as they type |
| Checks against | Your WooCommerce shipping zones, and drawn zones if you use Shipping Zones by Drawing | Your WooCommerce shipping zones, and drawn and radius zones from Shipping Zones by Drawing |
| Google API key | Not for ordinary checks. Needed for “Use my location” and the map | Needed (Maps JavaScript, Places and Geocoding APIs) |
| Fits | Areas that follow postcodes | Drawn zones, a radius, areas where a postcode is not precise enough |
| Price | From $29 a year | From $29 a year |
What the visitor sees
- Whether you deliver to the postcode or address.
- Optionally the lowest delivery price, calculated with the products in the cart.
- Optionally a “Use this address at checkout” box, so they do not type it twice.
Add a checker to your shop
- Install Check My PostCode or Check My Address and open its settings under WooCommerce → Settings.
- Make sure your WooCommerce shipping zones are right. The checker gives the same answer as the checkout.
- In the block editor, add the Check My PostCode or Check My Address block from the WooCommerce category, or use the shortcode.
- Set the texts, the layout and the colors per block, and whether to show the price.
With drawn delivery zones
If postcodes are too blunt for your area, draw it with Shipping Zones by Drawing. Check My Address then checks the exact address against the drawn zones. Shipping Zones by Drawing and Check My Address are also sold together.
Questions
Does the checker match the WooCommerce block checkout?
Yes. The blocks use the WooCommerce Store API, so the answer matches what the checkout offers.
Does Food Online have its own check?
Yes. Food Online Premium includes an address and postcode check on its ordering page, so restaurants do not need a separate checker.
Can I have several checkers on one page?
Yes. Each form works on its own, and each block has its own settings.
