Destination Controls

Adjust shipping based on where the order is going - country, region, postal code, or address type.

Postal code tiering

  • Branches on the postal code prefix to serve local delivery, remote surcharges, or standard shipping.

State-based restrictions

  • Blocks rates entirely when restricted SKUs ship to prohibited states.
  • Demonstrates how to return an empty array to stop Shopify from showing the rate.

Offshore surcharge

  • Adds a surcharge when shipping to non-continental regions.
  • Keeps the same base service for all other destinations.

PO box filtering

  • Always offers a PO-box-safe method.
  • Hides the express option when the destination is a PO box.
