Launching Zipcode-Based Product Availability for Magento 2: Stop Shipping Where You Can’t Deliver
Zipcode-based product availability extension revolutionizes Magento 2 stores by validating shipping feasibility before checkout. Customers enter their zipcode on product pages to see real-time availability, estimated delivery, or restrictions—reducing cart abandonment and support tickets. Sunrise Softlabs’ zipcode-based product availability solution integrates seamlessly with CSV uploads for bulk zone management
Running eCommerce without controlling where you can actually deliver is risky.
Failed deliveries, high RTO, unhappy customers, wasted shipping costs — they all hurt your margins and your brand.
To solve this, we’ve built a powerful yet simple tool for Adobe Commerce (Magento 2):
Sunrise Softlabs – Product Zipcode Validation & Availability Control
now available on the Adobe Commerce Marketplace.
This Magento 2 extension lets you manage product availability by zipcode, right from the category page to checkout.
Why zipcode-based product availability matters
If you:
- Deliver only to specific cities or pin codes,
- Sell heavy or fragile items that some regions can’t support,
- Run hyperlocal delivery or service-based offerings,
…then you need a way to block orders from non-serviceable areas automatically.
That’s exactly what this module does — without hacks, without core overrides, and fully compatible with Magento 2.4.x and Adobe Commerce Cloud.
How the extension works (end-to-end flow)
1. Product-level zipcode configuration
On each product, you get a dedicated attribute for zipcodes:
- Leave it empty → product is available for all zipcodes
- Add comma-separated zipcodes → product is restricted to those zipcodes only
- Example:
560001,560002,560003
- Example:
This gives you SKU-level control instead of broad, storewide rules.
2. Category page: “Check Availability” before “Add to Cart”
Instead of letting customers add items blindly, the module changes how restricted products behave on the category page:
- For products with zipcode restrictions:
- “Add to Cart” is hidden
- A “Check Availability” button appears
- The shopper enters their zipcode →
- If it’s valid for that product, the Add to Cart button appears
- If not, they instantly know the product isn’t available in their area
Result:
Customers don’t waste time going to the product page or checkout only to discover, at the very end, that you don’t deliver there.
3. Product page: show Add to Cart only for valid zipcodes
On the product page, the behavior is equally smart:
- If the product has zipcode restrictions:
- Add to Cart is hidden by default
- A zipcode input box is shown
- Once the shopper enters a serviceable zipcode, the Add to Cart button appears
- For non-serviceable zipcodes, the product remains unavailable
This creates a transparent, user-friendly experience and prevents false expectations.
4. Checkout shipping validation: no loopholes
Even if a shopper manages to add products with restricted zipcodes (for example by changing their address), the module still protects you at checkout:
- During checkout, the shipping zipcode is validated against all products in the cart
- If any product is not available for that shipping zipcode:
- All shipping methods are hidden
- The order cannot proceed until the non-serviceable product is removed from the cart
This ensures clean, shippable orders only, and acts as a final safeguard.
