   U.S. Zipcodes can be either 5 digits (base) or 9 digits (extended). In Woocommerce a U.S. Zip code entry (either billing or shipping) that is not 5 digits in length will cause a tax error. I want to prevent users from entering anything than 5 numeric digits into the billing and shipping Zip fields. We ship only within the continental U.S. so handling other zip formats other than 5 numeric characters is not a concern. I’m told this has to be done in functions.php which I am not qualified to do. Can you help?

   Hi Bob

   Thanks for reaching out
   Use a plugin called Code Snippets

   Code Snippets

   And add this code after creating a new snippet

   function soma_validate_us_zip() {
   $billing_zip = isset( $_POST[‘billing_postcode’] ) ? $_POST[‘billing_postcode’] : ”;
   $shipping_zip = isset( $_POST[‘shipping_postcode’] ) ? $_POST[‘shipping_postcode’] : ”;

   $regex = ‘/^\d{5}$/’;

   if ( ! preg_match( $regex, $billing_zip ) ) {
   wc_add_notice( ‘Please enter a valid 5 digit billing Zip code’, ‘error’ );
   }

   if ( ! preg_match( $regex, $shipping_zip ) ) {
   wc_add_notice( ‘Please enter a valid 5 digit shipping Zip code’, ‘error’ );
   }
   }
   add_action( ‘woocommerce_checkout_process’, ‘soma_validate_us_zip’ );

   Let us know if this works

   Best Regards

   Hi Bob

   You need to change the single quote to ‘

   Updated code

   function soma_validate_us_zip() {
$billing_zip = isset( $_POST['billing_postcode'] ) ? $_POST['billing_postcode'] : ";
$shipping_zip = isset( $_POST[‘shipping_postcode’] ) ? $_POST[‘shipping_postcode’] : ";
$regex = '/^\d{5}$/';
if ( ! preg_match( $regex, $billing_zip ) ) {
wc_add_notice( 'Please enter a valid 5 digit billing Zip code', 'error' );
}
if ( ! preg_match( $regex, $shipping_zip ) ) {
wc_add_notice( 'Please enter a valid 5 digit shipping Zip code', 'error' );
}
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_process', 'soma_validate_us_zip' );

   Best Regards
