Attributes & Variables

    I have 8 Maryland Counties as an attribute. Set up another attribute for ZIP Codes. Added variables, as an example Frederick County, 21701. However, all the ZIP Codes (for all eight counties) show up in the drop down menu (right now I just have two counties entered but used 8 for my example). How do I only get Frederick County ZIP codes to populate instead of the entire universe of ZIP Codes – I’ll have over 200 when I’ve entered them all – thanks for reading and hope someone has the answer.

    Hey there,

    It sounds like you’re adding zip codes as an attribute to each product. To better understand how to help, what’s your end goal with that?

    owever, all the ZIP Codes (for all eight counties) show up in the drop down menu

    Which dropdown menu do you need? A screenshot might be helpful here – I recommend https://snipboard.io for sharing screenshots – please follow the instructions on the page, then paste the URL in your response.

    Thanks, Hannah. I provide sign post installation servive to eight counties in Maryland. In Frederick County there are are over 20 zip codes I’d like some of those zip codes to have different pricing than the others as an example. Right now I have one price which covers each County. For example all Frederick County orders are $45 and all Montgomery County orders are $65. You are shown the price once the Attribute (County name) is selected on my website. I don’t have any variables set up except for the pricing for each county. I’d like to charge by ZIP code. In Montgomery County 20874 is ZIP for Germantown and 20855 for Rockville – ideally I’d like to set up different prices for ZIP as 20855 is further from my base – right now as they are both in Montgomery County the charge is the same (County attribute)

    Hey there,

    Thanks for that additional information – I understand that you want to set product prices based on the customer’s zipcode.

    I’d recommend against using attributes to do that, unless you’re looking to use custom code to determine the price. I’m not a developer, so I can’t offer much advice beyond that it sounds convoluted.

    I did a bit of searching and found a plugin that could help you with this: https://barn2.com/woocommerce-zipcode-pricing/

    Alternatively, if you’re using shipping, you could use shipping rates to set the extra cost. WooCommerce already knows how to set different shipping rates based on zip codes – here’s how to get started with that:

    I hope that helps you in the right direction.
