DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THE ZIP CODE IN THE CREDIT CARD SECTION AT CHECKOUT

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THE ZIP CODE IN THE CREDIT CARD SECTION AT CHECKOUT IN THE WEBSITE. WE LIVE IN AUSTRALIA AND DO NOT DEAL WITH ZIP CODES AT ALL, THE ONLY THING WE NEED WITH CREDIT CARDS ARE THE NUMBER, EXPIRY DATE AND CVV. THANKS

Hey @gcalab,

 

The presence of the Zip Code requirement is indeed one of a few features of Online Store that we're hoping to have localised for Australia, where a Post Code is not required to take a remote credit card payment. I don't have an ETA for when this may be changed, but I'll continue to pass on feedback from Australian merchants so we can hopefully better tune things to meet Australian Sellers' expectations in the future.

 

I'll post updates as soon as I hear of any changes that have been made to how this works!

Hi! I have overcome this by using the woosquare plus plugin. I have a Wordpress site using WooCommerce. They use the functionality that the api has to remove the postcode check completely. Itโ€™s not cheap but I also needed the other functionality. https://apiexperts.io/solutions/woosquare-plus/

This is a big problem - going to have to move from Square now - just does not work for Australia with post code included - appears to be okay for master card but not for visa cards

Hey @Ian6,

 

I thought this one might have been solved - I checked with a Visa and there didn't seem to be a postcode or zip requirement:

 

 

Are you seeing something different when trying to process Visa transactions?

I have tried to process a MasterCard payment and it requires a ZIP.  Local postcode (ZIP) doesn't work.  Neither does using 0000.

Unfortunately, I will have to change to another CC transaction provider.

Thanks for your response.  I don't use Square frequently.  Maybe a transaction every few months.  This is the first time it's occurred so I don't know if it's a new thing in Australia.  I will follow your directions.  Don't really want to have to change.

I had the same problem.  Advised to enter 00000 into ZIP and processed no trouble.

Its been solved.

I was going to cancel using Square as the TEST always asked for ZIP with 00000.

Tried a LIVE check and bingo No Zip code needed. Thanks for not telliing us in Oz!

Wasted a lot of time trying to get a work around.
