1. Install ZipCode Checker app from app market. Start free trial or buy a plan. This is important. Without free trial or paid plan, even if you add our widget, it will stay hidden on live site.

2. Configure Wix Shipping. Go to Wix Store shipping settings and enable the entire country you ship to. If you have multiple countries, select multiple. But remember to select entire country, not few regions. ZipCode Checker will handle where you want orders from. For that entire country must be enabled. If you have global store with shipping support to all countries, enable your store country and rest of the world.

However, you can set different regions of same country in various shipping groups for customizing shipping rates. Just make sure the regions you enabled or disabled here do not conflict with zip codes you upload on the app. Objective here is to prevent mismatch between shipping settings and zip codes list on zipcode checker app.

3. Go to app dashboard page for setup. Do not add widgets onto site before setting up the app. Download sample csv format to add your zip codes list. Before adding zip codes to csv file, consider how you will use the list.

Include toggle will only allow orders from the zip codes you added in csv. Any other zip codes will be rejected. Exclude toggle will allow orders from all zip codes except for ones you added in csv.

Remember the first row field should remain as it is. You can add zip codes below. Second column is for setting shipping time message. It is optional. The message you want to show to users when they input their zip code. You can set different for each zip code. Any other messages can be also added like local greetings in local language. Third column is for adding notes for your own reference. It will not affect anything else.

You can also create your own csv file. The first row should be same as in sample file. Hit upload button and select your file. It will validate the csv and might take few minutes to complete the process. As soon as upload is complete, edit in cms button will be enabled.

4. You can manage your zip codes on Wix CMS directly and edit the list on it. On the right side the blue text shows when you uploaded csv the last time. Clicking on it will download that file. The one you uploaded last time. Download CSV of current zip codes button will download the current zip codes on CMS.

5. Suppose you want to add more zip codes in bulk to list already on CMS, you can prepare another csv file and click upload again. It will prompt you to select between two options. Overwrite and Append. Clicking append will add all these new zip codes in new csv to existing zip codes you have on the CMS. Overwrite will wipe out all the zip codes on CMS and replace them with new ones you uploaded.

6. Initial setup is done now. The app will prevent orders on Wix Checkout showing customers that shipping is not supported to their zip code. After this you can optional plugin widget on product page as convenience for site visitors to let them check support for their zip code directly on the product page. This also entices them to interact with your website hence increasing chances of converting site visitor into a customer.

7. You can also select individual elements like input text box and button to customize their style and layout to match it to overall look of your site.

8. These plugin widgets can also be placed into four other positions if you don’t want to keep it above the cart button. Select the widget and click three dots to move the plugin.
