Why Is a Zipcode Showing as Available on the Wrong Product?

A zipcode shows as serviceable on a product where it shouldn’t — even though it’s not in that product’s whitelist? Nine times out of ten, that zipcode lives in a rule that’s assigned to all products, which makes it valid everywhere.

  1. Go to Settings → Assign Zipcode Rule → Show Assignment and review your assignments.
  2. Look for any rule assigned via Apply To All Products. Every zipcode in that rule counts as serviceable on every product in your store — so it will override what you expect on individual products.
  3. Open that rule and check whether it contains the zipcode in question. If it does, either remove that zipcode from the all-products rule, or reassign the rule to only the specific collections/products it should cover.
  4. If you legitimately need overlapping rules, use Priority on the rule (set in Settings → Create Zipcode Rule) — when a zipcode falls under multiple rules, the highest-priority rule wins.

Why: “Apply To All Products” is a store-wide grant. It’s easy to forget an old all-products rule is still active and quietly making codes serviceable.

Still stuck? Tell support the product and zipcode, and we’ll trace which rule is matching it.
