Hide Shipping Rates for PO Boxes

Hide some or all shipping rates when the shipping address is a post office box. A Playwright Checkout Rules template for shipping options.

What it does

When the shipping address is (or isn’t) a PO box, Playwright hides the selected rates.

Use it to hide couriers that can’t deliver to PO boxes.

For example:

Find it under Shipping Rules in Playwright, in Hide Rates. Give the rule a name, fill in these settings and select Save Rule.

PO Box: Choose Shipping Address - PO Box Qualifier and whether the address Is a PO Box or Is not a PO Box.
Rates to Change: Which shipping rates to hide. With “None” the rule hides nothing. See Choosing shipping rates.; All: Every shipping rate.
Rate Name: Rates whose name does (or doesn’t) match, contain, start with or end with what you enter. Names are compared without regard to capital letters.
Rate Code: Rates whose code (the service code a carrier or shipping app gives the rate) does or doesn’t match what you enter.
Rate Source: Rates from a given source. Not available on Shopify Functions: rules that use it aren’t published.
Rate Price: Rates above or below a price, in dollars.
Rate Discounted: Rates an earlier shipping rule did or didn’t discount.
Multi-Select - Meets all criteria: Combines up to three choices; all must match.
Multi-Select - Meets any criteria: Combines up to three choices; any can match.

At checkout: A customer shipping to “PO Box 123” doesn’t see FedEx rates. Other addresses see every rate.

Playwright publishes this template as part of the Shopify customization “Playwright: shipping rules”.

It runs as it did with Shopify Scripts.

These conditions aren’t available in shipping option rules, so a rule that uses one isn’t published:

Rate Source: The shipping rate source (Shopify or carrier) isn’t available to Shopify Functions. Select rates by name or code instead.

Tag conditions match whole tags only. See Conditions and Publishing.
