Yes, there is a way to identify customers from Northern Ireland using their zip/post codes in Webflow and offer them a preferential shipping rate instead of being tied to the UK as a whole. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Gather zip/post codes: Collect the zip/post codes of your customers in Northern Ireland. You can either ask them directly during the checkout process or use a service to validate the zip/post codes entered by your customers.

  2. Create a custom shipping zone: In your Webflow project, navigate to the Ecommerce settings and go to the "Shipping" tab. Here, create a custom shipping zone specifically for Northern Ireland.

  3. Set preferential shipping rates: Within the custom shipping zone for Northern Ireland, specify the preferential shipping rates for customers in that region. You can set fixed rate shipping, weight-based rates, or any other shipping method available in Webflow.

  4. Configure shipping rules: To apply the preferential shipping rates to customers from Northern Ireland, you need to set up shipping rules. In the shipping rules section, create a rule that matches the zip/post codes of Northern Ireland and assigns the custom shipping zone with the preferential rates to those customers.

  5. Test and verify: After configuring the shipping settings, make sure to thoroughly test the checkout process to ensure that the preferential shipping rates are correctly applied to customers from Northern Ireland. Place test orders with different Northern Ireland zip/post codes to ensure accurate shipping calculations.

By following these steps, you can differentiate customers from Northern Ireland based on their zip/post codes in Webflow and offer them a preferential shipping rate separate from the rest of the UK.
