Post Code Error


Lawman1947

Recommended Posts

After a new customer chooses ‘create a new account’ and completes the form and attempts to continue forward they receive an error message as follows: Your Post Code must contain a minimum of 5 characters.

 

In setup configuration, the minimum characters limit has been set at 5 to accommodate US and International customers. However, regardless of whether a customer enters 5 or more, they get the error message. I am losing customers who give up in frustration with this error that will not allow them to create an account. I share the frustration with them as well as losing the revenue!

 

Any ideas as to the fix for this?

 

Thanks, Bob (aka Lawman1947)
