# Cannot Enter Canada Postal Code

 * During the checkout process, after the user is asked to their CVV number, they
   are then asked to enter their postal code.The problem is that the field is marked
   Zip Code and only allows numbers and limits to 5 characters.I would like to be
   able to enter Canadian Postal codes which include 6 characters with a mix of 
   numbers and letters. In WooCommerece Settings, the Store Address is set to Canada
   and the billing field does state “Postal Code.” I notice that the CC info is 
   pulled from the postal code field, but it only populates the numbers, so if the
   entered postal code is M3C 1V4, then the CC Zip Code field shows 314.
 * Also, I notice if we add two zeros at the end of “314” like “31400” it worked,
   but I don’t want to ask our customer to add zeros to the postal code.
 * Please help us.

 * Howdy [@trumpetmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trumpetmedia/)
 * Thank you for reaching out about this.
 * Just to clarify, are you referring to the **Postal Code** field in the **Billing
   Details** side of the screen [showcased in the screenshot linked here](https://snipboard.io/6sfp4b.jpg),
   or otherwise?
 * From what I gather, the Checkout page is modified & this could be resulting from
   those modifications. Could you try activating directly the Storefront theme, 
   with only the WooCommerce and WooCommerce Square plugins active, and see if the
   issue persists, please?
 * A picture is worth a thousand words, as the saying goes, therefore, feel free
   to also share a screenshot of the screen where the Zip code is not behaving as
   expected.
 * [https://snipboard.io/](https://snipboard.io/) is a good (online) tool of choice
   for sharing it here.
 * We will be standing by for your response.

 * I made a short video. I just muted the audio so that you can focus on the screen.
   I just used the CC 4111 1111 1111 1111 and CVV 123 to show you how the postal
   code and zip code works on checkout.

 * I did create a new fresh WordPress with only 2 Plugins and 1 product. I only 
   install and activate 1 theme **Twenty Twenty-Three**.
 * Let me know what you need to do. We can’t still work the zip code (postal code)
   for canada.

   can unpublish the Loom videos now.

 * Hello [@trumpetmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trumpetmedia/),
 * I’ve sent this via email, but I’m also sharing the information here for the community.
 * Turns out this is the expected behavior when using Square’s test cards in sandbox
   mode. When you use the test card 4111 1111 1111 1111 you’re using a US card, 
   so the credit card form will behave accordingly.
 * If you want to test how the credit card form behaves for a Canadian card — as
   Square has no Canada-specific test card for sandbox mode — you can insert a valid
   Canadian card but not complete the transaction.
 * Here’s a relevant link from Square support addressing the same issue with Australian
   cards: [https://developer.squareup.com/forums/t/card-payment-without-zip-code-sandbox/6956/2](https://developer.squareup.com/forums/t/card-payment-without-zip-code-sandbox/6956/2)
 * Hope this clarifies the issue! I’m closing this topic now. Please open a new 
   topic if additional assistance is required.
 * Cheers!
