Form Subcomponent: Postal Code Field

The Postal Code Field subcomponent can only be used within the Form component.

The Postal Code Field subcomponent allows for collection of a customers postal code, which can be used to store or update the postal code in their billing address. It can be used as part of an acquisition flow, or within self-service. 

The key difference between this standalone postal code field and the Address Fields subcomponent is that this Postal Code Field support the use of built in, country specific, validation rules.

Built in Validation

If no no regex is specified in the Validation regular expression and Disable standard validation rules is toggle off, then this component will utilise the country specific regex rules. 

The country specific regex rules are pulled from Limio's address metadata file, and allows for stricter validation on this field. The table below explains in detail the regex patterns in the address metadata.
