### Incomplete postcodes

Shipping provider integrations should plan to handle incomplete postcodes when handling shipping quotes. Incomplete postcodes can occur when stores use [digital wallets](https://support.bigcommerce.com/s/article/Online-Payment-Methods?language=en_US#digital-wallet) as a payment method. Digital wallets truncate postcodes for shipping addresses in the UK and Canada as they only provide the first three characters to shipping provider integrations.

Digital wallets truncate postcodes only when they generate shipping quotes. Complete postcodes are available once a shopper places the order. Shipping providers can read and fetch order data after order placement.

## Including product metadata in rate requests

BigCommerce passes carrier-specific product metadata to a carrier service in a rate request via product and variant metafields. This product metadata can be useful if your service depends on specific fields that are not existent on BigCommerce products or variants by default.
