UK Order

How to flag UK-bound orders in WooCommerce

Flag orders shipping to the United Kingdom

Automatically badges orders destined for the UK so your team can apply the correct domestic carrier rates, packaging, and compliance steps before dispatch.

Shipping info
The problem

Stores based outside the UK that receive UK orders need to handle VAT, customs, and carrier selection differently. Without a visual flag, UK-bound orders can be processed with incorrect shipping options.

The solution

OrderBadger can automatically flag any order shipping to the United Kingdom.

Who this is for

International stores that ship to the UK regularly, or UK-based stores that want to visually confirm domestic orders at a glance.

How it works

Adds a badge to orders where the shipping destination country is GB. This lets your team quickly filter and identify UK domestic orders in the WooCommerce orders list.

Confirm that the correct domestic carrier and VAT settings are applied. If shipping from outside the UK, ensure customs declarations are prepared.

Make it yours

Adjust thresholds
  • Change 'United Kingdom' to a different country name (e.g. 'United States' or 'Germany') to repurpose this rule for another key market.
Add or remove conditions
  • Add 'and order total is over £100' to focus on higher-value UK orders worth prioritising for same-day dispatch. The order is shipping to the United Kingdom and order total is over £100
  • Add 'and the order is shipping to the Highlands and Islands zone' to narrow the badge to UK orders heading to surcharge areas only. The order is shipping to the United Kingdom and the order is shipping to the Highlands and Islands zone

Good to know

  • This checks the shipping country code only. It does not distinguish between England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
  • Orders to British Overseas Territories (e.g. Gibraltar, Bermuda) have different country codes and will not be matched.

Frequently asked questions

  • Does this rule match Northern Ireland as well as mainland UK?
    Yes. Northern Ireland uses the GB country code in WooCommerce, so it will be matched. However, the rule does not distinguish between England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
  • Will orders to the Channel Islands or Isle of Man be flagged?
    The Channel Islands (GG, JE) and Isle of Man (IM) have their own ISO country codes and are not GB. They will not be matched by this rule.
  • I'm a UK-based store - is there any point using this rule?
    It can be useful if you also sell internationally. The badge lets you quickly filter domestic orders in your orders list, which helps when you need to batch UK and international shipments separately.
