The Advanced Postal Code Validator module provides advanced postal code validation for
MIVA Merchant 5. This module can help you avoid expensive international
shipping problems that arise from errors in the postal code format. Postal codes are matched against easy-to-read patterns that are
configurable on a per-country basis.
MIVA has postal code validation of its own, but it is limited in terms
of functionality. Here is a feature comparison:
