If you have your Shopsite store set to use either taxes calculated based on Zip Code, Free Shipping or real time rates with UPS or FedEx it will automatically load a ZIP CODE field within the Add to Cart page. This field needs to be populated before the client can proceed to the Checkout page. In the event that the customer enters in a different Zip Code on the Checkout screen they will need to go back to the Add to Cart page and change the Zip Code. As you can imagine this can be quite frustrating and is why some merchants look for a way to remove this Zip Code field from the Add to Cart screen within Shopsite.
