It’s easy enough to say “put the zip first because that will tell you city, state and country in one input”.
What happens to customers not in the United States? They have no zip to enter. Or if they have a postal code of some stripe, it has a different format.
What about folks who are in Turkmenistan, that you’re grumpy about having to scroll past? How are they signing up?
This already works on most shop systems in Germany. The OP just have to learn that zip codes aren't international. You can't know everything.
Why this automation isn't implemented when you select USA as country...I don't know, but when you select Germany it works.
A lot of the times both "zipcode" and "state" are mandatory fields.
Zipcode is easy, the platform likely wants my postal code.
You have to be a little bit more creative with state, sometimes "We don't have any states" is fun to see printed on your address label on a parcel, other times "Denmark" could be considered a state in the EU and that can be an answer, but most times "N/A" is enough.
