77 Quality Score
Active Installs
15/30

With only 2,000 active installs it is a niche plugin, though its popularity score gets a boost from the rating-to-install ratio in our weighting system.

Update Freshness
25/25

Maintenance is excellent, with the plugin updated on 2026-06-06 and explicitly tested against the upcoming WordPress 7.0 release on PHP 8.2.

User Rating
15/15

The 98/100 rating from 9 reviews is very high, but the small sample size means the score should be treated as encouraging rather than definitive.

Support Health
8/15

Support health is weak: there are 0 support threads and 0 resolved issues in the public record, so there is no track record to confirm responsiveness when something breaks.

WP Compatibility
15/15

Compatibility is perfect on paper, with WordPress 7.0 tested, WordPress 6.8 required, and PHP 8.2 required, matching current standards.

What It Does

RY City Select for WooCommerce replaces the free-text city field on the WooCommerce checkout with a dropdown menu populated from a curated list of cities, and automatically fills in the corresponding postal/ZIP code when a customer picks a city. It ties city data and postcode mapping directly to your billing and shipping fields, which reduces typos and speeds up checkout for stores operating in specific regions.

Who It's For

This plugin is best for small to mid-sized WooCommerce stores that ship within a single country or a defined set of regions where the seller wants strict control over the city list, such as local delivery businesses, regional grocery or food delivery operations, franchise stores, and local marketplaces. It is particularly useful where accurate, pre-mapped city-to-postcode data matters for shipping rate calculations, tax zones, or service area restrictions.

Who Should Skip It

If you ship internationally or across many countries, or if you already use a WooCommerce-compatible locale plugin that includes city dropdowns (such as WooCommerce Germanized for Germany), this plugin is unnecessary and would be tedious to maintain. Stores that only need basic address validation should also skip it, since the core functionality here is the dropdown and postcode lookup, not address verification.

The Bottom Line

RY City Select for WooCommerce is a focused, well-maintained utility that solves one job very well: turning the city text field into a controlled dropdown with auto-filled postcodes. With a Quality Score of 76.98/100, it loses points mainly because of its tiny user base and lack of visible support activity, so larger stores or anyone shipping internationally should look at broader locale plugins instead.
