Not Requested - The field is not shown on the hosted page.
Hidden Parameter - Field will not be shown but you can pass values as parameters.
Copied from billing - The field will not be shown but the field content will be copied from the corresponding field in the billing address section. If a particular field is configured to be copied from billing, the corresponding field in the billing address section should be enabled.

Enabling zip code validation is also a way for making the zip code field mandatory on the hosted page.
