All Countries
This screen displays all Countries.
Countries provide two geographical functions for the website.
First, they are used to define Shipping Zones, Product Shipping Zones, and Tax Zones.
Secondly, they are used to create the address entry fields that
your Customer will use to enter their billing address and each
recipient's shipping addresses.
The Billing Address is entered by the Customer
- during checkout on the Billing Information Page, or the Express Order Page, or the Order Preview Page.
- after they login and view their My Account information, and update their billing address on the Account Profile Page.
The Shipping Address is entered by the Customer
- during checkout on the Shipping Address & Arrival Page.
- after they login and view their My Account information, and update their shipping addresses on the Update Address Book Page.
TIP: If you don't accept orders or ship orders to more than one
Country, you should delete all other Countries. Once you have done
this, the website will no longer prompt the Customer for a Country
selection. Instead, the sole Country in the system will be used
by default, displayed for completeness, but will not be editable by the
Customer.
IMPORTANT: If a Country does not have any States defined for it, the
website will display a blank text area for the Customer to enter the
State value themselves. This value will be saved and exported with the
Order data.
