States and Countries

This screen allows you to select which states and countries you will allow in the Shipping and Billing addresses for your customers, as well as how customers will select the state or country in the shipping and billing address forms.

States

State/Province

Select whether to have customers type in or select the destination state from a pull-down menu.

Note:

If you are using an integrated third-party service which requires specific state codes, ShopSite will always display the pull-down menu, regardless of your selection here.

State/Province List

Use this field to decide which states you will allow in shipping and billing address pull-down menus. The default list includes the U.S. states and Canadian provices.

The name for each allowed state or province should be on a line by itself, followed by a semicolon (;) and the two-letter state or province code. For example:

California;CA
Colorado;CO

Items in the pull-down menu will be displayed in the same order as they appear in this list. The semicolon and state/province abbreviation will not be displayed in the pull-down menu, but will be submitted to integrated third-party services which require the two-letter state code.

You may also include informational lines by putting an n after the semicolon, for example:

Select a State;n

The ;n will not be displayed in the pull-down menu, but customers will not be allowed to checkout if one of these options is selected.

Note:

If you modify this list, you must make sure your selection options are compatible with the requirements of any third-party services which will receive this information.
