Limit Shipping Address Countries List

Post by dandersonMLT » Thu Nov 12, 2015 8:43 am

Is there a way to limit the Shipping Address Countries List to only the countries covered by your shipping zones and still have all countries in the billing address countries list?
I'd like the ability to bill any address, but only show countries we actually ship to in the shipping address list.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

It's a good question, but I don't think it can be done without a customization. The zones feature can be used to designate shipping areas by country, state, zip code, or zip code ranges, in addition to 'excluding' any of these items instead of 'including'. I don't think it would be possible to know which countries to list by looking at the zone information. In your case, if you are only using zones to designate countries, then it might be possible to do with a customization. But I would think about taking the simple approach and hard-coding a list of countries in the shipping address forms.

Thanks
Katie

Thank you. I'll look into hard coding the list.
