Guest Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Hi I have created some zones with countries that I trust and I'd like to ship to just these. But...if I make a dummy account from a country that's not trusted, it allows me to continue the checkout process and go through to payment. I have the shipping modules set for the zones so at checkout_shipping there's no options for non-zones countries but I can still continue - I'd have thought that this was the best place to have a stop if it's a non-shipped to country. Help! ;) Sheepo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 don't show the countries you don't do business with. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So you're saying to take out all the countries (except for the ones I want to work with) in the "Locations|Taxes/Countries" section?

M. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no, I am saying that you should remove those countries from the listbox that people get when they sign in. So that nobody from those countries can create an account and they know they do not have to bother to shop any further. Treasurer MFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks M. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> there are 2 options : 1) delete them from the database if you are sure you will never use them 2) I believe this contribution does the disabling but leaves them in the database: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2839 Treasurer MFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that directly in the database because I don't do this every week. Treasurer MFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
