Edit States/Regions

This section allows the administrator to add, delete, or make changes to the master list of states / regions and regions within a country.

The information entered in the International > Countries > Edit States/Regions section is used for all address forms and also for sales tax rate definitions.

Note: International > Countries and International > States / Regions are not used with the category style “Regions” section.

Adding a State/Region

1. To start, select a country from the International > Countries page and click the Edit States/Regions button.
2. In the text box labeled "Add New States/Regions"; enter the state code, up to a maximum of 10 characters.
3. Follow the state code with a comma.
4. Now enter the state's name.
5. If adding multiple states, continue by adding each state on its own line, otherwise click the "Add" button.

Example:

This is what the region codes and regions should look like for Canada when entered into the text box.
