New page

Counties are territorial divisions smaller than a state but larger than a city or town. Use of counties in a store is optional. Usage of counties can be enabled/disabled with the option 'Use counties' in General settings->General options.

Counties in your store can be set up using the 'Counties Management' section of the Admin area. This section is only available when use of counties is enabled in General settings->General options. To access the 'Counties Management' section, do the following:

# Go to the 'States Management' section (Settings menu->States).
# In the 'States' table, find the name of the state whose counties you wish to access.
# Click on the link in the COUNTIES column opposite this state.

The dialog box 'Counties', which you can find in the 'Counties Management' section, will help you define counties for the selected state. Before you have created any counties, the dialog box will be empty:

After you create some counties, it will look something like this:
