For all this time, I've been a very happy Zenner, allowing only customers from a specific country to log in and create orders. I had deleted all countries, all zones, all currencies and all Tax Zones..
Now recently, several customers approached me, with the request to enable Customers from other countries to log in as well. They want to be able to order products, ship them to the country where we restrict our business to, but they want to enable Billing to credit cards in foreign countries.
Although this may sound fraud-sensitive, it is actually less serious :) The customers often have family and friends in the United States who want to give Gift Vouchers (or presents for that matter) to friends in our country, but they have no means to do so through the interface we have currently created.
So, considering I am coming from a "clean" setup, where no Countries (other than the country we operate in), no Currencies (other than our currency), no Zones (other than our country specified as a Zone), how do I enable the following:
- Allow Shipping only to Country X
- Allow Customers to select any (or at least USA) country during registration
- Allow Customers to order any (or at least Gift Certificates) product
- Allow Customers to choose only Credit Card payments (through PayPal IPN) or PayPal payment method
- Allow Customers to bill to any (or at least USA) country upon checkout
Appreciate your guidance as I tried and seem to be making things worse, rather than better :)
