Country Help

Oxbow Books (UK company) has a front page that asks if you are in the US or UK (with links to click) and redirects you accordingly if you are in the US to the David Brown Book Company. I believe it is all on their site, but you could probably do a mutual redirect with your distributer's site.

we are planning on doing this same thing, but if someone from the uk does accidently go to our shopping cart and not theirs, then how to i keep them from buying off our site, it wouldnt be that big of a deal, but i will have a contract that states i can not take uk orders, so i need zencart to not allow uk orders. thanks

You can set shipping zones in admin, and set up areas from which the cart will not take orders.
I'll have to go look to see just where you would do that.

looks like instead of saying i wont ship to here, i will have to pick every place i will ship and leave out where i wont

I think you're right, unfortunately, except for the Zone Rates shipping method - that allows you to specify a country for which the method is not available. If that's your only shipping method, you're set.

Otherwise, I think you can set up a Zone Definition once (excluding the UK) and select that in shipping modules.
