Payment Zones and How to Set Them Up

I'm having some trouble getting payment zones to work. What I need is:

UK - PayPal, or cheques/money orders
Outside UK - PayPal only.

What I get, if I set a zone (UK) in the payment module is PayPal only whatever the country is (including the UK) in the primary address.

Any thoughts, anyone?

Re: Payment Zones and How to Set Them Up

If PayPal can be used regardless of the customer's address, set its zone to --none--.
Then create a UK-only zone definition, with just the countries from which you'll accept cheques, and in your Check/MoneyOrder module, choose you UK zone definition.

Many thanks - I was missing the Zone in the Zone Definition.

That's another but working. :cool:
