Regions

The countries and regions you sell to — currency, tax, and the shipping tied to a region.

Available to roles AdminOpen in the app (Opens in a new tab)

A region joins three things that belong together: where you sell, in what currency, and at what tax rate. Without one, an import has nowhere to put a price.

I only sell domestically. Do I need regions?

Yes — one. The default carries the currency and the VAT rate.

The VAT rate changed.

Update it on the region. New calculations use the new rate; documents already issued stay as they were.
