Country

Shop owners can specify the country or countries they will ship their products to. Shop owners are able to do this through their shop admin dashboard in the "Settings" tab, under the "Taxes" tab.

#

These countries are made available through the API using the country resource. The countries list resource represents the set of countries that have been specified as shipping destinations, including an additional default 'country' called 'Rest of World', which represents the non-specified countries. An important piece of information included with each country is the country's national sales tax rate, which you can modify to account for surtaxes or exemptions that apply to the shop.

What can you do with Country?

The haravan API lets you do the following with the Country resource. More detailed versions of these general actions may be available:
