I set up my shopping cart and I am not interested in selling internationally at this time. How do I remove the International option from the shipping destination? Are there other items to edit that will prevent users from other countries from being able to complete a transaction?

I doubt I will have anyone visiting from other lands, just want to cover the bases. I got stuck shipping internationally when I sold something on eBay and it was a total hassle. Don't want to do that again.

I would think a little htaccess to redirect or block ip addresses from outside the North America would work.

Also check with PayPal, I believe there is an option in the settings for it about where you want to sell to. I'm not 100% positive on it, just seem to recall there was something about the area you want to sell in or something in there. Could be that you can also limit things that way.

I figured it out after poking around. I edited the list of shipping locations and removed "International" and put notices on the main and View Cart page stating that we didn't sell internationally. Since they're unable to choose their country, they can't proceed to pay.
