What is ISO country code?

Overview

The ISO country codes are standardized short-form codes that represent countries, dependent territories, and special areas of geographical interest. These codes are defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and are widely used in data processing, international shipping, and various global applications to ensure uniformity and consistency across different platforms and systems.

The ISO country codes are available in two formats:

1. ISO 3166-1 alpha-2: A two-letter code, such as US for the United States or FR for France.
2. ISO 3166-1 alpha-3: A three-letter code, such as USA for the United States or FRA for France.

These codes are essential for various applications, including e-commerce platforms, where they help streamline processes like shipping, tax calculation, and regional targeting.

Setting ISO Country Codes in the App

When configuring rules in the app, you may need to specify country-based triggers. For instance, if you want to apply certain rules based on the customer’s country, you will use the ISO country codes to define these triggers. Here is an example of how to set this in the app:

01. Edit Rule: Start by editing the rule where you want to apply the country-based trigger.
02. Select Trigger: Choose “Country” as the trigger condition.
03. Add Country Code: In the value field, enter the corresponding ISO country code for the desired country. For example, if you want to apply the rule to customers from Canada, you would enter “CA” (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for Canada).

This ensures that the rule will be applied correctly based on the specified country.
