Allow Countries Supported by your Carriers in PrestaShop 1.5

If your PrestaShop store is viewable in many countries, it may be important for you to limit sales to those countries where you can ship.  Fortunately, PrestaShop does have this as a setting in the Localization menu for countries.  The following tutorial shows you how to quickly set the option to restrict your country selections that your customer can see to those that are covered by your active carriers.

Remember that your products can only get to your customers if it is shipped through a supported carrier or if they come to you and obtain their purchase directly.  If you are allowing shipping to a country in which you do not have support for a carrier, you will need to make separate arrangements directly with the customer in order to get your products shipped.  This may be something you need to consider based on your customer base and the products that you are selling.
