PrestaShop 1.6.x. How to add and manage states/regions

We are glad to present you a new tutorial that shows how to add and manage states/regions in PrestaShop 1.6.x.

In PrestaShop templates you have an exciting opportunity to add and edit the administrative units (states, provinces, regions, etc.) of any of the existing countries.

By default, PrestaShop already has the states/regions for some countries, which you can edit, remove and, of course, to add new ones if needed.

In order to manage states/regions, perform the following steps:

1. Login to your PrestaShop Admin Panel.

2. Navigate to the Localization -> States section:

   

3. Click on the Add new button, located at the top right corner.

   

4. Enter the name of the state to the first field. Also, select the needed country and zone the state belongs to.

5. It is necessary to type the ISO code for the new state/region as well.

   

   You can locate the needed ISO codes here.

6. Save the changes.

7. Furthermore, you can edit or delete the states that were already created. In order to do this, click the edit button if you want to change state details, and delete if you want to remove.

   

8. Moreover, when you add new states and choose which country the state should belong to, you can select only from those countries that have their Contains states option enabled.

9. In order to enable this option, navigate to the Localization -> Countries.

   

10. Click on edit to edit the country and set its Contain states option to Yes.

    

Now you know how add and manage states/regions in PrestaShop 1.6.x templates.
