    Restrict Shipping with Global Regions

    I am getting ready to set up an AmeriCommerce account, but wanted to have all my ducks in a row before I get started.

    If someone could give me some insight into this, it would be greatly appreciated. I work with a number of distributors who have defined sales territories. They are wanting to offer products online, but in order to drop ship from the OEM to the customer, the customer must be within their sales territory. From what I have read, shipping can be restricted using Global Regions. Which leads to my questions. Is is possible to restrict shipping to specific states or zip codes? If so, is it possible for the customer to enter a zip code up front before filling a cart and then not being able to have it shipped? ..and is it possible to define Global Regions for microstores or only the storefront?

     Any insight that could be offered would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Yes it is possible.. although not much fun ;)

    Setup each of your vendors as a Warehouse, and then restrict shipping from Warehouse X to Region Y via the shipping methods.
