Notes

  • Only geo-zones with enabled = 1 appear. Disabled geo-zones are excluded.
  • Geo-zones are managed under J2Commerce -> Configuration -> Geo Zones.
  • The stored value j2commerce_geozone_id can be used to look up #__j2commerce_geozonerules to retrieve the specific countries and zones within the geo-zone.
