Your store is set up for the United States
When you choose the United States at sign-up, Omniterra sets your currency to USD, your time zone to America/New York. Everything can be changed later.
Taxes
Tax is not preset for this country; add your rate in Settings → Taxes if you need one.
Payments
Card and wallet payments are the norm in the United States, so cash on delivery is off by default. You can still turn it on, with fees, limits and fraud scoring, if your customers ask for it.
Card payments work through your own Stripe or PayPal account where they are available, with card fields, Apple Pay and Google Pay directly in your checkout. Bank transfer is built in, and there is no commission from us on any sale.
Shipping and couriers
Couriers commonly used in the United States are ready in your admin — USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL Express — with tracking links filled in where we know the format. Add your own rates, free-shipping threshold and local carriers.
Checkout that feels local
The address form asks for the state, which is required, from a list, and phone numbers are checked against the +1 format.
