Why is my online store only shipping to the USA?

Issue: During test checkout, only the United States appears as a shipping destination, while the goal is to enable worldwide purchasing.

Likely cause: Shopify Markets is configured to only include the US, with the International Market not activated.

Hi @engahmedosman85 ,

In order to allow shipping worldwide, you need to activate International Market in Settings.

From Shopify admin, please navigate to Settings > Markets to see if this market is activated or not? If not, simply click on Manage next to the International Market section then you’ll see the Activate button.

I hope it helps.
