account accounts added allows bear buyer cart carts common confusion contain countries domestic don feasible forth international ireland irish items merchant page pages prevent probably products rate separate ship shipping shopping single site sites specified store stores technically theory together version working world zones

I need to have 3 shipping zones: Ireland, UK and rest of world.

I know that e-junkie only allows 2 "zones" at the moment - domestic (Ireland) and international.

I am wondering if a way of working around this is 2 have 2 e-junkie accounts, with the same products in each?
Account 1 would have the Irish rate as the domestic rate and the UK rate as the international rate and would only ship to these 2 countries.
Account 2 would ship to all other countries with the rest of the world rate specified as the international rate.

I would then have 2 store pages on my site: one for Ireland & UK and an International store for all other countries.

However, this is just a theory, and I have never used e-junkie so I don't know if it would work in practice, or if it's even possible to have 2 e-junkie shopping carts on the one site?

Thanks for your time.

That could certainly work. Just bear in mind that products from the 2 separate accounts could not be added into a common cart together; a buyer's cart can only contain items from a single specific merchant and site.

To prevent buyer confusion, you'd probably want at least a dedicated section or page of your site for each "version" of your store, if not completely separate sites. The idea here being that it should be hard for a wayward buyer to accidentally wander unawares back and forth between your Isles store and your International store.

Many thanks for getting back to me on this Tyson.

I understand what you're saying about needing to separate the stores, but it's great that this is technically feasible.
