The 'States Management' section of X-Cart enables you to create lists of states for the countries that you made 'active' for your store. State codes are used for the inner processes of the shopping cart. State names appear in the list of states on the user registration form and are used for setting up destination zones.
To access the 'States Management' section, click on States in the Management menu.
If more than one country was activated for your store, use the country name link on top of the 'States' form to select the country the states of which you want to be listed.
