CountryService

CountryService returns a list of countries with corresponding country codes. The country names are translated for every SiteAccess. This list of countries is used in all forms in the shop as a list of choices.

Because this service is aware of the form type name, it can return different countries for every form. It can display a different list for the checkout process and a different list for the registration process.

Service ID: siso_tools.country

Configuration

The list of possible countries can be configured in siso_tools.default.countries.
