If you are getting errors saying that your country cannot be blank, even though you have data for that field, It's most often related to your Shopify shipping settings. First up, verify that:

  • Billing address country can’t be blank
  • Shipping Address country can’t be blank


If both fields are filled in and you still get this error, then you may need to temporarily enable international shipping during the import:


To enable international shipping:

Settings > Shipping

Create a zone for “rest of world” if one does not already exist


Quick Tip: If you do not want to display international shipping during your order import to customers, create a shipping rate with a range pretty much nobody will ever reach during normal shopping. For example you can create an international shipping rate for orders that weigh between 25,000 – 25,001 Pounds.
