2.1 Enabling a High-Risk Country
1) Before agreeing to enable a high-risk country, make sure the merchant understands and acknowledges in writing the risks involved in shipping to each target country.
Make sure to inform the merchant that these countries have a high rate of:
- fradulent orders
- lost/undelivered orders
2) Once the merchant provides written acknowledgment accepting full responsibility for order issues in the target country, submit a JIRA to ENG asking to enable the restricted country
3) When the restricted country is enabled, make sure to add an action event with reference to the case where the merchant provided the written acknowledgment to ensure we have easy access to the acknowledgement should an issue arise.
4) Inform the merchant the restricted country has been enabled.
