After July 2021, the 2.3.x release line no longer received quality updates or user guide updates. PHP 7.3 reached end of support in December 2021, and Adobe Commerce 2.3.x reached end of support in September 2022. We strongly recommend upgrading to Adobe Commerce 2.4.x to help maintain PCI compliance.

  2. In the left panel, expand Sales and choose Shipping Settings.

  3. Expand the Origin section and complete the following:

    • Country
    • Region / State
    • ZIP / Postal Code
    • City

  4. Click Save Config.
