Ships from country [ships_from_country]
The ships from country [ships_from_country] attribute lets you provide the country from which your product will typically be shipped. You can help prospective customers decide on a purchase by letting them know if your product is shipped locally or from a cross-border location.
The ships from country [ships_from_country] attribute is available for use in all supported countries in Merchant Center.
This attribute is different from ship-from location for carrier-calculated shipping, which is available only in France, Germany, and the United States. Learn more about ship-from location in Calculate shipping speeds based on the carrier.
