Country of Origin directive

In India it is compulsory to mention country of Origin with each product for all online eCommerce website.
how have you all achieved this?

I have not done it yet.

I will first upgrade to desired opencart version and after that Will look into this.

Share any of website url where you see this changes/functions

You could use a free field in products usually sku, upc, ean etc and have it display on the product page

An upgrade won't change anything, in this case. What you need is an extension from the Marketplace that restricts payments by countries. Johnathan has one like that. By specifically setting the country as a restriction, the restricted country name can also be shown on the products page from the catalog. An alternative would be to use an extension filter that could search by manufacturers where their locations are also specific.

? In India it is compulsory to mention Country of Origin on each product ?
So add the country of origin on the product - manufacturer and country of origin are not necessary related.
I do not know the legality of how country of origin is calculated in India, but can be a rather complex issue.

Which is why, in those cases, it normally needs to be dealt by restrictions.

One would assume that the shop is in India and that country of origin needs to be displayed as a matter of law in that country. As such a simple modification using a free field to the product will suffice.

Your assumption is that the shop is not in India and wants to sell to customers in India OR that the shop owner wants only to display country of origin only for the customers in India and not to anyone outside of that country. Which may be the case and would required investment in order to display the same solution above for ips in India only. I think you misread it, payments is not connected to country of origin.

Quite unlike tax, the complexity of country of origin I am referring to has nothing to do with manufacturers or the base of those manufacturers. It is the complexity of the country of origin of the components contained within it, thus it is entirely product specific and can not be done via any automated assumption.

However, I forgot about this .. there are also agreements between countries that things can be marked with a different country of origin than the real country of origin for political reasons .. but I am not aware that these can not then be sold onto a different country under the same conditions and the original importer, one would have to check with a lawyer about that, but I suspect ignorance is bliss would be the answer on that one because how would you actually know when it is government intervention?
