What are Markets in Kombiner?
Summary
Markets in Kombiner define which countries your business operates in and what actions are allowed in each country. This helps you control where customers can place orders, request quotes, or interact with your store. In this article, we explain what Markets are and how they are used.
What are Markets?
Markets in Kombiner represent countries combined with business rules.
Each Market is based on a country (such as Denmark or Germany), but also includes settings that control how your business operates in that country.
You can find Markets under Settings → Markets.
Markets allow you to:
- Enable or disable specific countries
- Control what users can do (orders, quotes, requests)
- Store country-specific information such as phone codes
Example:
You enable Denmark and Germany as Markets
- Denmark → allows direct orders
- Germany → allows only quote requests
When should I use Markets?
You should use Markets when:
- You want to control which countries you sell to
- You need different behavior per country
- You want to restrict orders or requests by location
