Shopify Country Codes: The Complete ISO 3166 Reference (All 249 Codes)

Country codes are one of those references you look up twenty times a year and never bookmark. Shopify uses the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard — two letters, uppercase — everywhere a country appears in your store’s data. This page is the complete current list, all 249 assigned codes.

Where Shopify uses these codes

• Markets — each market is defined by the country codes it includes; pricing, domains and duties follow the code.
• Shipping zones — zones are sets of country codes; a typo here is a country you silently don’t ship to.
• Checkout and customer addresses — country_code fields in orders, draft orders and customer records carry the alpha-2 value.
• Liquid — localization.country.iso_code, shipping_address.country_code and friends return these codes in themes.
• APIs — Admin and Storefront APIs accept and return alpha-2 codes in address, market and tax resources.

Three lookups cause most of the confusion: the United Kingdom is GB (not UK), Greece is GR (not EL, which the EU uses internally), and mainland China is CN while Hong Kong (HK), Macao (MO) and Taiwan (TW) have their own codes — which matters for both shipping zones and duties.
