Jamaica Address Setup

Has anyone done an address setup in International in Configuration for Jamaica?  We have a new donor from there and I can't figure out the setup for them.

Good morning Brian. 


We use the United Postal Union as a reference for most of our international setup. Not all countries are members, so it won't always work.


Here is a screenshot of my configuration for Jamaica.  If you use Online Express, it is important that you do not set this up using the USA format as credit card donors will not be able to use your donation forms to make a gift without a state. We only accept US dollars so all our countries are configured using the dollar.




With nearly 200 countries in our database, I am always open to learning of new resources in this area. Any other good ones out there?


Kind regards,

Elizabeth

Thanks, Elizabeth.  Your setup looks like the one that I had created.


Jamaica Post is very interesting, and almost as laidback as a number of the people that I have met.  Talking with people I know from there their answer to sending mail is "Just get their name on the letter, along with the city and Jamaica and it will get there."  Which does not always help.  Thanks for your screenshot though.


My next trick is to figure out how Luminate can take a Jamaican gift without a Zip/Postal Code.
