How to bypass OpenEdge shipping restrictions
How can I ship wine to DE, MS, UT despite the fact that Open Edge does not allow shipping orders to those states?
There is the option to change the customer class type of the customer account that the order is for to one of these:
Customer Class Types exempt from state license check Distributor, Wholesale, Samples, Donations.
Another option is running the transaction through the Point of Sale which suppresses the validation under the Sales Tax & Licenses module.
This should allow you to place the order without checking for compliance. The reasoning behind why OpenEdge restricts the states:
Restrictions are set by banks and every processor has a sponsor bank; Wells Fargo is OpenEdge's. They dictate all those restrictions to OpenEdge and they are simply responsible for conveying those restrictions to merchants and complying with them. OpenEdge is constantly monitoring those restrictions and, as any are lifted or changed, they adjust their underwriting and compliance policies accordingly.
