Country Codes

This document provides a comprehensive reference for ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country codes supported by Localpayment. These three-letter codes are international standards that ensure consistent identification of countries across systems and applications.

Overview

  • Payment processing systems
  • International transactions
  • Geographic data identification
  • Cross-border commerce applications
