## How it works

Regions group countries so availability and routing conditions can be maintained together. A custom region is a rule input, not a processor capability.

## Implementation

Create a meaningful name and choose the countries, then reference the region from the relevant rules. Review every dependent rule before removing a country or deleting the region. Test representative countries in the availability preview. Keep a separate rule for markets that must be blocked entirely.
