​Audience: Merchants / End Users

RP Promap now includes improved Country Code support and country validation during CSV imports.

This update fixes common issues where imported locations don’t appear on the map due to inconsistent country formats (example: USA vs United States vs US).

With the new update, RP Promap can accept multiple country formats and automatically normalizes them into a standard value during import.

RP Promap now accepts different versions of the same country, including:

All of these will be normalized into the correct standardized country value.

Example:

RP Promap now uses a configuration-based list of supported countries, including 250+ countries with aliases.

This includes countries like:

US, PR, VN, CA, FR, DE, GB, RU, CN, JP, KR, KP
…and many more.

This ensures imports work reliably for merchants importing international store lists.

Previously, some imports depended on limited hardcoded conversions (example: forcing United States → USA).

Now, imports apply the same country normalization rules consistently across all imported records.

When importing your CSV:

RP Promap checks your CSV for a mapped country field such as:

If your CSV includes any valid alias (code or name), RP Promap automatically converts it to the correct standardized value.

This ensures all imported locations match the system’s expected country format.

If a location was imported with a country format the system didn’t recognize, it could cause the store to be saved incorrectly and not render properly on the map.

With normalization enabled, imported stores now have standardized country values that should allow them to display correctly.

Note: This update improves the import data quality. Map display behavior itself was not changed in this release, but correct country values are a required prerequisite for accurate map rendering.

To avoid import issues:

✅ Use one country format consistently
✅ Recommended: use ISO 2-letter country codes (US, CA, GB)
✅ Make sure every row has a valid country value (especially for global store lists)

Here are a few examples RP Promap can now accept:
