Overview of Unit System and Phone Number Formats

Each country has an associated unit system and phone number format. The unit system is the standard
units in which weight and length are measured (e.g., most of Europe in on the System International, the
United States is on the U.S. System (known outside the U.S. as the Imperial System), and the United
Kingdom is on the Imperial + Metric System. Digital StoreFront ships with default values for these
systems but a site administrator may decide to change the unit system. Digital StoreFront supports
many countries, and the “Countries” page provides administrators with the means to change (1) the
unit system for a country and (2) the format for phone number.

The unit system settings determine the unit that is shown to a buyer on the site. For instance, an
administrator in the U.S. can enter the weight of a product in pounds (lb), but a buyer viewing the
product details in a country on the System International will see the weight in kilograms (kg). The
system handles all conversions between unit systems.

For information on setting the unit system for the site, see

Unit System Tab
