# Supported regions

Use the **Geography by region** domain control to allow payments only in selected regions.

Each region maps to a predefined set of countries.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you need per-country rules, use **Geography by country**.
{% endhint %}

### Region list

Use the region identifier when you configure the control.
