# Countries

Whether you import countries or not affects the way saaster works. \
There are two ways to run saaster:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Worldwide" %}
If you want to provide your SaaS offer in all countries of the world, it is best **not to import** any countries. The system then searches for the correct time zone and currency via the customer’s IP.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Country-based" %}
If you only want to provide your SaaS offer in specific countries, **please import** the desired countries. The system then uses the time zone and the currency of the corresponding country.

We have already prepared **250 countries** in the database for you to import. Click "Import countries" to import the desired countries. Then add the few missing details.<br>

{% hint style="info" %}
At the moment countries are not translated yet. They only exist in English. It is therefore necessary that you translate all your desired countries into the other languages you offer in your project.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Import countries

Choose the desired countries and scroll to the bottom of the page and click the import button.
