Allow Extended Latin Characters

This option changes how strict the rule is.

Only basic English letters, numbers and common symbols are allowed. Accented letters like é, ñ or ü are blocked.

Accented Latin letters are allowed. Only Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters are blocked.

If you sell in Europe or Latin America, turn Allow Extended Latin Characters on, so customers can type their address with accents.
