Optimal Storage Location for User Region in an Ecommerce Platform

[Labham-Jain]

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working on an ecommerce platform and I have a question regarding the storage of user regions. Specifically, I'm implementing a cart feature and I'm unsure about the best practice for storing the user's region information.

Currently, I'm considering storing the user's region in the customer's metadata field, but I wanted to gather opinions from the community to ensure I'm following the most effective approach.

I'd like to start a discussion to hear your thoughts, experiences, and suggestions on the matter. Your insights will be instrumental in helping me make an informed decision about the storage location for user regions.

To guide our conversation, I have a few questions:

1. Is it advisable to store the user's region in the customer's metadata field?
2. Are there any potential drawbacks or limitations to this approach?
3. Have you encountered alternative storage locations for user regions in similar projects that worked well?
4. Are there any security or performance considerations associated with different storage options?
