changes and new features
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. NEW: support QuickBooks Merchant Services (QBMS)

2. NEW: the new "Show Shipping Address Type" configuration at Configure/PerUser/Orders allows the store owner to prompt buyers whether their shipping address is residential or commercial

When a buyer goes to the generated website via an affiliate link and places an order then the order will be associated with the affiliate, so the store owner will be able to run a report for a specific period of time about all orders placed via the affiliates.

21. CHANGE: consider PuertoRico and VirginIslandsUSA as shipping to the USA
