WooCommerce Country Restrictions

Description

The Country Restrictions addon filters access to your WooCommerce store based on the visitor’s country of origin, blocking checkout, hiding specific products, or displaying custom messages according to the detected geographic location. It’s for anyone selling items with legal export restrictions, licensed regional distribution, or market-segmented catalogs, adjusting what each visitor sees in the storefront without having to maintain separate sites for each region.

Key Features of Country Restrictions

• Country-based blocking
  Restricts access to store pages based on the country detected from the visitor’s IP.
• Individual product restrictions
  Lets you define which countries can or cannot purchase each product.
• Custom block message
  Displays a configurable notice when a visitor isn’t allowed to access the item.
• Whitelists and blacklists
  Supports both allowing specific countries and blocking only selected regions.
• Checkout control
  Prevents order completion when the billing address falls outside the allowed list.

Benefits of Country Restrictions

• Compliance with regional rules
  Helps you honor licensing requirements, export rules, or territorial sales rights.
• Segmented catalog without multisite
  Serves different audiences from a single WooCommerce install, with no parallel setups to maintain.
• Fewer invalid orders
  Prevents purchases from regions you don’t serve that would lead to refunds, support tickets, or manual cancellations.
• Clear communication with visitors
  Replaces the generic error with a message explaining the reason for the restriction on the spot.

Who Is Country Restrictions For?

• Anyone selling products with territorial rights (licensed courses, software, regional digital content).
• Brands distributing items regulated by local legislation, such as supplements, beverages, and cosmetics.
• Anyone running dropshipping or fulfillment that serves only a specific group of countries.
• Businesses with franchises or sales reps that need to divide markets without channel conflict.
