How do I block or restrict which countries can order from my store?
Country Blocker lets you either block specific countries from accessing/ordering on your store, or restrict your store to only a chosen set of allowed countries.
Steps
- Open Country Blocker from Apps.
- Under App Settings, use Blocked Countries to select countries whose visitors should not be able to access or purchase from your store — or use Allowed Countries to restrict access to only those countries.
- You can select up to 250 countries in a list.
- Click Save Changes.
Common problems
- Save fails with a country-count erroryou're over the 250-country limit for one list; trim the selection.
- A visitor from a supposedly blocked country can still orderdouble-check you saved after selecting the countries (an unsaved selection has no effect), and that you used the correct list — Blocked vs Allowed work oppositely, so mixing them up will produce the reverse of what you intended.
- Legitimate customers from an allowed country can't check outif you're using Allowed Countries, only countries on that list can purchase at all; add the missing country to the allowed list.
