Decide who can reach your store

Allow or block visitors by country so you only take orders from the markets you actually ship to and want to serve.

  • Fewer bad ordersStop orders you cannot fulfil before they are placed.
  • Your own messageBlocked visitors see your wording, not a browser error.

What Country Blocker does

  • Country rules

    Pick the countries you allow, or the ones you block, from one list.

  • Region and state rules

    Narrow a rule to specific regions where a whole country is too blunt.

  • Custom blocked page

    Explain why, and point visitors at the store that does serve them.

  • VPN and proxy handling

    Choose whether traffic that hides its origin is allowed through.

  • Allow specific pages

    Keep policy, contact or wholesale pages reachable from anywhere.

  • Redirect instead of block

    Send visitors to the right regional storefront rather than a dead end.

How it works

  1. Choose your mode

    Start from an allowlist if you serve a few markets, a blocklist if you exclude a few.

  2. Set the countries

    Select the markets, and narrow to regions where you need to be precise.

  3. Write the message

    Say why the store is unavailable and where the visitor should go instead.

Who it is for

  • Regional shippingYou ship to a defined set of countries and no further.
  • Licensed productsDistribution rights that stop at a border.
  • Fraud-heavy marketsRegions that generate chargebacks rather than revenue.
  • Multi-store brandsSend each visitor to the storefront built for them.

Frequently asked questions

From the visitor IP address, resolved at the edge before the storefront renders. No account or address is needed, so the rule applies from the first page view.

You choose. Traffic that resolves to a known VPN or proxy can be treated as blocked, allowed, or sent to the same message you show blocked visitors.

No. Crawlers are recognized and allowed through so your store stays indexed in every market, whether or not you sell there yet.

Yes. Point a country at another URL and visitors from there land on your regional storefront instead of a blocked page.
