There is lots of products that can be sold in one country, but are forbidden and not legal in other ones. For example some food supplements may be allowed in USA and not legal to be imported in EU. Or slimming pills, diet pills, or it may be anything like Tabaco products.

Or maybe your products are even legal in other countries but you do not want to risk sending for example a purchased notebook to Australia from USA and so on. Or maybe shipping cost exceeds the product price itself:)

No matter what is the reason. Sometimes there is a reason when we as administrator of opencart shop do not want clients from one or another country to buy some products.

But to track all customers where they comes from is extremely hard manually. And almost impossible. And you may get in a situation when user purchase some product, pays you the money and only after that you notice that the country he is from you are simply not shipping this item.

So you have to cancel order , apologize the client, and return him the money (way too much task for nothing, even worse in a situation like that you simply will loose this customer for other products the ones you do ship to his country).


So here is the sky where this extension comes to shine:) The Geo block purchase products module enables the you as administrator to disable possibility to buy some products from a specific country or more countries.

Simply go to edit product and set the country / countries the ones you want to block to buy the item and you are done. Module uses MaxMind geo ip database (it claims 99% accuracy)

So if you want to block some products by customer location, this is the extension you are looking for
