Advanced Country Blocker vs Price Based on Country for WooCommerce

Advanced Country Blocker helps you secure your WordPress site by restricting access based on the visitor’s geolocation (country) or IP address. Upon activation, the plugin detects the activating admin’s country and automatically sets that as the only allowed country. All other visitors from different countries are blocked, unless they use a secret key parameter to temporarily whitelist their IP. Country detection uses the privacy-friendly ip-api.com service by default but can be switched to a fully offline MaxMind GeoLite2 (or compatible) database file once you configure a local copy. Key Features: Automatically allows the admin’s country on plugin activation. Flexible IP-to-country lookups – start with the built-in ip-api.com integration and optionally switch to an offline MaxMind GeoLite2 Country (or compatible) .mmdb database file. Allowlist or blacklist mode – choose whether the country list acts as an allowlist or blocklist without re-entering countries. Temporary access via a customizable secret URL parameter (e.g., ?MySecretKey=1). CAPTCHA Challenge – allow blocked visitors to solve a CAPTCHA to gain temporary access (supports Google reCAPTCHA v2/v3, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile). Real-Time Activity Monitor – live dashboard showing active visitors, recent blocks, and traffic statistics. Analytics Dashboard – comprehensive charts and statistics about blocked attempts. Manual blacklisting and safelisting of IPs for added security and to accommodate uptime monitors. Optional email alerts when new visitors are blocked. Admin bypass so logged-in admins can always access the site (toggleable in the code). Detailed logging of blocked attempts in a custom database table, displayed in the WP admin. Custom response controls – personalise the block page title/message, choose the HTTP status (403, 410, 451) or redirect to any URL. Automatic log cleanup with configurable retention plus a one-click “Clear Logs” button. Use the plugin settings page (Country Blocker menu in WP admin) to configure the list of allowed countries, blacklisted countries, blacklisted IPs, and whether email alerts are enabled. License This plugin is open-sourced software licensed under the GPLv3 or later. External Services By default this plugin contacts the ip-api.com geolocation service to detect visitor countries. You can disable all external lookups by switching the IP lookup method to the local MaxMind database in the settings.

Documentation | Upgrade to Pro Price Based on Country for WooCommerce allows you to define country-specific prices for your WooCommerce products, either in a single currency or across multiple currencies. The plugin is designed for stores that sell internationally and need greater control over how prices are presented to customers across regions. You can adapt your pricing strategy to reflect local markets and currencies. KEY FEATURES The core plugin is 100% free. It provides all functionality needed to sell internationally with localized pricing. ✔️ Multi-Currency Add multi-currency support to WooCommerce to enable selling products in multiple currencies and reduce checkout friction. ✔️ Geolocation The plugin detects the country of the website visitor automatically through the geolocation feature included in WooCommerce and displays the price and currency you have defined previously for this country. Compatible with cache plugins. ✔️ Manual Fixed Price Leave the price to be calculated using the exchange rate, or set a fixed price manually for each country or region. ✔️ Country Switcher Widget Add a country switcher to your store to let users manually change their country. ✔️ Multilingual Ready Compatible with WPML and Polylang workflows (sync data between product translations). How It Works Prices are organized into pricing zones, each one associated with one or more countries. For each zone, you can choose a currency. You may rely on automatic currency conversion using exchange rates, or define fixed prices manually for full control. Once configured, prices are displayed dynamically based on the customer’s country, while remaining compatible with caching and performance plugins.
