Country Based Restrictions for WooCommerce lets you control exactly which products are visible and purchasable based on your customer’s country — using WooCommerce’s built-in geolocation engine (MaxMind GeoIP2) for 99.5% accuracy. Whether you’re selling region-specific products, dealing with legal compliance restrictions, or managing international distribution agreements, CBR gives you precise control over your catalog by country — without any coding. HPOS Compatible · 5,000+ Active Stores · Free & Open Source What You Can Do Restrict products per country — For any product, choose a list of countries to include (sell only to) or exclude (block from). Set it per product in seconds. Three visibility modes — Choose how restricted products behave for blocked customers: Hide completely from shop, search, and category pages Hide from shop and search but allow direct URL access Keep visible but non-purchasable (show with a custom message instead of Add to Cart) Include or exclude rules — For each product, choose whether the country list means “sell only to these countries” or “do not sell to these countries”. Works with WooCommerce Geolocation — Uses the shipping country the customer enters, falling back to WooCommerce Geolocation (MaxMind GeoIP2) when no shipping country is set yet. Supports product variations — Apply country restrictions to individual variations within a variable product, not just the whole product. HPOS Compatible — Fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (custom order tables). Translation ready — Fully translatable via standard WordPress/WooCommerce translation tools. How It Works Install and activate the plugin. Go to WooCommerce > Shipment Tracking > Country Restrictions to configure the default visibility settings. Open any product and set the country restriction rule — choose include or exclude, and select the countries. Customers visiting from a restricted country will see the product according to your chosen visibility mode. Free vs PRO — What’s the Difference? CBR Free gives you per-product country restrictions. CBR PRO adds bulk tools, payment gateway control, and advanced display options for stores managing restrictions at scale. CBR Free includes: Per-product country restriction rules (include or exclude) Three visibility modes: hide completely, hide from shop/search, or show but block purchase Variation-level restrictions WooCommerce Geolocation detection (MaxMind GeoIP2) HPOS compatible CBR PRO adds: Bulk restrictions by category, tag, attribute, or shipping class — Apply rules to entire product groups at once instead of editing each product individually. Global restriction rules — Apply one rule across all products sitewide. Bulk CSV import — Import country rules for hundreds of products at once. Disable payment gateways by country — Hide or disable specific payment methods (PayPal, Stripe, etc.) for customers from restricted countries. Hide product prices by country — Show the product but hide the price for restricted countries. Country detection widget — Let customers manually change their detected country from the storefront. Custom restriction messages — Set a custom message per product shown to restricted customers instead of the Add to Cart button. Redirect restricted customers — Redirect blocked visitors to a custom page instead of showing an error. Remove bulk rules — Clear single-product rules in bulk via the product list bulk actions. Priority support — Faster, dedicated assistance from the Zorem team. 👉 Get CBR PRO Compatible With CBR is tested and compatible with: Multilingual plugins — WPML, Polylang, Weglot Page builders — Elementor, Divi, WPBakery (Visual Composer) Wholesale plugins — Wholesale for WooCommerce Search plugins — Advanced Search for WooCommerce Subscriptions — WooCommerce Subscriptions (variation restriction supported) Multi-currency — Works alongside currency switcher plugins ⚠️ Important note for caching: Caching plugins (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, SiteGround Optimizer) and CDNs can serve cached pages that bypass geolocation detection.
