<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Restrict product purchases by selected countries</li>
<li>Assign allowed user roles for each selected country</li>
<li>Only matching country + role users can purchase</li>
<li>Block purchases if the country matches, butthe  role is not allowed</li>
<li>Optional guest purchase control by country</li>
<li>Hide price and Add to Cart for restricted users</li>
<li>Automatic customer country detection via IP</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Country-Based Product Restriction for WooCommerce</strong> allows store owners to control product purchases using a powerful combination of country and user role rules.</p>
<p>Admins can select specific countries and then define which user roles are allowed to purchase the product within those countries. This ensures that only the right customers — in the right location and with the right role — can place orders.</p>
<p>The plugin automatically detects the customer’s country via IP and enforces restrictions instantly by hiding prices and disabling Add to Cart when conditions are not met.</p>
<p>This is ideal for B2B stores, regional distributors, wholesale pricing models, and controlled product availability.</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<h3> Country Selection Control</h3>
<p>Admins can select one or more countries where the product is available. Customers outside these countries cannot purchase the product.</p>
<h3>Role Assignment Per Country</h3>
<p>For each selected country, admins must choose which user roles are allowed. This ensures precise control over who can purchase in each region.</p>
<h3>Country + Role Matching Logic</h3>
<p>A product can be purchased <strong>only when both conditions match</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li> Customer country is allowed.</li>
<li>Customer role is allowed for that country.</li>
<li> If country matches but role does not → purchase blocked.</li>
<li> If role matches but country not allowed → purchase blocked.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Block Unauthorized Buyers</h3>
<p>Users from allowed countries but with unapproved roles cannot purchase the product.</p>
<h3>Guest User Control</h3>
<p>Admins can allow or block guest users by country. Guests can only purchase if their country is allowed and guest access is enabled.</p>
<h3>Hide Price & Disable Add to Cart</h3>
<p>Restricted users will not see the price or Add to Cart button, preventing confusion and unauthorized orders.</p>
<h3>Automatic Country Detection</h3>
<p>The plugin detects the customer’s real-time location using IP geolocation and applies rules automatically.</p>

Country Based Product Purchase Restriction

<p>Restrict product purchases by country, user role, and guest access. Hide price and disable Add to Cart for restricted users.</p>

<p>If a potentially fraudulent transaction is detected, the WooCommerce Anti-Fraud will automatically block or prevent these orders based on your specific configuration. The plugin can easily be configured to perform one or more of the following automated actions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Automatically Cancel the order.</li>
<li>Automatically place the order On-Hold.</li>
<li>Email Admin + Notify store of Suspect Order without changing the order status.</li>
<li>Auto Blacklist email and other Order Details.</li>
<li>Prevent Bank/Payment Gateway access (Pre-payment verification)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pre-Configured Rules</h4>
<p>WooCommerce Anti-Fraud works out of the box – no need for additional rule configuration. We have defined a collection of default rules that automatically assess and scores each transaction. These pre-configured rules are suitable for most online stores. Moreover, you can easily customize the rules to suit your preferences with just a few clicks and to place higher or lower importance on specific factors/rules.</p>
<h4>Customize the importance of each risk factor</h4>
<p>The WooCommerce Anti-Fraud plugin lets you assign a ‘risk weight’ to each risk factor. This means that you can decide how important each risk is and configure this to your specific sotore. The higher the risk weight for each category, the higher the consideration will be given to the rule in calculating the overall risk score when the risk is detected.</p>
<h4>First-time Purchase Rules</h4>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734001244042" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/First-time-purchase-rule-set.jpg" alt="First time purchase rule" /></p>
<p>Identify first-time customers or their initial order in a processing state. This rule also allows you to<br />
recognize new customers. Allow Antifraud to understand and make it easier for your existing clients to shop and repurchase.</p>
<h4>Harness the Power of Machine Learning with Maxmind minFraud® integration</h4>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-6426197 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/minfraud-anti-fraud-woocommerce.jpg" alt="minfraud" width="841" height="581" /></p>
<p>WooCommerce Anti-fraud now includes integration with the<a href="https://www.maxmind.com/en/solutions/minfraud-services"> Maxmind minFraud Score</a> tools. Now, combine existing rules with a smart real-time risk score for each order. This feature gives you an extra layer of security by assessing orders for fraudulent activities using a smart machine learning algorithm by MaxMind. Enabling this feature, you will be notified about the status of the order when the risk score exceeds the threshold set in the minFraud Settings.</p>
<h4>Ordered Quantity and Amount Check</h4>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-6426204 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/order-and-amount.jpg" alt="order amounts" width="832" height="358" /></p>
<p>These two features can help you reduce chargebacks effectively. You can set the maximum buying amount, number of products and even weighting based on the type of products you are selling to counter fraudulent activities.</p>

<p>WooCommerce Anti-Fraud plugin automatically assigns a risk score to each order on a scale of 1 to 100. The higher the score, the greater the likelihood of the order being fraudulent. This is called the risk score. Examining the risk score enables you to quickly evaluate the potential risk associated with the transaction and take the appropriate defensive actions. You can find the risk score and receive advice for each order directly within the WooCommerce admin panel.</p>
<p>Beneath the risk score, users can see any warnings linked to the order. The advice provided is related to the rules in place (for example, if a customer’s IP address doesn’t match the billing country). The higher this number is, the more likely it is that the order is potentially fraudulent.</p>

<p>Bypass user roles, payment methods and emails from fraud rules by whitelisting them.</p>
<h4>Pre-Purchase Assessment of Risk</h4>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734001243925" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/WooCommerce-antifraud-pre-purchase-assessment.jpg" alt="Pre purchase assessment of orders" width="980" height="531" /></p>
<p>Evaluate customers before they make actual purchases through your Payment Gateway.</p>
<p>Payment Gateway or Bank warning you about too many fraudulent transactions? Pre-payment Verification can help.</p>
<p>If the risk score reaches a high-risk order range, the customer order will be denied in advance, a custom message will appear on the checkout explaining the reason for denial. Add a custom message by typing in the text area in the pre-purchase setting.</p>
<h4>IP, Billing and Shipping Address-based Rules</h4>
<p>Identify threats based on IP, geolocation, phone number, proxy, billing and shipping addresses.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734002558401" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Antifraud-Medium-Risk.png" alt="Anti-fraud medium risk score" width="980" height="490" /></p>
