<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The geolocation plugin for WooCommerce helps protect your online store by blocking unwanted traffic based on visitor IP addresses. Easily restrict products, categories, or CMS pages so they’re visible only to selected regions. Admins can set up automated IP-based rules that apply to individual pages or your entire site. You can also show custom messages or redirect restricted visitors to alternative pages for a seamless user experience.</span></p>

<h3><b>Auto-detect User IPs Based on Location</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Geolocation based products plugin uses a database service to automatically identify the physical location of a website visitor based on their IP address. This allows the plugin to restrict users’ access to certain parts of your website or to the entire website.</span></p>
<h3><b>Add Multiple Rules to Block Users</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Geolocation based products filter lets you restrict users from certain locations using multiple rules. You can block access to products, categories, website pages, or display custom messages. You can set the priority of each rule according to your needs and add a custom title to each rule.</span></p>

<h3><b>Block Specific Regions and Countries</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Block visitors from specific countries or regions with geolocation WooCommerce. You can restrict access to entire regions or choose individual countries from different continents, giving you full control over who can view your products.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006373319" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Block-Specific-Regions-and-Countries.png?w=896" alt="Block Specific Regions and Countries" width="896" height="411" /></p>
<h3><b>Restrict Users Based on States</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Easily manage who can access your store by blocking specific states. Control the visibility of products, categories, or pages so that only visitors from allowed states can browse. For example, you can show a product only to customers in California while hiding it from other states.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006373321" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Restrict-Users-Based-on-States.png?w=896" alt="Restrict Users Based on States" width="896" height="355" /></p>
<h3><b>Block Your Entire Website</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">You can restrict access to your website from specific regions, countries, or states.

This can help you to focus on your target market and improve your conversion rates.</span></p>

<h3><b>Add IP Exceptions to Whitelist Specific Users</b></h3>

<h2>Keep Your Customers Happy With Automated SMS Order Notifications</h2>
<p>Send SMS updates to customers when their order status is updated and receive an SMS message when a customer places a new order.</p>
<h3>Why offer SMS Order Updates?</h3>
<p>Simple – it’s the best way to give customers information about their order. According to Frost & Sullivan, SMS messages have a 95% open rate and most are read within 5 seconds. This is three times better than email and can be far more personalized. For example, you could customize the “Completed” status SMS message to include a coupon code for 10% off the next order. Get creative and watch your sales soar!</p>
