<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>
