If your store already has WooCommerce’s built-in geolocation active (the MaxMind GeoIP2 database WooCommerce ships with), a second, independent lookup can disagree with it near a border or behind a VPN. Yuupee Country Catalog Rules reuses `WC_Geolocation` — the same detection WooCommerce already uses for shipping, tax, and currency — so there’s only ever one source of truth about where a visitor is. #### Features * Restrict a whole product category to specific countries in one place. * Per-product override for exceptions to a category rule. * Two modes: hide completely, or show everywhere — including shop/category grid cards — with an Amazon-style “not available in your country” badge and a custom message that can include the visitor’s detected country name. * Admin preview mode (`?ccrw_preview_country=XX`) — test rules without a VPN. * Fails open on undetected location: never accidentally hides a product from a real customer because geolocation couldn’t determine their country. ## Installation 1. Upload to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via Plugins Add New Upload. 2. Activate. 3. Set category rules under Products Categories. 4. Set per-product overrides under each product’s Product Data Country Catalog Rules tab. 5. Optional: customize the unavailable-product message under WooCommerce Settings Country Catalog Rules. ## FAQ ### Does this replace WooCommerce’s own geolocation setting? No — it calls WooCommerce’s own `WC_Geolocation::geolocate_ip()` directly. Make sure a MaxMind license key is configured (WooCommerce Settings Integration MaxMind Geolocation) so that lookup can actually resolve a country. If your store is behind Cloudflare or another reverse proxy, the origin also needs to see the real visitor IP — see the project README’s “Geolocation troubleshooting” section. ### What happens if a visitor’s country can’t be detected? Restricted products stay visible. The plugin fails open, not closed. ### Does this affect product feeds (Meta, Google, TikTok)? It hooks into WooCommerce’s standard visibility filter, which is the correct integration point, but hasn’t been verified against every third-party feed plugin. See the project README for the full list of known v1 limitations. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Yuupee Country Catalog Rules for WooCommerce” is open source software.

Text domain updated to match. No functional changes; the` ccrw` internal prefix, option/meta keys and the `?ccrw_preview_country` query parameter are unchanged. #### 0.3.0 * Rename: the plugin is now “Country Catalog Rules for WooCommerce” (was “Geo Catalog for WooCommerce”). Internal prefix, text domain, option/meta keys and the admin-preview query parameter changed from wgc to `ccrw`. First public release under the new name. #### 0.2.1 * Add: declare the `Requires Plugins: woocommerce` dependency header. * Compat: tested up to WordPress 7.1 and WooCommerce 10.0. #### 0.2.0 * Add: “Show, mark unavailable” mode now shows a badge on shop/category/ search grid cards too (previously only the single product page), with the grid’s Add to Cart button swapped for a “Not available” notice — matches how Amazon flags region-blocked products in listings, not just on the product page. * Add: the unavailable message (WooCommerce Settings Country Catalog Rules) now supports a `{country}` token, replaced with the visitor’s detected country name. #### 0.1.1 * Fix: category rules now cascade to subcategories (a restriction on a parent category applies to products only assigned to a child category). * Fix: real (non-preview) visitor geolocation no longer defaults to the store’s own base country — now calls WC_Geolocation::geolocate_ip() directly instead of a shortcut that was seeded from the store’s default customer location setting. #### 0.1.0 * Initial release: category and product-level country restriction, two restriction modes, admin preview, WooCommerce Settings tab. ## Meta * Version **0.4.0** * Last updated **3 days ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [catalog visibility](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/catalog-visibility/)[country restriction](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/country-restriction/) [geolocation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/geolocation/)[multi-country](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/multi-country/) [woocommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/woocommerce/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yuupee-country-catalog-rules-for-woocommerce/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
