    Hi. I want to let the users to my woocommerce site to always enter their location before accessing the website so that they can only see the stores/vendors around them. And make it a compulsory for the user to enter the location. Then also I want the website to only display the stores around them only. I have tried geo my wp but it is not working. kindly any views on how to do this? Thanks
    kindly.

    Hey @boniemugambi,

    Based on what you described, I’d suggest looking for a ‘catalog visibility’ plugin to achieve this. There is a premium plugin available on WooCommerce.com that can achieve this, as well as a few free plugins here on .org (though, we don’t develop those, so I can’t say for sure if they will meet your needs).

    @shaunkuschel thanks for the response. However, the plugin you are speaking about is for a different purpose. The one I need is which can allow customers enter their location before accessing the site and then they only see the stores near them.

    Hey @boniemugambi,

    Thanks for clarifying that. The plugin I suggested does have a “Location Selection Requirement” setting that does force a customer to choose their location before anything on the site will be visible.

    If that isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, can you elaborate a bit more about what you’d like the experience to be like for customers (and perhaps provide an example)?

    Yeah. true @shaunkuschel . for example yo know instacart? the user must enter their zip code before they access the store or otherwise they will not be able to access the site. Once the user enters the zip code, the website only shows the stores around the customer so the=at they can be able to only purchase from the stores around them. so I want to know a plugin or any feature that I can be able to use in order to have these features on my wordpress website. Additionally, I am using wcfm and woocommerce and I wound like the customers to only see the stores around them. Kindly skip the content about woocommerce and wcfm if there could be a problem for their solution. Thanks so much for your follow-up @shaunkuschel

    Hey @boniemugambi,

    Since you’re using WCFM, I’d suggest contacting their team about what integration they suggest- as I found a few possibilities mentioned in the searches I did about this that were specific to this kind of site setup. However, I can’t recommend or speak to any of them, since we don’t develop any of those possible options.
