Limit Checkout to Specific Countries or Regions
How do I know which to choose – allow or block?
You'll want to select allow or block depending upon the amount of countries or regions you're wanting to restrict to. If you're only shipping to a small handful of countries or regions, you'll want to select allow, only requiring you to check those few boxes from the list, designating that country/region as allowed. If you are shipping to most places, but just need to exclude a few countries, you'll select block and check off the countries/regions that you can't ship to. If in doubt, feel free to contact us.
To only allow specific countries or regions:
- Go to your templates configuration in the Foxy admin. Here's a link: https://admin.foxycart.com/admin.php?ThisAction=TemplateConfig
- Scroll down to “Customize allowlist/blocklist filtering of countries and regions.”
- If not checked, check the box.
- Change “filter type:” to “Allowlist”.
- Scroll until you see the countries or regions for which you'd like to offer shipping and select them.
- Scroll down and click the “Update” button to save.
- Test the cart/checkout to ensure that only your allowed countries/regions can be selected.
