Does This Plugin Block Checkout or Only Hide Products?

The WC Country Restrictions plugin does not block the checkout page or prevent order processing. It is designed specifically to manage product visibility and interaction based on the user’s geographical location.

What It Does:

• Hides entire products, categories, or all products globally from selected countries.
• Controls the Add to Cart button visibility or behavior (hide, replace, or show a custom message).
• Controls whether product prices are visible to users from restricted countries.

What It Does Not Do:

• It does not block or restrict access to the WooCommerce checkout page.
• It does not prevent users from checking out if they have access to products not restricted by their country.
• It does not stop existing cart items from being processed if the user’s location changes mid-session.

Use Case Tip:
If you want to prevent purchases entirely for certain countries, consider combining this plugin with checkout field restrictions or payment/shipping method limitations via third-party plugins.
