WC Cart Restrictions stops customers from adding items to the cart when their postcode isn’t in your delivery area. You can restrict by specific postcodes, states, countries, or even draw custom delivery zones on Google Maps. It prevents orders you can’t fulfill and keeps expectations clear before checkout.
How It Works
- Define where you deliver: Enter allowed postcodes, pick states or countries, or draw a custom area on a map.
- Apply rules storewide or per product group: Set broad rules, then tighten them for sensitive products if needed.
- Block at the right moment: When a postcode is outside your service area, the “add to cart” is stopped and the shopper sees a clear message instead of finding out at the last step.
Key Features
- Precision postcode control — allow or deny specific ZIP/postcodes.
- Smart delivery zones — restrict by state or country.
- Custom map areas — draw delivery regions with Google Maps for flexible boundaries.
- Checkout assurance — keep unavailable orders from slipping through.
- Admin-friendly setup — simple screens for rules and messages.

Quick Setup Tips
