  Sites like Amazon have multiple sites for multiple locations. Im wanting to have one site for multiple locations. Does anyone have a solution for this? I dont want to display products from the U.S to the U.K. and products from the U.K. to the U.S.

  Is there an effective way to do this? I have found this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-geolocation-based-products/ and it allows me to hide certain products from certain countries. The problem though is that I believe to hide the product from countries other than the U.S. I would have to hide each individual country for each individual product. I would have to make thousands of entries, and there is not an option to upload batch data.

  Could the code be changed or is there another solution? I would like to make it as simple as possible for the user to find products in their location so this would require as few clicks as possible.

  Thank you.

  Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  For that type of functionality you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  Also you need to have a wordpress.ORG site on paid hosting https://wordpress.ORG/hosting to run woocommerce. You cannot run it on a wordpress.COM hosted blog.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.
