A24 Geo Checkout Blocker
A24 Geo Checkout Blocker lets store administrators restrict the WooCommerce checkout page by visitor country. It is a country-based WooCommerce checkout restriction plugin for WordPress stores that need geolocation checkout control, country blocking, regional checkout rules, MaxMind GeoIP2 support, or Cloudflare geolocation support.
Features:
- Choose MaxMind GeoIP2 web service or Cloudflare geolocation header.
- Configure MaxMind Account ID and License Key only when MaxMind is selected.
- Test whether Cloudflare headers are present or whether MaxMind credentials can connect successfully, including the IP address used for the test.
- Select individual countries or the European Union country group.
- Choose whether selected countries are blocked or whether only selected countries are allowed.
- Evaluates only non-admin visitors on checkout when the cart is not empty.
- Caches the visitor IP address and detected country in a WordPress transient for 24 hours.
- Adds suggested privacy policy text for site administrators.
When MaxMind is selected and credentials are missing, the plugin does nothing. When Cloudflare is selected and the CF-IPCountry header is missing, the plugin does nothing.

Privacy
This plugin may process a visitor IP address to determine checkout eligibility. With MaxMind selected, the visitor IP address is sent to MaxMind GeoIP2 web services. With Cloudflare selected, the plugin reads the CF-IPCountry request header. The visitor IP address and detected country are stored in a WordPress transient for 24 hours.
External services
This plugin can use external geolocation services depending on the provider selected by the site administrator.
MaxMind GeoIP2 Web Services
When MaxMind is selected as the geolocation provider, this plugin connects to the MaxMind GeoIP2 Country web service to determine the country associated with a visitor IP address. This is required to decide whether the visitor is allowed to access the WooCommerce checkout according to the configured country rules.
The plugin sends the visitor IP address to MaxMind when a non-admin visitor reaches the WooCommerce checkout with a non-empty cart and no valid cached country result exists. The plugin also sends the current admin request IP address to MaxMind when an administrator uses the provider test button in the plugin settings. The request uses the MaxMind Account ID and License Key configured by the site administrator.

Cloudflare
When Cloudflare is selected as the geolocation provider, this plugin does not call a Cloudflare API. It reads the CF-IPCountry HTTP request header that Cloudflare may add to requests passing through Cloudflare. This header contains a country code used to decide whether the visitor is allowed to access the WooCommerce checkout according to the configured country rules.
The plugin reads the CF-IPCountry header when a non-admin visitor reaches the WooCommerce checkout with a non-empty cart and no valid cached country result exists. The plugin also checks the current admin request for this header when an administrator uses the provider test button in the plugin settings.
