# How to allow only one country to access my store?

## Overview

If you sell in one country only, let that country in and block everyone else. In **Block & Re-director > Blacklist > Block > Block location**, **Block all except** does this with one rule; on the Free plan, use a block rule plus a whitelist rule.

Step 4: Click **Save**. The rule appears in the **Blacklist** tab.

| Tip: Keep your own country in the allowed list. If you lock yourself out, use the **Admin's access URL** in **Settings > General settings**. See [How can I access my store if I have blocked my own country?](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/how-can-i-access-my-store-if-i-have-blocked-my-own-country-ae313d37-1ibz4bf/).

Whitelist rules are checked before block rules, so visitors from the whitelisted country get in and everyone else is blocked.

## Who can use this feature?

**Block all except** is available on paid plans. The two-rule method works on all plans and uses both of the Free plan's 2 active rules.

## FAQs

1. **Can I allow more than one country?**

Yes. Select every country to keep in **Block all except** (or in the whitelist rule).

2. **Will Google still be able to find and list my store?**

Yes. Good bots, such as Google's, are always let in before Blockify checks your block rules.

3. **Can I redirect other countries instead of blocking them?**

Yes. Create a **Redirect location** rule with **Redirect all except** to keep the selected countries and send everyone else elsewhere. See [Block or redirect by country](https://help.omegatheme.com/en/article/block-or-redirect-by-country-8nw2ej/).
