How to allow only one country with Block all except?
Step 1: Go to Block & Re-director > Blacklist, click Block then Block location.
Step 2: Set Status to Enable and Select condition to Country.
Step 3: Choose Block all except and pick the country to keep in Select country. Everyone else is blocked.
Step 4: Click Save. The rule appears in the Blacklist tab.
How to allow only one country on the Free plan?
Step 1: Go to Block & Re-director > Blacklist > Block > Block location. Set Status to Enable, Select condition to Country, choose Add all countries in Select country and click Save.
Step 2: Open the Whitelist tab and click Whitelist location. Set Status to Enable, Select condition to Country, pick the country to allow and click Save.
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
- Can I allow more than one country?
Yes. Select every country to keep in Block all except (or in the whitelist rule).
- 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.
- 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.
