About Yuupee Country Catalog Rules for WooCom…
From the official readme · v0.4.0Description
Most country-restriction plugins for WooCommerce bring their own IP
geolocation. If your store already has WooCommerce’s built-in geolocation
active (the MaxMind GeoIP2 database WooCommerce ships with), a second,
independent lookup can disagree with it near a border or behind a VPN.
Yuupee Country Catalog Rules reuses WC_Geolocation — the same detection WooCommerce already
uses for shipping, tax, and currency — so there’s only ever one source of
truth about where a visitor is.
Features
- Restrict a whole product category to specific countries in one place.
- Per-product override for exceptions to a category rule.
- Two modes: hide completely, or show everywhere — including shop/category
grid cards — with an Amazon-style “not available in your country” badge
and a custom message that can include the visitor’s detected country name. - Admin preview mode (
?ccrw_preview_country=XX) — test rules without a VPN. - Fails open on undetected location: never accidentally hides a product from
a real customer because geolocation couldn’t determine their country.
Installation
- Upload to
/wp-content/plugins/or install via Plugins → Add New → Upload. - Activate.
- Set category rules under Products → Categories.
- Set per-product overrides under each product’s Product Data → Country Catalog Rules tab.
- Optional: customize the unavailable-product message under WooCommerce →
Settings → Country Catalog Rules.
Frequently asked questions
Does this replace WooCommerce’s own geolocation setting?
No — it calls WooCommerce’s own WC_Geolocation::geolocate_ip() directly. Make sure a MaxMind license key is configured (WooCommerce → Settings → Integration → MaxMind Geolocation) so that lookup can actually resolve a country. If your store is behind Cloudflare or another reverse proxy, the origin also needs to see the real visitor IP — see the project README’s “Geolocation troubleshooting” section.
What happens if a visitor’s country can’t be detected?
Restricted products stay visible. The plugin fails open, not closed.
Does this affect product feeds (Meta, Google, TikTok)?
It hooks into WooCommerce’s standard visibility filter, which is the correct integration point, but hasn’t been verified against every third-party feed plugin. See the project README for the full list of known v1 limitations.
Changelog
0.4.0
- Rename: the plugin is now “Yuupee Country Catalog Rules for WooCommerce”
(was “Country Catalog Rules for WooCommerce”) and the slug is
yuupee-country-catalog-rules-for-woocommerce. Text domain updated to
match. No functional changes; theccrwinternal prefix, option/meta
keys and the?ccrw_preview_countryquery parameter are unchanged.
0.3.0
- Rename: the plugin is now “Country Catalog Rules for WooCommerce”
(was “Geo Catalog for WooCommerce”). Internal prefix, text domain,
option/meta keys and the admin-preview query parameter changed from
wgc toccrw. First public release under the new name.
0.2.1
- Add: declare the
Requires Plugins: woocommercedependency header. - Compat: tested up to WordPress 7.1 and WooCommerce 10.0.
0.2.0
- Add: “Show, mark unavailable” mode now shows a badge on shop/category/
search grid cards too (previously only the single product page), with
the grid’s Add to Cart button swapped for a “Not available” notice —
matches how Amazon flags region-blocked products in listings, not just
on the product page. - Add: the unavailable message (WooCommerce → Settings → Country Catalog Rules) now
supports a{country}token, replaced with the visitor’s detected
country name.
0.1.1
- Fix: category rules now cascade to subcategories (a restriction on a
parent category applies to products only assigned to a child category). - Fix: real (non-preview) visitor geolocation no longer defaults to the
store’s own base country — now calls WC_Geolocation::geolocate_ip()
directly instead of a shortcut that was seeded from the store’s default
customer location setting.
0.1.0
- Initial release: category and product-level country restriction, two
restriction modes, admin preview, WooCommerce Settings tab.
