Limiting Country Options on WooCommerce Checkout for Specific Products

When running an online store using WooCommerce, you might want to enhance the checkout experience by showing only certain countries for specific products. This can streamline your sales process and ensure that shipping logistics are optimized for particular regions. In this guide, we'll explore how to achieve this by modifying the allowed countries during the checkout process.

Understanding the Problem

The goal here is to display a limited selection of countries on the WooCommerce checkout page based on the products that customers have in their shopping cart. For instance, if a customer adds specific products that you only ship to a handful of countries, you can limit the checkout options appropriately.

The Solution: Using Filter Hooks

To accomplish this, we will utilize the woocommerce_countries_allowed_countries filter hook. This hook enables you to manipulate the list of countries that are presented on the checkout page.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Determine Your Target Products:

First, identify the product IDs for the items that should trigger the country restriction.

Create the Filter Function:

You will write a function to check the cart for these specific products and adjust the list of countries accordingly.

Here's a basic example of how you can use the filter hook to limit the countries shown during checkout.

Method 1: Removing Specific Countries

Customization: Feel free to modify the $targeted_ids and country arrays to fit your specific use case.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined in this post, you can effectively control the countries displayed during the WooCommerce checkout based on the products in the cart. This not only improves the user experience but also ensures that potential shipping issues are minimized.
