I just cant find the answer

we have a few products that cannot be sold in about 9 states
how do we restrict the sales in those states but allow in the rest of the states

Ive tried a dozen potential solutions from the forum and nothing has worked

Hello,

how do we restrict the sales in those states but allow in the rest of the states

The only solution will be to :
- Create a custom shipping zone with every zone you different than the 9 states where your products cannot be sold via "Hikashop->System->Zones".
- Add that shipping zone through the "Zone" option of your shipping method.

i did think of that but how does it get applied to specific products

so i made UPS restricted New York and add new york state to the restricted section in each shippingmethod

i made one for each state

but wouldn't this be global for all products
how does it get applied to each product, because not all products are restricted

please explain this
zone you different than the 9 states

thanks

Hello,

You can create a warehouse for each products group destined to a shipping method, so basically you'll have to :
- Go to "Hikashop->System->Warehouse"
- Create your warehouse

- Add it on the "warehouse" option of your products configuration page

- Add it on the "warehouse" option of your shipping configuration page.

Add it on the "warehouse" option of your products configuration page

>>>>so if restricted from sales in 9 sates, i have to add 9 warehouses, correct

but can you have more than one warehouse per shipping method

Add it on the "warehouse" option of your products configuration page

this just makes no sense
because at one point it says the restriction is to a specific state, not restricted from a specific state

Hi,

So you have one UPS shipping method, and it currently applies to all the products for any state, right ?
You want to do several things:
- first you want to go in the menu System>Zones and create two shipping zones. One with the 9 states and one with all the other states as sub zones.
- Then, you want to duplicate your UPS shipping method with the copy button of the System>Shipping methods menu. You want One shipping methods with a "zone" restriction set to your 9 states shipping zone, and the other one with a "zone" restriction set to the other states shipping zone (if you ship worldwide, you'll also want a "world" shipping zone with all the other countries in it attached to that shipping method).
That way, the shipping method used will switch between one or the other automatically based on the address of the customer.
- Then, you want to turn on the "use shipping price per product" setting of the 9 states shipping method.
-Finally, you want to edit all the products that you don't want to be shippable to these states and in the "shipping prices" area, you want to click on the + icon and check the "block" checkbox so that the shipping method will be removed if the product is in the cart.
That way, when the customer is on the checkout with one of these products in the cart and that his address is in one of these 9 states, the shipping method won't be available and the customer won't be able to finish his checkout (he'll get a warning explaining the situation).

Hi,

In that case you need to use the ACL on the shipping methods.
(that feature is provided by HikaShop Business).

It allows you to limit shipping method for specific Joomla user groups.

Hi,

Just configure the shipping methods and at the bottom of the configuration page, below the "restriction" you will find the "Access Level" setting.
