Hi,

Is there a way to stop people from placing orders from areas that we don't deliver to? The website I'm working on only does delivery to the local area. Is there a way to restrict people from been able to register on the website if they live outside of the area?

I know you can set up shipping methods based on postcodes but customers will only find that information out when they are placing an order. I don't want to have people going through all this effort to place an order only to find out at the very end that they can't place an order. I'm putting up text on the website to say that we don't deliver outside of the area but that won't stop people from trying anyway and it's just going to cause problems if they keep doing that.

Is there any plugins that would work or something that I can set up that will do what I want?

Thanks.

Hi,

First, you can disable the states/countries where you don't want to ship to in the menu System>Zones.
Then, you can use the "regular expression check" setting of the post code field when you edit it via the menu Display>custom fields to restrict the valid post codes that can be used.
