Allow store admins to show warnings or block shipping to specific countries or states in WooCommerce.

Description

DC Shipping Destination Notices for WooCommerce lets you create rules that display warning messages or completely block checkout based on the customer's shipping destination.

Features

  • Warning mode — show an informational notice (e.g. customs duties warning) and let the customer proceed.
  • Block mode — prevent the order from being placed for specific countries or states.
  • Modal dialog — an instant modal appears when the customer selects a restricted country, with "Continue" or "Change country" buttons.
  • Block & classic checkout — fully compatible with both the WooCommerce block-based checkout and the legacy shortcode checkout.
  • WPML support — per-language message fields in the admin and automatic language detection on the frontend.
  • Priority & stop-on-match — fine-grained control over rule evaluation order.
  • WooCommerce Settings integration — rules are managed in WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping Notices.

Installation

  1. Upload the dc-shipping-destination-notices folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping Notices to create your first rule.

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.0 or later
  • WooCommerce 8.0 or later
  • PHP 7.4 or later

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I block a country?

Yes, choose "Disable shipping" mode. The customer will see a message and will not be able to complete the order.

Can I show a warning but still allow shipping?

Yes, choose "Warning only" mode. The customer will see a notice or modal but can still complete the order.

Does it work with the block-based checkout?

Yes. The plugin fully supports WooCommerce's block checkout. Rules are evaluated client-side for the modal and enforced server-side via the Store API.

Does it work with WPML?

Yes. When WPML is active with multiple languages, the rule editor shows one message field per language. The correct translation is displayed automatically based on the visitor's current language.
