Rule types and precedence
CartWhizz checks each visitor in this order and stops at the first answer:
- IP Allow — if the visitor's IP matches, they are let in. Nothing else is checked.
- IP Block — if the IP matches, they are blocked.
- Country Allow — if you have any Country Allow rules and the visitor's country is not one of them, they are blocked.
- Country Block — if the visitor's country matches, they are blocked.
- Otherwise the visitor is let in.
What this means in practice
- IP Allow beats everything. Use it for your office, your team or a trusted customer.
- One Country Allow rule turns on "only these countries". If you add Country Allow
IN, every other country is blocked, even without Country Block rules. - If the country can't be detected, country rules are skipped and the visitor is let in. Visitors on a VPN appear to be in the VPN's country.
Only active rules count
Rules that are switched off or past their Expires At time are ignored.
