Even though we are still finding bug in Open Cart 2.3.0.2, it is still a far cry better than what we’ve seen from 3.x by far.

We have published a new extension that allows you to add a “hint” for your custom field at Account and Address locations.

This new access-restriction module is intended to allow only visitors from desired regions access to your storefront.
Now, if you want to block a specific country or zone, try our zone blocking module instead.
Both modules are limited to 1,000 unique IP requests per day or less. We have taken measures to ensure unnecessary geo-location requests do not occur for the same IP/browser-session. Once geo data has been obtained, it will not be checked again for the same browser/device for 30 days.
