Magento 2 Shipping Restriction

• In Magento 2, navigate to Sales > Shipping Restrictions and click on Add Rule to restrict shipping by location.
• Enter a restriction name and choose all the delivery methods you wish to block.
• Then, in the Conditions section, insert a restriction message and select the shipping areas option.
• Set any more sections as needed, then save the rule.

General Configuration

• Restriction Rule Name:
  • Provide the name of a restriction rule that will be displayed in the admin area. It will be visible on the grid.

• Restriction Status:
  • Set the status to active if you want the rule to be active.
• Store View:
  • Select which stores are applicable for this rule. To import the rule to any store, leave the field empty or pick All. This feature is extremely handy for global scale businesses that have multiple online stores.
• Customer Groups:
  • Select the customer groups applicable for the rule. For example, you can limit wholesalers’ access to the Magento 2 free shipping method. To apply the rule to all groups, leave the field empty or pick All.
• Shipping Carriers and Methods:
  • Indicate a list of shipping carriers to be blocked. When a shipping carrier is chosen, all of its shipping methods are immediately prohibited. Furthermore, the module allows you to restrict only the carrier’s superfluous delivery methods rather than restricting all of them.
• Priority:
  • Assign a priority based on your needs.

Restriction Conditions

• By default, the rule will show the selected shipping method only if the conditions are met.
• If you select a customer group but do not configure any shipping method or condition, the rule will not restrict any shipping methods. All available methods will remain visible for that customer group.

• Select Dates
• You may set the date for rules on the chosen tab.

• The grid displays all the restriction rules, including rule ID, status, name, shipping carriers and methods, customer groups, and store views in one location.
• You can easily control all the shipping restriction rules that you’ve added directly from the grid.
• You can edit rules from the Action column. You can also select multiple rules at once and choose an action from the Actions dropdown menu to delete, disable, or activate the rules together.

Restriction Conditions

How It Works?

You must select the customer group also.

• Example 1: Show Free Shipping if Subtotal ≥ $500
  • Goal: Free Shipping should appear only when customers spend $500 or more.
  • Configuration:
    • Method: Free Shipping
    • Condition: Subtotal equal to or greater than $500
    • You must select the Customer Group(s) also.
  • Result:
    • If subtotal = $600 → Free Shipping is shown
    • If subtotal = $250 → Free Shipping is hidden
• Example 2: Hide Express Shipping when Subtotal is Large
  • Goal: Hide Express Shipping when subtotal is greater than $1000.
  • To hide when condition is true → reverse it.
  • Configuration:
    • Method: Express Shipping
    • Condition: Subtotal less than or equal to $1000
    • You must select the Customer Group(s) also.
  • Result:
    • If subtotal = $1500 → Express Shipping is hidden
    • If subtotal = $800 → Express Shipping is shown
• Important:
  • The rule logic shows the selected shipping method only when the condition is TRUE.
  • To show when condition is met, configure the condition normally.
  • To hide when condition is met, configure the opposite condition.
  • You must select the Customer Group(s) also.
