It is not good practice to consecutively block false / positive activities throughout the domain since those added entries in WHM are added to a filter list where these filters can be propagated in a way that eventually affects the domains' reputation which is exactly what invaders might be looking for especially at these hard times.
It IS a bad practice from the customer point of view. Sorry to disappoint again.
Still, hosting services do gather customers' demands in order to improve security on their platforms as well as for quality insurance.

Still doesn't mean a good practice. I'm serious. Whenever I stumble upon a store, which doesn't even open for me, I think the owner is a moron of the worst kind. I would not want to buy something, I might just want to take a fkn look!

That's what's been said, it's not good practice.

Cant we just ask visitor's location in the start? some food delivery apps do that. Based on visitor's location they display availability or restaurants etc.

Locations can still be changed during checkout based on the check marked option in the form whether it's about the same or different locations between billing and shipping which is what I have also addressed previously. That doesn't change the fact that people can choose different locations on mobile unfortunately since Opencart will still provide, by default - out-of-the-box, the opportunity to customers to choose their locations whether it's the same or different ones while fulfilling their orders.

Instead of removing the countries, just exclude the countries from your geo zones, that produces an error message.
You might want to change that message to something like:
"We currently do not provide shipping to your location, due to....."

Code: Select all

$_['error_shipping']                 = 'Warning: Shipping method required!';
$_['error_no_shipping']              = 'Warning: No Shipping options are available. Please <a href="%s">contact us</a> for assistance!';
That does not pose a solution for downloadable products.

Well there was no need to buy extensions and my question had nothing to do with covid-19. I simply wish to sell and deliver within my country only.
The advice to remove all countries worked, I just made my country default selected .. disabled and hide the country dropdown from all places. Now users can only select state. Had to go through lots of files to do that but i guess it solved the problem.
Thanks friends.
