Shipping Restrictions for Magento 2

Limit certain shipping methods of the carrier

Magento 2 Shipping Restrictions are created to let you build a cost-effective delivery strategy. Usually, carrier companies propose several shipping methods to its customers such as land, air, sea shipments, etc. The module enables to restrict only unnecessary shipping methods of the carrier instead of blocking all of them. For example, you can restrict ground mail methods for the short-life products as it usually takes about a week to deliver them.
Magento 2 admin panel is now enriched with shipping restrictions functionality. It enables you to set or cancel restrictions right from the grid for each particular case. Additionally, we recommend to have a look at our dhl magento 2 extension which helps to make an accurate volume and weight estimations.

Efficient management with shipping areas

Arrange delivery destinations into shipping areas and apply restriction rules to the whole area at once. Flexible settings allow you to include or exclude from the area different countries, states, regions, cities, zip codes, etc. For example, you can easily block delivery for the distant regions by creating the appropriate shipping area that includes such destinations.

Restrict shipping by a postcode

With the Magento 2 shipping locations restriction feature, it is possible to set a postcode as a delivery restrictions rules base, for example you can restrict zip codes that start from ‘123’ or ends with ‘XYZ’.

Apply discounts and taxes to the order subtotal

Use this method to limit some certain customer’s facilities. For example, you have set your shop to automatically give Magento 2 free shipping when someone's subtotal is over $149, but if a customer uses a coupon that drops the order value below $149, free shipping wouldn’t be applied due to the discounted subtotal.

Use customer attributes as the rule base

Create Magento 2 shipping restrictions using customer attributes such as date of birth, customer group, gender etc. You can also create special shipping conditions for certain customers using this option.

Set shipping restrictions for Magento 2 based on product attributes

Shipping methods restrictions can be made based on any product attribute. For example, you can exclude ground mail from delivery methods in case the order contains some premium brands.

Set restrictions on particular days

This option can be very useful if you don't deliver goods on particular days, e.g. limit shipping on weekends or on holidays.

Enable shipping methods for a particular customer group

Magento 2 Shipping Restrictions extension enables you to restrict methods for particular customer groups, for example you can give access to Magento 2 free shipping method only to wholesale users.

Disable shipping methods for a certain store view

The module enables to choose shipping methods for a particular store view or a website. This function is very useful if you’re working worldwide and have several online shops.

Restrict or allow shipping with coupon

You can apply restrictions when a customer uses a coupon. For example, you provide your customers with Magento 2 free shipping in your store, and you have launched an advertising campaign with discount coupons. In this case it is possible to:

• remove free shipping if the customer uses a coupon;
• offer free shipping as a bonus to the coupon discount.

Limit particular shipping methods of the carrier

Let's say you are working with DHL carrier and want to restrict only ‘DHL ground’ shipping method. You can easily do it via module admin panel by setting rule condition as dhl::ground.

Restrictions for back-ordered items

It happens from time to time that the item is temporarily out of stock. In this case it makes sense to remove next day delivery shipping method for such items. You can easily do it with the help of the module.
