The Magento 2 Shipping Restrictions Extension allows store owners to apply flexible rules based on product attributes, customer groups, coupon codes, cart details, or specific time periods.

Challenge
E-commerce stores often struggle with shipping regulations, high costs, and inefficient delivery methods. Some regions prohibit certain products, while others have costly or unavailable shipping options. Additionally, stores may need to offer different shipping choices based on customer type or order size, but Magento’s default settings lack these controls.
Solution

This extension helps reduce costs, comply with shipping regulations, and provide the best shipping experience for each customer segment.

Practical Use Cases of Magento 2 Shipping Restrictions Extension for Better Delivery Control
Here are a few real-world use cases that show how the Magento 2 Shipping Restrictions Extension can help store owners manage shipping methods more effectively.
1. Restrict Cash on Delivery for High-Risk Locations
A store selling electronics may want to disable Cash on Delivery (COD) for remote areas where failed deliveries are common.
With the extension, the admin can hide COD for selected zip codes, states, or countries while keeping prepaid methods available.
Example:
Hide COD for rural regions and allow only:
- Credit Card
- Bank Transfer
- PayPal
2. Disable Express Shipping for Oversized Products
Furniture or heavy equipment stores often cannot ship bulky items through express couriers.
The extension can automatically hide Express Shipping when a cart contains products above a certain weight or from specific categories.
Example:
If cart contains:
- Dining tables
- Gym equipment
Then: - Disable Overnight Shipping
- Show Freight Shipping only
3. Restrict Free Shipping for Discounted Products
Some merchants do not want to offer Free Shipping on already discounted items because it reduces profit margins.
The extension can remove free shipping when promotional products are added to the cart.
Example:
If product has:
- Special Price
- Clearance Label
Then: - Hide Free Shipping
- Show Standard Shipping only
4. Show Specific Shipping Methods for Wholesale Customers

Using customer group rules, the extension can display different shipping methods for each customer type.
Example:
For Wholesale Customers:
- Truck Delivery
- Custom Freight Quote
For Retail Customers:
- Standard Shipping
- Same-Day Delivery
5. Block Shipping to Restricted Countries
International sellers may face legal or carrier limitations in certain countries.
The extension can prevent selected shipping methods or completely block delivery to restricted destinations.
Example:
For selected countries:
- Hide all shipping methods
OR - Allow only local pickup requests for special handling
6. Restrict Shipping Based on Cart Value
A merchant may want premium shipping methods available only for higher-value orders.
The extension can show or hide shipping methods based on subtotal.
Example:
If cart subtotal is below $50:
- Hide Same-Day Delivery
If subtotal exceeds $200:
- Enable Free Priority Shipping
