Main issue: Hide specific product collections by country and whether this would be possible at the start of the new year.
Initial need: Control webshop content so certain collections aren’t visible in specific countries. Asked for confirmation on timing (early new year).
Proposed approach: Use IP-based geolocation to block visibility outside defined regions.
Caveat: IP-based filtering is discouraged because it’s easy to bypass.
Latest update: Native controls now exist to publish products by market using Shopify Markets. This lets merchants choose which products are available in each geographic market/country (see Shopify’s “Publishing products with Markets” help resource).
Outcome: Yes, limiting product visibility by country is possible now via Shopify Markets, without relying on IP geolocation.
Status: Effectively resolved with a recommended solution; no remaining open questions beyond implementing the Markets-based configuration.
Hello,
Some weeks ago I asked how I could specify our webbshop content by country. We don’t want a product collection to show in a specific country. I was wondering if someone have further information when this will be possible.
Last time I checked we where told that it can be done early in the new year.
Can we be sure that this will be possible from the beginning of the new year?
The feature you are looking for can be achieved using Geo-location IP tracking. So any user opening the website outside of the collection defined on backend will not see the content.
We do not recommend doing this based on IP, as this can be easy to circumvent. You can now natively control what products are available to what market: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/markets/publishing-products-with-markets
