I sell only digital downloads in my shop. The new tax requirements resulting from Brexit are a bit overwhelming and so I’m planning to just block those countries from shopping at my store.
I wish Shopify had a simply process for this, but I have not found it.
Does anyone know of the best way to do this?
Thank you!

Hi,
Sorry that’s a hassle. Out of the box Shopify alone doesn’t provide a way to block specific countries from visiting your store. That’s why I made Blockade.
You can block up to 3 countries for free so that should cover your use case. Also you can customize the blocked traffic to be routed to a different URL or design the blocking page to show a call-to-action to another store that can fulfill their order.
You can also block or allow traffic by:
No need to change your theme either, install or uninstall at any time without having to code anything.
You can download it here: https://apps.shopify.com/blockade
You could try Ultimate Country Blocker. You can block any country from visiting your website. The block also carries over to the checkout. There is a visitor log for you to monitor incoming traffic.
