Hi there, @Maineflycompany . Thank you for taking the time to follow up on this thread!
I’ve gone ahead and flagged this thread for our Developers for their awareness, as it’s clear that some users would benefit from having the ability to prevent storefront access from certain regions. I can’t promise what may come as a result of sharing your feedback, but you can trust it’s been brought to our Team for their awareness.
Though Shopify doesn’t offer a native solution to this issue, there are several well-rated third party applications that you can add to your store to block access from specific regions. I recommend taking a look at this page from our App Store to explore the options available to you!
