The problem
Stores that only ship to a few countries still show Add to cart worldwide, then fail at payment or in support.
Who this WordPress plugin is for
Brands that sell direct in some countries and through retailers everywhere else.
Country Handoff is a proposed WordPress plugin for brands with a short ship-to list.
Shoppers in a blocked country see a handoff to a retailer URL on that product, instead of an add-to-cart button that will fail. Rules are per country, and a product can point at its own retailer.
Proposed plugin features
What this WordPress plugin would include in an initial release.
-
Rules by country
Choose the countries you sell to directly. Everyone else gets the handoff.
-
Retailer URL per product
Each product can name the retailer page for a blocked country.
-
Handoff, not a blank wall
The product stays visible. Only purchasing is replaced with a path to the retailer.
Not in the first release
Kept out of scope on purpose, so the first version ships small and focused.
- Geo-pricing
- Tax calculation
- A translation suite
