Securify help for Shopify merchants
How to allow only certain countries
Keep your store open to a few countries by blocking every other one.
How it works
Securify works from a list of blocked countries. There is no separate switch for "allow only these countries". Any country not on your list stays open.
Set it up
- Open Securify from Apps in your Shopify admin.
- Open Block Countries in the menu.
- Block each country you do not want, one at a time, on the Interactive Country Map or with the search field under Current Restrictions.
- Check Current Restrictions. The countries you want to serve must not be on it.
Each country is saved as soon as you choose it. If you need this for a long list of countries, message us in the chat first.
Before you rely on it
- Search engines. Verified crawlers such as Googlebot and Bingbot pass a country block, unless you block that crawler in Manage Good Bots in Settings.
- Your own team. Staff or suppliers in a blocked country need their IP address on the Allow List, or a device pass.
- Accuracy. Location detection is not perfect. See Why country blocking is not 100% accurate.
Questions
Can I change the list later? Yes. Add or remove a country at any time. Click Remove next to it, or click it on the map.
How do I check it works? Open Visitor Logs, click Blocked and choose Country in the block reason filter.
