Jason commented on Is there an app that disables the "Add to Cart" button for certain products for certain countries?

Geolocation should only be used for general customisation -- not something as drastic as disabling add to cart buttons. It's very possible that:

  • the user is using a proxy to connect to the internet so their location is masked (aka: incorrect)
  • they are not browser the store from their "home" location (aka: travelling / holiday / etc)
  • the geolocation data returned is simply incorrect.

In those cases you could be blocking people that should be allowed to buy. I suppose for some stores those drawbacks are worth the risk.

Never seen an app, but nothing a quick search of store wouldn't answer for yourself. It can be handled without an app in any case.
