Shipping Question – limit countries sold to for vendors

Hi Guys

After googling for a few hours i found this

<strong>//disable checkout if no shipping methods</strong>
function disable_checkout_button_no_shipping() {
    $package_counts = array();
     
    // get shipping packages and their rate counts
    $packages = WC()->shipping->get_packages();
    foreach( $packages as $key => $pkg )
        $package_counts[ $key ] = count( $pkg[ 'rates' ] );
 
    // remove button if any packages are missing shipping options
    if( in_array( 0, $package_counts ) )
        remove_action( 'woocommerce_proceed_to_checkout', 'woocommerce_button_proceed_to_checkout', 20 );
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_proceed_to_checkout', 'disable_checkout_button_no_shipping', 1 );

function prevent_checkout_access_no_shipping() {
    // Check that WC is enabled and loaded
    if( function_exists( 'is_checkout' ) && is_checkout() ) {
     
        // get shipping packages and their rate counts
        $packages = WC()->cart->get_shipping_packages();
        foreach( $packages as $key => $pkg ) {
            $calculate_shipping = WC()->shipping->calculate_shipping_for_package( $pkg );
            if( empty( $calculate_shipping['rates'] ) ) {
                wp_redirect( esc_url( WC()->cart->get_cart_url() ) );
                exit;
            }
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'wp', 'prevent_checkout_access_no_shipping' );

it hides the checkout button if the country selected by the customer has no delivery options.

it appears to work, as it prevents customers from purchasing if the vendor has not created a delivery method for the zone

its not great but it does the job

@WCFM
can you see any issues with this code, its not creating any issues in the browser or my error logs

Hi Guys

thanks for getting back, and sorry for my late reply

is it possible to allow vendors to add there own zones? like they can the counties

currently, vendors can only add shipping to zones that we as site admins have added

vendors have no way to add new zones

sorry if it has been asked before
