Restricting user to buy products based on Pincode/PostCode

Hi Team,

I want an extension wherein a user wont be able to add to cart any products if he/she doesn't fall in the list of Post code/Zip Cope/Post Code predefined by me. The reason for such a validation is that because we want to cover our business first only to a particular area. We want the user to compulsorily check if delivery is possible for his area even before he/she can add product to cart. Please help me with this

I am having a same problem. Did you got a solution for this??

If you use Geo IP Tools to get the postcode when the customer first visits the site, then you can use it in conjunction with Block Products and Pages to stop customers from adding those products to their cart. In fact, the products will be hidden completely based on the postcode, so customers won't even be able to see them.

If you want customers to be able to see the products, but not check out, then you could instead get Restrict Checkout. It can also use the postcode found by Geo IP Tools / set by the customer in the pop-up, to stop checkout from occurring based on the postcode.

Feel free to take a look at the screenshots and demo site, and if you're interested let me know at www.getclearthinking.com/contact if you have any further questions.
