BM: Country Blocker IP Blocker helps merchants control who can access their store and prevent unwanted visitors before they place an order. Merchants can block traffic by country, state, city, IP address, IP ranges, ISP/ASN, or referrer. The app can also detect visitors using VPNs, proxy networks, or data center connections. Checkout validation helps stop suspicious orders, while geolocation redirects and content protection features help merchants control store access and protect store content.
Is there a free plan, and what does it actually cost to use this app?
The app is free to install with a pay-as-you-go option: the first 500 page views are free, then $0.20 per 100 views with a monthly cap of $4. For unlimited, flat-rate access to all features, the Premium plan is $3.99/month with a 7-day free trial.
What exactly can I block — is it just countries, or more?
BM goes well beyond country blocking. You can block or allow visitors by country, state, city, IP address, IP ranges, ISP/ASN, and referrer. It also detects and blocks visitors using VPNs, proxy networks, Tor browsers, bots, and crawlers, and lets you blacklist specific customers by email, phone number, or name.
Can it stop fraudulent orders that have already slipped through, not just block visitors upfront?
Yes — the app includes checkout validation to stop suspicious orders at the checkout stage. It also supports auto-cancel of orders placed by blocked visitors, auto-refund, and automatic restocking, helping merchants recover from fraud even after it reaches the cart.
Will this app slow down my store?
Merchants in reviews consistently describe the app as working "quietly in the background" without noticeable performance impact. No merchants have reported store slowdowns as a concern in the publicly available reviews.
How difficult is setup — do I need a developer?
Merchants describe the app as "incredibly easy to set up" with no coding required. The dashboard lets you configure blocking rules in minutes. For more complex configurations like firewall and proxy server setup, the support team provides step-by-step walkthroughs.
What do other merchants say about the support team?
Support is highly praised across reviews. Merchants frequently mention a support agent named Amy by name, calling her "fast, helpful, and providing definitive solutions." One merchant noted that Amy even educated them on handling a fraud issue that was outside the app's direct scope, calling it "extraordinary customer service."
What happens to my store's theme code if I uninstall the app?
According to the developer's official response to a negative review, the app does not leave any code behind after uninstallation. Any theme code present after removal was noted to have been manually added by their developer at the merchant's prior request and approval.
