WooCommerce – How to Bulk Edit Product Country Restrictions

If you’re an Advanced Country Restrictions user, you may have noticed how great it is to restrict your products in selected countries. You can restrict products, entire categories, variations, etc. in selected countries.

However, you may have noticed that if you want to edit all products with a specific attribute or all products containing a specific keyword, it’s somewhat difficult because you cannot filter your products to apply that change to hundreds of products.

That’s why we want to show you how to edit hundreds of products country restrictions by keyword, attribute, or tag.

You need to install these two plugins:

• Advanced Country Restrictions: Click here to download it.
• WooCommerce Products Spreadsheet

The WooCommerce Products Spreadsheet helps you edit hundreds of products in a spreadsheet. You can change hundreds of regular prices, product types, categories, status, attributes, featured images, etc. in seconds using the spreadsheet and its powerful Bulk Edit tool.

Something really important about this plugin is that you can edit fields created by other plugins, such as the Advanced Country Restrictions plugin.

Therefore, you’ll have these options to edit your product country restrictions.

1- Edit product country restrictions INDIVIDUALLY in the spreadsheet

To edit your product country restrictions individually in the spreadsheet, you simply need to scroll right on the spreadsheet and search for the Meta: wcacr_disallowed_countries column.

Then, you just need to enter the country or countries where you need to restrict your products.

• If you want to restrict them in the United States, enter US.
• If you want to restrict them in El Salvador, enter SV.
• If you want to restrict them in Mexico, enter MX.
• And so on…

Finally, click on Save to apply the changes.
