Hello, I am looking for ways to block specific countries or Asia in general from using my paypal account for payments as my partner is handling them differently. I was hoping for a way to block them through PayPal filters however I have hard time finding an up to date guide on how to do this.



Thanks in advance.
Regards.

That was very helpful, Thank you very much for your help. I might able to put an 'And ' condition and block the checkout product page on Asia as well

You can use a cloaker and select different content for different countries, showing one place one paypal and a different one for your partner.

What if the user is using a residential proxies, does cloakers can detect those too? Ty for your reply

there are 1-2 services in the Misc marketplace that offer fraud prevention with a free plan that detect proxies quite well.

This can be done easy and free with Cloudflare and php.

It can detect the country, yes.

Only way a residential user can hide their country is by tunneling through some other path like a VPN. Residential IPs still identify as a certain country (because of their IP range).
 
Its really easy. No matter which platform you use, you can filter payment option based on the country.

For woocommerce as example, there are dozens of plugin where show payment options based on the visitor ip or the country he choses.

If they are scammers who steal paypal accounts, use totally different website for these countries.

There are tons of options available based on the your situation

Did you say if I use a proxy they can see my country / real IP/ ? How?
I thought they will see the proxy IP / country, not mine.

I thought you wanted to hide the proxy's own country of origin as well, sorry.

BTW some proxies do forward your IP too, so check for that.

How to check? Can you refer to a guide? I want to learn more about proxy usage and looks like you know a lot more than me. Yes, I am going to Google it, but I appreciate if you share a source. Thanks
