Although shipping is not the way you earn money, it has a significant influence on this process. Inconvenient shipping conditions distract people from buying anything on your ecommerce website and make you lose potential profit. Therefore, it is vital to improve the default shipping system of Magento 2 by installing Amasty Shipping Restrictions. Thus, you will be able to create delivery conditions that satisfy everyone.

Features

• Disable selected shipping carrier methods;
• Customer’s shipping data as a basis of restriction;
• Product attributes as a basis of restriction;
• Order information as a basis of restriction;
• Customer group-based restrictions;
• Shipping restrictions on a store view basis;
• Custom shipping areas with specific destinations;
• Ability to enable/disable shipping with coupons;
• Support for multi-address checkout.

The first and the most crucial aspect of the Amasty Shipping Restrictions Magento 2 module is that it makes shipping legal and cost-effective. Let’s explore each part of the feature in more detail. Chances are, you are selling worldwide, and some shipping methods supported in some countries must be restricted in others for legal reasons. While the default Magento 2 does not provide such opportunities, you can leverage this functionality after installing the Amasty Shipping Restrictions Magento 2 extension. Usually, shipping carriers offer customers various shipping methods, like air, land, sea shipments, and others. With the module, you can restrict specific methods that you don’t want to use without blocking the rest.

As for cost-effective shipping, the module allows merchants to disable methods that are not cost-effective. For instance, you know how to send orders to India by plane cheaply but cannot afford the same conditions in the case of Japan. With the Amasty Magento 2 shipping extension, you can easily restrict the appropriate method for that country.

Shipping rules can be based on various limitation criteria created with the help of the customer, cart, and product attributes. Thus, you can easily restrict shipping for non-standard goods or to distant countries. You can use any product attribute to create limitations that may be used to provide better services. For instance, you sell some premium goods. To provide customers with them in the fastest possible way, restrict ground mail for sending orders that contain these goods. This way, you can leave only the fastest and most reliable methods.

It is also necessary to mention that the Amasty Shipping Restrictions Magento 2 module fully supports discounts and taxes. In a situation when you offer free shipping for a specific cart subtotal, and a customer uses a discount code reducing the subtotal below the default sum, free shipping won’t be applied.

To keep the nose clean, Amasty Shipping Restrictions for Magento 2 restricts next day delivery for the out of stock products. Thus, you will never dissatisfy customers with failed promises. At the same time, you can set restrictions on particular days, like holidays or weekends.

As for restrictions based on customer attributes, they are designed to provide particular customers with specific conditions. You can use the feature as a limitation or an additional layer of motivation. The most obvious example may be free shipping for a birthday.

In case of customer group restrictions, the Amasty Shipping Restrictions Magento 2 module may be used as a reliable B2B solution. You can freely leverage this functionality to provide wholesale customers with specific conditions. If there are multiple store views, each one can get a unique set of shipping methods.

Moreover, it is possible to combine selected regions into custom shipping areas and use them when setting shipping restriction rules. As a store manager, you can decide which particular countries, states, cities, and zip/postal codes will be included in or excluded from the shopping area. Thus, you can set more precise rule conditions and fine-tune your delivery terms in line with your sales strategy.

As for coupons, the Amasty Shipping Restrictions Magento 2 extension also provides impressive flexibility. You can either allow free shipping if a customer uses a coupon code or disable coupons for shipping at all. It’s up to you to decide what strategy to choose.

Before we proceed to the backend section, take a look at the customer reviews that prove the reliability of the module:

Backend

All shipping restrictions are gathered in a grid that consists of 9 columns:

• Checkbox (select rules for applying mass actions);
• ID (each rule gets an ID);
• Status (Active or Inactive);
• Name (a title identifying a restriction rule);
• Carriers (all carriers restricted by the rule);
• Methods (all methods related to the rule);
• Customer Groups (the restriction is applied to these groups);
• Store Views (the restriction is applied to these store views);
• Actions (you can duplicate the rule and create a new one on its basis).

Note that all columns except Checkbox and Action support sorting; ID, Status, Name, and Methods columns have filters.

All options related to each rule are divided into five tabs: Shipping Methods, Conditions, Coupons and discounts, Stores & Customer Groups, and Days and Time.

In Shipping Methods, specify such general information as a rule name, status (active/inactive), restricted shipping methods and carriers, and an error message.

In Conditions, you have to deal with ‘If ALL/ANY of these conditions are TRUE/FALSE’ statement. It is possible to apply the rule to all orders, backorders only, or non-backorders.

The Coupons and discounts tab is divided into two sections: Apply Rules Only With and Do NOT Apply Rules With. Both contain the same options: Coupon Code (the restriction will be applied to the coupon only: configure it in Promotions / Shopping Cart Rules) and Shopping Cart Rule (the restriction is applied to ANY coupon from the specified discount rule: configure the rule first). Options from the second section have the opposite influence.

In Stores & Customer Groups, you can apply the restriction in the admin area, as well as to particular store views. Next, choose customer groups that will be covered by the rule.

The Days and Time tab lets you choose specific days and a time interval when the rule will be activated.

All created shipping areas are gathered on a separate grid that includes such information as an ID, name, and description of each area, as well as its status.

When creating a new shipping area, you will need to give it a name and set its status as active or inactive. You can also add a more detailed description.

Then, set the area conditions: select countries, states/regions, cities, zip/postal codes, and shipping address lines that will be included or excluded from the configured shipping area.

As for general settings, they let you include tax in subtotal, use subtotal after discount, and show error messages.
