Hello,
we have got a website/shop for cheese (Holland)
Now there is a problem.
We sell several cheeses, Dutch Cheeses which are not have be cooled transported.
But also foreign cheese which have to be sent cooled.
In Holland it is not a problem. We can guarantee the temperature.
But cooled transport in the rest of the world is is a problem.
Now we know it is possible to excludes counties for buying our products.
But is it also possible to exclude products for countries?
Example
Product A could be bought in Holland but not in the rest of the world.
Product B could be bought in the whole world.
perhaps collect the "fresh" cheeses into one category (hidden unpublished even) and restrict this cat just to local Dutch shipping
I think that you can use a vmcustom plugin. So you can prevent add to cart when country is not Dutch.
You need perhaps to add a second plugin when the user change country after in cart. I'm not sure if product plugin can check for country change in cart.
I don't think that you can full solve this with core functionnality.
I have the same problem as my customer wants different products for different countries, 1 thought I had on it was is there no way to unpublish and publish products based on language as with a multilanguage VM shop you can have different titles and descriptions etc is it therefore not possible to have a published product or category for english /en/ and it not to be published on german /de/ for arguements sake.
Hi ste-jackson,
The main developper say, it's bad to do this. But you can do it(only products) and i find myself, it's not "so" bad.
How to solve it in VM3 : http://docs.virtuemart.net/manual/general-concepts/206-hidden-configurations.html and the setting is prodOnlyWLang
