Current Version: v2023-12-04 (release notes)

OpenCart Versions: 1.5.2.x - 4.0.2.x

To Purchase: Visit Clear Thinking or opencart.com

Restrict the checkout process for your customers, based on a variety of criteria. You can create as many restrictions as you want, each with their own rules and message to display regarding why the customer cannot check out.

  • Upload and go — no core file modifications are necessary. The extension utilizes vQmod for OpenCart 1.5.x, ocMod for OpenCart 2.x/3.0, and Event hooks for OpenCart 4.0
  • Enjoy peace of mind: all settings are automatically saved to the database when changed, and are backed up to a backup file every time the admin panel is loaded. Settings can also be manually backed up, and then downloaded to restore from later, or to edit in a spreadsheet application.
  • Take advantage of the built-in extension updater. All that's required is to enter your current license key and click "Update".
  • Display a custom message when the checkout is restricted.
  • Create restrictions quickly and easily using the clean admin interface and intuitive rules system. Available rule types include:
    - Cart/Item Criteria: length, width, height, L+W+H, price, quantity, stock, total, volume, weight
    - Date/Time Criteria: day of the week, date, time
    - Location Criteria: city, country, distance, geo zone, location comparison, postcode, zone
    - Order Criteria: currency, customer group, language, store
    - Product Criteria: category, manufacturer, product, or build your own group
  • Build rule sets to apply multiple rules to a restriction at once. Re-use the same rule set to quickly create the restrictions you need.
  • Group products, categories, and manufacturers together however you want to create Product Groups. These groups can then be used to determine when restrictions apply.
  • Use the included Testing Mode to determine why restrictions are not working as expected on the front-end, helping to debug complex rule interactions.

Updated to v300.1

Due to limitations in the opencart.com license system, a new extension was released on opencart.com for OpenCart 3.0 compatibility. However, free updates are still available for anyone that has purchased the extension in July 2016 or after --- just contact Clear Thinking here: http://www.getclearthinking.com/contact

Release Notes:
- NOTE: The extension now uses ocMod instead of vQmod, as required by the OpenCart cloud. If upgrading from a previous version, make sure to delete the old vQmod file, and then click "Refresh" in Extensions > Modifications.

- Added: compatibility with OpenCart 3.0.0.x
- Added: native compatibility with OpenCart 2.3.0.x (You can remove the compatibility fix, or keep using it if you want to)

- Removed: compatibility with OpenCart 1.5.x and 2.0.0.0 for new versions
- Updated: backup files no longer have an EXTENSION column, so you'll need to remove that from old backup files if you plan on restoring from them

- Fixed: "Undefined index: rule" error when a restriction has both a blank name (to disable it) and no rules
