Restrict Shipping Methods

Current Version: v2025-2-18 (release notes)

OpenCart Versions: 1.5.2.x - 4.1.0.x

Full Resolution Images: Available at the OpenCart forums

Restrict the shipping methods available to your customers! You can set each shipping method to be displayed based on a wide variety of criteria, as well as restrict individual rates within each method.

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.
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".
Restrict shipping methods 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, shipping rate, 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 shipping methods are enabled or disabled.
Use the included Testing Mode to determine why shipping methods are not appearing as expected on the front-end, helping to debug complex rule interactions.
