BlockX Country Blocker allows you to block visitors who arrive at your store from specific websites. This can be useful for preventing unwanted referral traffic from particular domains.


Step 1: Open Block by Referrer

  • Go to Block Settings.
  • Locate the Block by Referrer section.
  • Click Block by Referrer.




Step 2: Enable Referrer Blocking

  • On the Block by Referrer page, enable the feature if it is currently disabled.
  • Once enabled, you can add the websites or domains you want to block.




Step 3: Enter a Referrer Domain

  • Under Enter Referrer Domains, enter the domain you want to block.
  • For example: example.com
  • Then press Enter or use a comma to add the domain.



Step 4: Add Multiple Domains

  • You can add multiple domains to your blocked list.
  • For example: example.com
  • Each domain will be added as a tag after pressing Enter or entering a comma.



Step 5: Understand Domain Matching

  • BlockX automatically matches subdomains of the domain you enter.
  • For example, if you block: example.com
  • the rule will also cover: m.example.com
  • This means you only need to enter the main domain rather than adding each subdomain separately.



Step 6: Save the Rule

  • After entering the domain, make sure it is added to the list.
  • Only valid domains can be saved.
  • Visitors arriving from a blocked referrer will then be blocked or redirected according to your configured block-page settings.



Tips:

  • Enter the domain only, such as example.com.
  • You can add multiple referrer domains.
  • Subdomains are matched automatically.
  • Only valid domains can be saved.
  • Test the rule after adding a domain to make sure it works as expected.
  • Review your blocked referrers regularly and remove any domains you no longer want to block.
