Selling virtual products to specific states only

[nickwhawkr4637]

The majority of the products we sell are virtual products we can only sell to certain states. Is there a way to restrict people from buying our products based on what state they live in?

I don't believe that there's an out-of-the-box way, but here's one potential solution: 

Use a payment restrictions extension, like https://marketplace.magento.com/amasty-payrestriction.html, and set up a rule that will limit payment methods for certain products/categories/attributes by State. 

I've had success in using the Amasty payment restrictions extension in other use cases, but there are several payment restrictions extensions you could consider: https://marketplace.magento.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=restrict%20payment

Whether you go the extension route or not, hopefully, this at least gives you some good ideas of how to potentially achieve your goal.

Best of luck!

That Amasty extension only restricts for shipping address not billing address and since these are all virtual products there is no shipping address so that won't work.

Any other ideas? I am all ears. Thank you!!

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your interest in our Payment Restrictions for Magento 2 extension.

Our Payment Restrictions extension allows making restrictions in the billing section only by country and city. Unfortunately, it's not possible to limit by billing address (by states in your case) out-of-the-box. However, we could suggest you consider the Custom Development option for you. Could you please email our Customer Success Manager at anastasia.savich@amasty.com to receive more details regarding your request?

We're looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,
Amasty Team
