Rule Don't ship Knives to CA NY
Delivery
CountryUnited States
Butterfly Knife can't be shipped to California. Remove it or use a different address.
Butterfly KnifeKnives
$34.00Shopify's shipping zones don't know what's in the cart.
You can stop shipping to a state, but not just for the knives. So a buyer in California orders one, you find out when you pack it, and you're left with a refund, a chargeback risk or a package that shouldn't have shipped.
StopShip checks the cart against the shipping address while the buyer is still at checkout. Everything else in your store keeps selling everywhere.
Set up your first rule in minutes.
Pick the products
Choose products, collections or tags from your store, or start from a category template.
Pick the places
Search states and territories, and paste any ZIP codes. The rule reads back as a sentence as you build it.
Save
It applies to your checkout right away. There's nothing to add to your theme for blocking to work.
What you get.
Rules that read like a sentence
“Don't ship the Knives collection to California and New York.” Target products, collections or tags, and choose “don't ship to” or “only ship to”.
States, territories and ZIP codes
All 50 states, DC, US territories and military addresses. Paste ZIP codes, ranges or 3-digit prefixes; up to 5,400 individual ZIPs across your rules.
A message that helps the buyer
The error sits next to the address and names the product, so buyers can remove it or change the address. Write it in English and, if you want, in Spanish.
A safety net on orders
Orders can still appear from drafts or other channels. Any that break a rule get the tag “StopShip: review”, so you catch them before shipping. Growth and Pro.
A notice on the product page
A theme block tells buyers where a product doesn't ship, before they reach checkout. No code. Growth and Pro.
Templates with their sources
Starting points for knives, vape, CBD, plants and seeds, aerosols and kratom, each with its date, confidence and public sources. You review them. Growth and Pro.
What StopShip doesn't do.
It doesn't give legal advice, decide what you can sell or verify anyone's age. It enforces the rules you set. Laws change, so templates show their date and sources, and you confirm you've reviewed them before they go live.
Start free. Upgrade when you need more rules.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need Shopify Plus?
No. It works on every Shopify plan, and you don't have to edit any theme code.
Does it tell me which states I can ship to?
No. You decide, and you're responsible for what you sell and where. Templates are a starting point with public sources, not legal advice. Check them with your advisor.
Does it verify a buyer's age?
No. StopShip only looks at where the order is going.
Can a restricted order still get through?
From the online checkout, the rule blocks payment. Staff can still create an order from a draft by choosing “Ignore and create order”, and other channels may skip checkout. On Growth and Pro, those orders get the tag “StopShip: review”.
What happens if I go over my plan?
Protection never turns off for billing. If you move to a smaller plan, the rules that fit keep blocking and the rest stay paused and visible until you upgrade.
What data does it use?
It reads the shipping state and ZIP to check your rules and doesn't store them. It keeps only totals per state. The details are in the privacy policy.
