How to Block a Customer


Mort-lemur

Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

 

Due to information I receive regarding unpaid invoices and other unpleasant things I need to have the ability to block certain customers from purchasing from my site.

 

I need the ability to do this by address rather than name, as they sometimes use bogus names, but always the same address.

 

Is there a way or contribution to do this?

 

Thanks

Now running on a fully modded, Mobile Friendly 2.3.4 Store with the Excellent MTS installed - See my profile for the mods installed ..... So much thanks for all the help given along the way by forum members.

A simple way to do this is to edit your .htaccess file to block IP addresses that you do not want accessing the site

 

Example:

 

order allow,deny
deny from 127.0.0.1
deny from 127.0.0.2
allow from all

Hi,

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

However, Sometimes I wont have the IP address recorded and that wont work for dynamic IP addresses.

 

I already use htaccess to block countries and "suspicious" users.

 

Im really looking to block the postal address (street / village etc)

 

Thanks

I need a way to block by name and/or email address. There are a few people I wish to block by name and email address from shopping at my store. I am opening an adult e-commerce store, and I wish to keep a couple of exes from signing up. I know their email addresses, and I want to block one by name. She is one of two people with that name, and I want to keep her from signing up. I have my reasons why I don't want her, or the others, buying from me. My advertising plan is to start with friends by word of mouth, and I have friends that are still friends with them. They WILL hear about it, and may try to sign up, not knowing I own and run it. I'd also like to be able to set a custom message when they get rejected by the system, letting them know that they, specifically, are not allowed to sign up. Maybe a modification of the following contribution: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1003 Even better is if it can generate a pop up window with the error. The pop up would also be handy for the contribution, instead of the not too noticeable line at the top. I'd like to customize a message for each person I am blocking, too. Can anyone help me with this?
