Im honestly so mad at this app. It has a block countries screen. It says "Add the countries you want to Block" it lists all countries, and includes at the top a "Add non-US countries" "Add Non-EU countries" etc... So i click those, as Im trying to block basically China/India and other non-US, non-EU etc... Done right? Easy? I assumed those were at the top because they were frequently used too. I needed to walk away, but came back to half a dozen messages from customers saying the website was down. And it was.
Support said, sorry, "Add non-US" blocks the US. Im sorry... when its a "Block these countries" and you have a "non-US" option, that means block NON-US. Ie, The US is whitelisted. I mean, I should have realized before turning it on that that is BADLY worded. But I assumed both being an option at the top AND having read it over twice (and now again) that I had it set right. But no... they failed to account for their own double negative and Im out hundreds (if not thousands) because of it.
Thank you for taking the time to share this and we're truly sorry for the experience and the impact it had on your store.
You're absolutely right. The wording of "Add Non-US Countries" inside a "Block Countries" screen creates a double negative that reads as "block everything that is NOT the US," meaning the US should be safe. We completely understand why you interpreted it that way and honestly, it should have worked exactly as you expected.
The reality is that each rule in our app works independently, so combining "Non-US," "Non-EU," and "Non-AUS" rules ended up blocking all traffic rather than protecting those regions. This is a design and UX problem on our end, and we take full responsibility for the confusion and the lost revenue it caused.
We've already escalated this to our product team to improve so no other merchant has to go through the same experience.
We'd love the opportunity to make this right. We've reached out to you directly via chat and hope you'll give us a chance to show you the app working the way you intended.
Again, we're very sorry. Your feedback is directly driving changes to how we present these rules, and we genuinely appreciate you calling it out.
