Kratom Bans WooCommerce
AvailableA WooCommerce guardrail plugin that sends cart and shipping address to the KratomBans checkout-validate API and either blocks the order or shows a warning, with fail-open/fail-closed options.
A kratom merchant or the bans-network acquirer gets checkout enforcement without maintaining a private county spreadsheet.
Why it matters
Static geo tables rot. This plugin treats jurisdiction status as a network API — the same SSOT idea as the bans properties.
What it does
Kratom-tagged products in cart + address → API validate → strict block or warning + optional compliance badge and debug id.
Operational advantage
One blocked illegal shipment is cheaper than a processor or legal event. The plugin is the last mile of the data product.
Build vs buy
Skip Woo checkout hooks, API client, modes, and admin test-connection UI.
What makes this different
Live SSOT validation with SKU-level cart payload — not a hardcoded state list plugin.
Where this gets used
- Strict block into banned jurisdictions
- Warning mode while a merchant reviews edge cases
- Fail-closed when the API is unreachable
Commercial paths
- Sold with KratomBans API keys
- Bundle with the Bans Compliance Network acquisition
- Agency standard for kratom Woo stores
Best buyer fit
Kratom Woo merchants and buyers of the KratomBans network who will keep the API alive.
Current status
Available. Depends on KratomBans API uptime. Blocks/classic checkout are evidenced; Woo Blocks compatibility should be confirmed.
Notes
Not legal advice. Offline operation is not claimed. Pair with the bans network listing for the data plane.
