Will SuperMemo Store (super-memo.com) block orders from my country once I become a successful franchisee?
No. You will need to ensure that users that come to your native site, stay in your site. Blocking orders coming from specific IPs can be circumvented via VPNs. When done for marketing reasons, such blocks often results in absurd situations. For example, you cannot order downloads from the Microsoft Store if you are located in one country, but you can easily do it from a neighboring country (even within the European Union). Those customers are often sent to purchase shrink-wrapped products from a local dealer, often at higher prices. That’s a global waste of time, resources and energy (both physical and human). We want to see SuperMemo always available via simple downloads from any country on the globe: free or commercial. Some download problems may be a result of a local government policy (e.g. from China).
