# Exception-Based Redirect Rule

An Exception-Based Redirect Rule allows you to redirect visitors from all countries except specific countries. 

For example, if you want to redirect all visitors to the global store except **Canadian visitors**, you can create an exception based rule with all other countries except Canada.

For an exception-based redirect rule, [create a redirect rule](https://help.spicegems.com/geoip-country-redirect/country-redirect/create-redirect-rule), and add all the visitor countries except the country that you don't want to redirect.

In the below snapshot, we have created a rule and added all countries in the "**Visitors Country**" except Canada.

In the app, you can add alpha-2 codes to add multiple countries in bulk:

To add the countries in the rule, you need to add **alpha-2 country codes** in **comma-separated** (e.g., `US, UK, FR, DE`).

* You can find the [alpha-2 codes for all countries here](https://help.spicegems.com/geoip-country-redirect/general-settings/alpha-2-country-codes).
