How to configure GEO Location?

Geo location allows the extension to determine to country of the visitor based on their IP address. We offer compatibility with various services for you to choose from.

The geolocation functionality is designed for the visitor's benefit, not the shop owner's. It helps suggest an appropriate shop in the store picker based on the visitor's location.

Cloudflare

When using the Cloudflare GEO IP service no access key is required, but it does depend on the $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY'] being set. When using this service ask your hosting provider to verify this is the case.

Apache GEO IP Module

This service also does not require an access key required, but relies on $_SERVER['REDIRECT_GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE'] being set. When using this service ask your hosting provider to verify this is the case. 

Access key

This option is required depending on the GEO location service selected in the previous option.

Visit the documentation of the selected service to find your access or API key
