In the Location tab, you can set up the plugin to automatically select currency based on customers’ country or language.

Auto Detect: Auto select currency

1. Auto Detect: There are 4 options for you to select
– No: Turn off the auto-detect currency option, customers will select currency by themselves
– Auto select currency: Auto detect currency based on the country of customers. The plugin will detect customers’ countries based on their IP Addresses. Then select the currency which you assign in option 4 of this tab.
– Approximate Price: The plugin will detect customers’ country based on their IP, then display an approximate price in their native country under WooCommerce price
– Polylang: Auto-select currency based on Polylang language.

You can refer to this video guide:

– TranslatePress Multilingual: This option helps to set up the currency by language.

2. Geo API: The Geo API you want to use to detect customers’ countries. There are 3 options WooCommerce and External.

– If you choose “WooCommerce”, the 3rd service WooCommerce uses:

‘ipinfo.io’ => ‘https://ipinfo.io/%s/json‘,

‘ip-api.com‘ => ‘http://ip-api.com/json/%s‘,

– If you choose “External”, we use: http://www.geoplugin.net

– If you choose “Inherited from server“: This option helps to use Geo API as inherited from the server. Please regard the note under this option before selecting.

– You choose “MaxMind Geolocation” if you want to retrieve customer data directly from the data detected by WooCommerce. Upon configuring the MaxMind License Key, our plugin fetches details automatically. It’s crucial to understand that this process is managed by WooCommerce, and our plugin does not interfere with it.

3. Currency by Country: With Auto Detect being set as “Auto select country” when this option is turned on, currencies will be displayed based on customers’ countries.

If the Auto Detect feature is set to be “Approximate price’

– Enable: Plugin will detect the customer’s IP address, and the approximate price will be shown with currency based on the country’s respective currency as in the table below the option

– Disable: Approximate price will be detected based on the country’s official currency
4. Countries: Select which currency will be displayed for customers from which countries.
5. Action:
