1.Introduction
GeoIP Redirect Magento 2 extension by Milople automatically detects the customer’s current location and changes the store view with language and currency according to that. The store owner is allowed to block the fraud and hacker’s IP address. Let’s see the user guide for how to set up the Magento 2 GeoIP redirect extension to your store.
2. Extension Configuration
Once you are done with downloading the extension file, go to the Magento backend and configure the extension. Check the below screenshot.
Here, you need to enable the extension first then, enter the serial key that you will find from the “My Account” dashboard. Enter that to activate the module.
2.1 General Configuration
The admin can allow the customer to change the location from the front-end header. The admin can decide whether he wants to allow the customer to change the location manually if the customer wants or display the store view as per their current location. And hide the dropdown from the frond-end.
If the admin set this “Yes” then, customer can change their store view. Suppose the customer is from Netherland but he wants to see the product price in dollars so that he can change that manually from the dropdown options.
2.2 ipinfo.io Token Details
To autodetect the location you need to use a third-party API. Our GeoIP extension supports ipinfo.io. Create an account on the ipinfo.io and you will get the token.
Enter that token here to automatically detect the customer’s location.
