IP Based - Currency, Show/Hide Products, Sidebar Information

[Shailesh G]

Is it possible to have IP based:

- Product Currency

- Show Products selective to IP Location

- Different sidebar section(informational section: links & text) for different IP location [ So, depending upon IP different content is displayed in the Sidebar section]

Hi @Shailesh G 

Yes, is it possible to aligned such requirement.

For that you will require to create a multisite concepts in magento so for different region/country - different content/products needs to be configured.

Then later you will require to country specific redirection - meaning from whatever country/region customer is browsing your site, you will require to fetch IP address and based on that IP address that country/region specific site needs to load to that customer so that they can able to see that specific content only.

For geo-ip redirection refer this extension - https://amasty.com/geoip-redirect-for-magento-2.html 

Hope it helps !

Hello @Shailesh G 

Product price is possible using GeoIP.

Any third party extension you can use for it.

Showing products based on it, and different sidebar, i think you should go with a multi-website/store view setup. By using the extension you can switch the currency and store view.

@Shailesh G as suggested by @Manthan Dave and @theMageComp you can use geoip for redirecting to multiple stores and you can create different store views for your currency so that using geoip you can redirect to a particular store view with that currency and products.

Thanks

Hi @Shailesh G ,

If you want to show different currencies, you could use a currency selector. When the currency is changed, it adds a query parameter to the URL. For example, exampleshop.com?cur=CAD or exampleshop.com?cur=USD. 

You could use GeoIP tools, for example, Geo Redirect can auto direct your visitor location by IP and redirect to the correct currency using the URL parameter.

To display different products, content(like headlines, contact info, banners, texts, images, etc) based on visitor IP geolocation, you could use Geo Content. With the inbuilt HTML editor, almost any content can be set as location-specific and displayed dynamically based on customers' IP location. 

Both tools are easy to set and integrate. Magento platform is perfectly supported. If you are interested about more details, you can look at the quick guides:
