You have an international clientele, and you want to offer them a pleasant and adapted browsing experience?

Geolocation is here for that!

Offer visitors to your e-commerce site an interface in their language and prices in their currency with Panierdachat geolocation.


We know it makes you happy 😉

A new feature that will increase your number of sales

Have you ever bought online on a site displaying prices that are not in your currency?

If so, it must have happened only a few times and must not have been a smooth and enjoyable experience: having to convert to know the real price + being in doubt if conversion fees exist and if so, how much… We much prefer prices in our currency.

This is now automatically possible with Panierdachat. No need to let your visitors change the language and currency of your online store, it adapts to your visitors.

Of course, geolocation will allow offering the appropriate language and currency to your visitors only if you have configured this information.

If there is no English version or multiple currencies, your foreign visitors will see your online store by default as you have chosen.

How does it work?

Available in the Platinum package, this new feature is automatically activated for all stores with this package.

But how do we know the language and currency of your visitors?
It all happens in the IP address.

When you connect to the web, you have an IP address, and this address contains your exact current location.

Our geolocation system uses the IP information to determine the language and currency for the user.

  • If the visitor’s IP address is readable, the displayed language and currency will be configured according to their location.
  • If the visitor’s IP address is unreadable, it is the language and currency you have chosen by default that will be displayed for this visitor.

A quick overview of the configuration

  • French-speaking countries and provinces (e.g., Quebec) are directed to the French version (if available)
  • English-speaking countries and provinces are directed to the English version (if available)
  • Canadians will have the pre-configured Canadian dollar (if available)
  • Americans will have the pre-configured US dollar (if available)
  • Europeans will have the euro pre-configured (if available)
  • Visitors from other countries will have the default currency and language that you have chosen.
