Geolocation

stay away from shopify's thing and their apps!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1. they sell themes incompatible with their native features (those themes selling in official theme store) and the support reject to do ANY kinds of follow-up; 2. this geolocation app has a lot of flaws - it doesn't detect customer's location and did not save customer's preference. Now I am hoping there is a better competitor to Shopify. *Crying*

The app was installed automatically while I was looking at the market section on Shopify. The app lacks everything, is not smooth to adapt, and doesn't work every time. This needs a lot of improvement even to be released to merchants. The idea is great but the application is bad. The ideal scenario is to make something smooth without pop-ups and everything so it redirects each customer to their own country/currency if we select that to happen.

Update- The thing related to what you have shared is that the app doesn't really direct people to their own country-language-currency. It works some times and some times doesn't.

Recommendations:

1. Have a video that showcases how to set up-make it work. The guide Shopify offer is not very clear. We don't know if languages will be translated automatically, same for currencies.
2. If not, should we translate every word for each language? Every time?
3. The app doesn't match or sync with the theme's aesthetics. For example, our theme uses a currency selector, the app just adds another one instead of syncing them together.

The idea scenario is to have an app that we just can customize, and just translates everything in terms of currency, and languages to each country and works 100% of the time so we can be sure it's working properly. I don't believe the popup at the beginning is a good idea, either this is to be shown at the footer or be done automatically.

Did not work, tried with VPN and prices stayed the same. I don't want a full size uncustomizable ugly pop up, and I want to be able to add selector to header. Customers shouldn't have to scroll to bottom to change currency. Not good enough.

Worked ok for years, just suddenly stopped. Big problems with my international retailers now. In the Geolocation preview all seems well, but it's not.

As far as I can see, this app does nothing.
When you go to the list to select the country you want the currency to be displayed in...the option for ALL the countries is USD.
I changed to another country and the text does not change to their language in the preview either.
Doesn't make any sense to me... not sure what it is supposed to do

It is a shame to launch such an app full of bugs! For visitors from Italy it offers to switch to the French store. It is not possible to fix.

The application does not work correctly. It does not change the language according to the country in which the user is located. Also, it does not change the language of the store, always the default language works.

UPD: That's not what I'm talking about. My site is already translated into the right languages with the application you are talking about. The Geolocation app is supposed to detect geolocation and switch the store to the language according to the settings. But it doesn't.

I just downloaded the app but I can’t add any languages, and preview button doesn’t even work! Any help ?

This app doesn’t make sense in the way it functions, which is unfortunate as we like the looks of it. We had hoped to find an app that could help us redirect visitors from our .com store to our local versions when applicable. The problem though is that the popup shows up regardless of if the customers visit the main URL or the local URL directly! Example A: Swedish customer visits our .com (English language) store. The popup shows up and suggests him to switch to our Swedish language version (.com/sv URL). This makes sense and is good for when a potential customer for instance clicks the link to our .com store in our Instagram bio. Example B: Swedish customer clicks our Swedish Facebook ad where we use our Swedish store (.com/sv URL) as landing page. The popup shows up and suggests him to switch to our Swedish language version (.com/sv URL), which is the same URL as the customer is already visiting! This is an unnecessary step that fills no other function than to bother the potential customer with a popup banner and then reload the same URL if they agree to “switch” to Swedish. How the app behaves in Example B doesn’t make any sense! It’s like if Amazon.com would show a popup for all American visitors and recommend them to switch to English language!
