One More Great Extension in Our Portfolio: GeoIP Redirect

The ultimate goal of any online store is a simple, fast, smooth shopping process, and great customers’ experience, as a result.

A lot of tiny and significant improvements of web store functionality aim to bring customers to the checkout and order completion naturally.

However, things change when you sell to not only the local community of your town or, perhaps, national customers, but to international visitors, as well. In this case, multiple obstacles appear, from the language and currency to cultural differences, which are able to negate all your seemingly successful initiatives.

Note: 13% of customers abandon their carts because of the prices presented in foreign currencies. Source: Statista.

Geo Targeting Typical Applications


Geo targeting is widely used in ecommerce and allows merchants to provide customers from different countries with excellent shopping experience.

Dedicated stores deliver customers a tailored content, which takes into account cultural peculiarities of different nations. The language they speak, the currency they pay in, and the taxes specific to one or another country – all this makes your store closer to visitors and puts you on a par with local and familiar stores.

Using the geographical targeting you can provide customers with only relevant information regarding the nearest to their location physical stores and distribution warehouses. You can also differentiate certain prices, shipping terms and make specific offers for customers originating from definite locations.

So, if you need more information regarding the GeoIP Redirect Magento extension, you can visit the module’s page in our store, or try the extension in action in our demo store.
