Auto Currency switch based on location

unseenwolf

async function getCurrencyByLocation() {
    try {
        const response = await fetch('https://ipapi.co/json/');  // Replace with your preferred GeoIP service
        const data = await response.json();
        const country = data.country_code;

        let currency = 'INR'; // Default currency
        if (country === 'US') currency = 'USD';
        else if (country === 'AE') currency = 'AED';

        updatePrices(currency);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error fetching location:', error);
    }
}

function updatePrices(currency) {
    // Example: Logic to update displayed currency and prices
    document.querySelectorAll('.price').forEach(priceElement => {
        const priceInINR = parseFloat(priceElement.dataset.inr); // Store original INR price in a data attribute
        let convertedPrice;

        if (currency === 'USD') {
            convertedPrice = (priceInINR / 83).toFixed(2);  // Example INR to USD conversion rate
        } else if (currency === 'AED') {
            convertedPrice = (priceInINR / 22.5).toFixed(2); // Example INR to AED conversion rate
        } else {
            convertedPrice = priceInINR.toFixed(2);
        }

        priceElement.textContent = `${currency} ${convertedPrice}`;
    });
}

// Call the function on page load
window.onload = getCurrencyByLocation;

const response = await fetch (‘https: // ipapi .co / json/’);

I added space in link, because it is converting into preview mode.

unseenwolf Hi I have done this functionality for my client to auto-switch currency and auto-detect language. using ipinfo.io

Note: I modified the core function for now

Create new Function to get the country code from IP:

if (! function_exists('get_country_code_from_IP')) {
    function get_country_code_from_IP(): ?string
    {
        $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
        $cacheKey = "country_code_for_{$ip}";
        // Check if country code for this IP is already cached
        if (Cache::has($cacheKey)) {
            return Cache::get($cacheKey);
        }
        $apiKey = 'a0a6428cfbf7c0';
        $url = "https://ipinfo.io/{$ip}?token={$apiKey}";
        try {
            // Fetch data from ipinfo.io
            $ch = curl_init();
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
            $response = curl_exec($ch);
            curl_close($ch);
            $data = json_decode($response, true);
            if (isset($data['country'])) {
                $countryCode = strtoupper($data['country']);
                // Cache the country code for 24 hours
                Cache::put($cacheKey, $countryCode, now()->addDay());
                return $countryCode;
            }
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            // Handle exceptions if needed
            // Log::error("IP info API failed: " . $e->getMessage());
        }
        return null;
    }
}

then update this function
Path: platform\plugins\ecommerce\src\Supports\CurrencySupport.php

 public function detectedCurrencyCode(): string|null
    {
        $currencies = $this->countryCurrencies();
       // new code start
        $countryCode = get_country_code_from_IP();

        if ($countryCode) {
            return Arr::get($currencies, $countryCode);
        }
     // new code end

        // Fallback to HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE if `ipinfo.io` doesn't work
        if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'])) {
            if (extension_loaded('intl') && class_exists('Locale')) {
                $httpAcceptLanguage = Locale::acceptFromHttp($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']);
                $languages = Language::getListLanguages();

                foreach ($languages as $language) {
                    if ($language[1] == $httpAcceptLanguage) {
                        $httpAcceptLanguage = $language[4];
                        break;
                    }
                }
            } else {
                $httpAcceptLanguage = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 0, 2);
            }

            return Arr::get($currencies, strtoupper(substr($httpAcceptLanguage, 0, 2)));
        }
        return null;
    }

@Botble please give us the hooks to do that. if you provide hoos then I have a plane to make the plugin for language and currency based on location.

Botble

Ishtiaq Ahmed Can you make a plugin for this and share it on marketplace.botble.com?

Ishtiaq Ahmed

Botble, I’m sure I can make it, but we need the hooks or actions to interact with your code. Can you mention when you have done this?
