I. Introduction
Owning a Prestashop online store that functions globally is not as hard as it
seems. Or if I correct myself, it’s not as hard as it seems when you have the
right modules for the right task. A location detection module for Prestashop
is something that is essential for a globally functioning business website since
you get customers from many locations around the world. Our module GEO
Country is one such module that can detect location and set other location
dependent values for the customer.
Once the location of the customer is detected, the module will set country,
language and currency, the first time they land on your site. Taxes, shipping
cost and other relevant information will also be shown correctly for the
customers depending on their location without showing the default values of
Prestashop. The GEO Country module also helps you install the GeoIP
feature (Geolocation by IP) for Prestashop easily.

III. Country, language and currency settings
At this point, the installation of this Prestashop location detection module is
finished. However, enabling of all the countries, languages and currencies to be used
in your shop still remains. This is a necessary task because the module can detect
and set the customer’s country, language and currency only if they are enabled in
the shop. Otherwise it will return the default country, language and currency.
1. Enable countriesGo to “Localization / countries” and enable all the countries that are needed for your shop.
2. Enable languages- Add translation package: Go to “Localization/Translation”. Search for the
languages you need from “Add/update a language” and click “Add or update a language” to add the languages to your shop.

- Enable the languages (if they are disabled): Although you have added the language translation packages to your website, you still need to do one more check to make sure they are all active.

3. Enable shop currencies- Go to “Localization / currencies”. Click “Add new currency” to add a currency.
