antoine@ultro Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 As mentioned on their website, Maxmind will no longer offer upate of their City database recommended in the Prestashop documentation. Quote As of April 1, 2018, updated versions of the GeoLite Legacy databases will be available to redistribution license customers only, although anyone can continue to download the March 2018 GeoLite Legacy builds. On January 2, 2019, the last build will be removed from our website. GeoLite Legacy database users will need to switch to the GeoLite2 or commercial GeoIP databases and update their integrations by January 2, 2019. 3 questions: - does someone know another free alternative with ipv4 and ipv6 data? - does someone use the https://www.ip2location.com databases with success? - can we switch from a cities database to a countries database which is less expensive? I've seen this Forge ticket PSCSX-5643, but it has been closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 The geolitecity.dat file is 'best case' accurate 75-85% of time. Note: as native Geo Location denies shopping for non-resolved IP's then removing 'free/slight accurate' db is best thing for geo location in PrestaShop. PrestaHeroes Geo Targeting Pro module supports two commercial maxmind db's and the geo insights tab shows 99.4-99.9% resolve rate and includes ipv6 support. This is by far the best geo targeting module in PS module eco...I know this to be true. Happy selling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlinecam Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 GeoLite has country reported as "EU" if it is not sure which country in Europe its located, same as AP. It is causing issues in some of our reporting features. We are trying to avoid it by using IP2Location LITE which has the results by actual country. Wish we can have the IP2Location LITE solution ready for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestaHeroes USA Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I disagree above that geolitecity is as accurate as claimed unless you have built in IP resolve rate like Geo Targeting Pro. the big mistake people make because they do not understand is that if you enable PS Geo Location, non-resolved IP addresses are not allowed to shop. PS native Geo Location does support IP country but is built to 'restrict' visitors from excluded countries. another problem with other solutions is that while they may localize the country via mmdb for example, when the visitor logs in their country is changed to 'registered country' which will affect specific price by country, i.e. you showed prices for IP country but they will change if registered country is different. Understanding how native Geo Location works (if you want to restrict shopping) is very important when considering how you implement a geo strategy. so 75-85% resolve for geolitecity in US, and maxmind is US company....I have no confidence when declared 99% in EU. I can tell you for sure that is not true again because we have the stats in our module to prove otherwise. be careful when picking a geo solution and understand how native works before implementing. happy geo'ing, el Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicoX Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) What should I do here? I currently have a GeoLiteCity.dat file in tools/geoip/. Maxmind currently offers the lite verision with a file ending as .mmdb, GeoLite2-City.mmdb. Should I delete the old file and replace it with this? There are 3 databases GeoLite2 City, GeoLite2 Country and GeoLite2 ASN, should I just use City?

PrestaHeroes USA Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 remember, native geo location logic will disallow shopping when IP does not resolve. this is why geo targeting pro was born, it allows you to set a country for non-resolved IP's so they can shop. Understanding this important fact when implementing native geo location should be considered when choosing the IP lookup source. Free has 75-85% resolve rate, a bit better in US.

Site loads within a half second, while when geolocation was active it took 1-2 seconds. Anyone else tested this and expirenced similar results?

nicoX Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I can confirm after testing with my other site that geolocation is having a huge impact on the TTFB.

nuno.note Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 the important thing about geolocation is - detect the country or region (obviously that the accurate country is the most real) - in case of not detecting, how to proceed (the perfect thing is to consider a country by default, this country should be the country where most visitors come from) - after login what should be considered, cookie country or adress county if we verify the module geolocation pro, consider these scenarios a customer that accesses the store sees the prices and buys the products with those same prices. do not forget that some payment modules when returning to the store the successful payment come from different ips of the customer, and will certainly create purchases with wrong prices Attention this is not to advertise the module, I hope that the module of prestablog also consider what I said, because as it supports the new free databases of maxmind is a good alternative I'm actually considering buying for testing.

But it lets you select the free db as well. I did look at it too. To be honest, I did look at it for a long time because the module looks to be very functional and well developed, but I could not make up my mind to buy it. The various functions a very useful, but nothing I need in particular so that I would be willing to pay so much for it (the module is one part but you also need the database, so the total amount increases). If you then buy the database only once, the idea of the various functions and accuracy is gone, and if you pay for regularly updates it costs quite a lot. (From the module description and documentation it's not visible that the new free database is also supported) If it is worth paying so much for all together has everybody to decide for himself, but for me it wasn't. Sure the accuracy of the pro database is great, but I have no problem if occasionally someone from Canada gets USD instead of CAD, or a European sees JPY instead of EUR, so the free one is more than enough for me. In a nutshell, if you need a lot of functionality and high accuracy you should go with the one from PrestaHeroes and than also pay for regularly updates of the pro database. If you just want to upgrade the basic function of native geolocation to work with the new free database and extend the functionality to deal with non resolved IPs I think the one from PrestaBlog is more than enough.

I have found 2 different instructions on where the mmdb file should be extracted. /app/Resources/geoip/GeoLite2-City.mmdb And /tools/geoip/GeoLite2-City.mmdb Can someone tell which on eis correct or whether it doesn't matter?

PrestaHeroes USA Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 for anyone using built in PrestaShop geolocation, be WARNED: when IP does not resolve PS disallows customer shopping. this module on addons allows you to set a default country when IP does not resolve, also supports Free (not recommended), precision city and country maxmind db look up. https://addons.prestashop.com/en/international-localization/27368-geo-targeting-pro-by-country-prices-taxes-currency-.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestaHeroes USA Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Stop recommending free maxmind, you will lose plenty of sales ulwith this dataset. ps disallows unresolved ips, using free data you will lose a lot of sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the best practice for determining the country by IP then? I've seen 1 module using 1p2location.com. I've also seen Cloudways/Cloudfare offering GeoLocation support (apparently sent int he HTTP headers). Does Prestashop (or any modules) support that and how reliable is it? I am trying to achieve something like this to serve user the correct multishop and language/currency. The shop would be serving customers in Europe (multishop 1) and USA (multishop 2) and I'd like to automatically do following: If user from USA: Set Multishop 2, Currency USD, Lang EN-US If user from UK: Set Multishop 1, Currency GBP, Lang EN-GB If user from France: Set Multishop 1, Currency EUR, Lang FR-FR If user from Germany: Set Multishop 1, Currency EUR, Lang DE-DE Question for @El Patron, does this module enable the above: https://addons.prestashop.com/en/international-localization/27368-geo-targeting-pro-by-country-prices-taxes-currency-.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this would mean subscribing to the GeoIP2 City Database? Or Country if that is enough, it seems to be $76 cheaper per month than the CIty. Further question regards the module, can it handle redirection of user to the correct multishop as decsribed? I need the US users to be directed to the correct multishop if they happen to land on the Euro shop (and vice versa). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
