    Hi Oscar,

    I’d like to ask you, if it’s possible to turn off refreshing the price and currency on the checkout page? In our e-shop we set product prices for different countries based on their economical situation and the living standard. For example you usually set much higher price for Switzerland and lower prices for eastern European countries. So we would like to avoid situations when e.g. a swiss customer missets his billing address and founds out our pricing strategy either accidentally or on purpose.

    Best,
    Attila

    Hi Attila, WooCommerce includes a geolocation feature which guess customer’s country by his ip. My extension takes advantage of this feature to display the corresponding price, but a customer can skip the geolocation used a privacy vpn tool like hola so in checkout page, the prices are refreshed when the customer changes the billing country.

    Could you solve your problem that prices will refresh depending on the shipping country instead of billing country?

    Hi Oscar,
    we can’t solve it like this. The main problem is that when a customer changes his shipping/billing address, he acknowledges that the price has changed. Is there a possibility to have an option in the backend, that would enable/disable refreshing the price on the checkout page?

    I have managed to solve the problem by uncommenting the line 108 in class-wcpbc-frontend.php
    Although, this solution has a drawback for the future updates, I will always have to uncomment it, when updates arrive. If there would be more people who would ask for a same backend option, as me, I think it wouldn’t be a problem to write there an if statement that checks for this setting ??

    Nice and clean code, btw ??

    I have just installed the version 1.3.4, there it is the line 110. Also tested the funcionality after commenting the line. It was working only seemingly. It still changes the price in the cart, so I commented out the whole body of load_checkout_script() function, it does not change the price in the totals, nor in the cart but after going back to the shop, it does change the currency. Any clue?

    Hi attila, prices depend on WC()->customer->country It is the base of the plugin.

    When country change in checkout page WC->customer->country is update (class-wc-checkout.php), so when you going back to shop the prices vary according to WC()->customer->country.

    You can modify the code to not refresh checkout page but you can not do that the prices do not depend on the country…

    Hi Oscar,

    I understand you. I thought, that you use somewhere the wcpbc-functions, where you get the country by IP but after further examination I noticed, that it’s not used in any of the scripts. If I understand well, it is the WooCommerce itself, which changes the country class member to the chosen value from the selectbox, right?

    The thing, I would like to achieve is to stick to the prices based on the user’s IP. So he would be charged by the current country’s prices and not by the one of the shipping country.

    Cheers,
    Attila
