Wrong currency/price for some countries only

    Hello
    I am trying this cool plugin. So far, it seems to work for most big countries, but for some reasons, there are countries that fall on the wrong currency/price. I have tested with both Hola and ZenMate to be sure it wasn’t a VPN issue.

    For example, Ukraine, Romania, Latvian, Malta (and maybe others) show $ instead of €. All have the same hash in URL than UK (which is the only country I have set to use ￡).
    But Estonia shows $ instead of €. (not so bad if you want my opinion but still wrong)

    I have also disabled all cache and CloudFlare to confirm the issue.
    When using plugin test mode instead of VPN, currencies are correct.
    I guess this is geolocation issue with WooCommerce or GeoLite…
    Any advice on this topic?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    WooCommerce Geolocation support CloudFlare.
    May be a accuracy issue so WooCommerce uses MaxMind free Database.

    Try to use other VPN software like VPN TunnelBear and check it works with web tools like https://www.iplocation.net/

    You make sure that do test for each country in a new private browsing.

    Cheers

    Hi Oscar
    Thank you for your help. It seems like this is an accuracy issue with GeoLite db.
    Using some code to display user IP on the front end together with iplocation.net, I was able to find out that an address set to Romania was correctly geolocated to Romania by 2 databases but to Turkey by 3 others (including MaxMind GeoLite.

    So far, it seems all is good with your plugin.
    Keep up the good work!
