Product Overview
The Woo GeoLocation Plugin brings intelligent location detection to your WooCommerce store, giving you the power to personalize the entire shopping experience based on where your customers are located. Whether you run a single-storefront business or manage a multi-vendor marketplace, this plugin ensures every visitor sees the right products, at the right prices, with accurate delivery information — all handled automatically.
Unlike basic geolocation scripts that only identify a visitor’s location, this plugin takes action on that data. It maps products, pricing, delivery times, and custom messages to specific geographic zones, making it a complete location-commerce toolkit for WooCommerce.
Key Features
- Automatic Location Detection: Identify each visitor’s location via IP geolocation the moment they arrive on your site.
- Manual Location Override: Customers can search for or select a different location — ideal for gift shoppers or anyone planning a purchase for another address.
- Zone-Based Product Mapping: Create unlimited geographic zones and assign specific products to each. Visitors only see items available in their area.
- Dynamic Pricing by Location: Set different prices per zone to account for varying shipping costs, taxes, or regional pricing strategies.
- Real-Time Delivery Estimates: Calculate and display estimated delivery times based on the customer’s location and your nearest store or warehouse.
- Location-Specific Messaging: Show custom pop-up messages when service isn’t available in a selected zone, or display zone-specific announcements anywhere via shortcode.
- Recent Locations History: Returning visitors can instantly reselect from their previously used locations.
- Multi-Vendor Ready: Fully compatible with Dokan and WCFM Marketplace — vendors manage their own location-based product availability and delivery zones independently.
- Handy Shortcodes: Embed the current location address, delivery time, or zone messages anywhere on your site using built-in shortcodes like [Woo_geolocation], [Woo_geolocation_time], and [Woo_zone_message].

Why Choose This Plugin?
Most geolocation plugins simply detect a visitor’s location and stop there. The Woo GeoLocation Plugin goes further — it maps products, prices, delivery times, and messages to specific zones, with multi-vendor support built in from the ground up. Setup is straightforward: define your zones, assign products, and the plugin handles the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this plugin work with caching plugins?
Yes, but you’ll need to configure caching to exclude the location detection scripts or use AJAX-based detection for accurate results on cached pages.
Can vendors set their own zones in Dokan or WCFM?
Yes. The plugin integrates with both marketplaces so vendors can manage their own product-zone mappings and delivery areas directly from their dashboards.
What happens if a visitor’s location can’t be detected?
A friendly pop-up appears prompting them to select their location manually. You can customize the fallback message to match your brand.
Is the geolocation data GDPR compliant?
IP-based geolocation processes personal data. You should disclose this in your privacy policy and obtain consent where required by law.
Can I import zones in bulk?
The plugin supports creating multiple zones manually. For bulk imports, check the documentation for CSV-compatible workflows or contact support.
