Improve shopping experience of your foreign customers
Display confirmation pop-up before redirecting
Set introducing confirmation and notification pop-up before redirecting. Comply with the requirements of EU regulations regarding geo-blocking and country redirects.
Redirect users to a specific store view
Automatically determine visitors’ location and redirect them to the correct store view. With the help of the extension you can improve customers' shopping experience by showing localized information in familiar language and currency.
Change currency based on visitors’ location
The Magento 2 GeoIP extension detects the location of your store visitors and changes price currency to the one which is actually used in the potential customer’s country. Also, your customers don’t have to choose the language prior to starting purchasing - it will be done automatically.
Restrict access to your website to specific IP addresses
With Magento 2 GeoIP Redirect Extension, you can block certain visitors by their IP addresses and choose the CMS page that will be displayed to the restricted customers.
Ignore search engines and user agents
Avoid unwanted redirects for user agents and search engine spiders. You can specify which of them to ignore. For your convenience, the most popular search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. are ignored by default.
Redirect only from the home page
Sometimes a user may need to see particular pages of your store just as they are. In that case, you can enable the ‘Redirect From Home Page Only’ option. Thus, as soon as viewers enter the website homepage, they would be automatically redirected to the appropriate store view.
FLEXIBLY ADJUST REDIRECTION OPTIONS
Set Magento 2 GeoIP redirects to specific URLs
Use this option to redirect your customers to a specific store page, blog or youtube channel based on their location. For example, if you don’t provide delivery of some items to specific countries or regions, you can redirect users from these regions to the page with the information where they can buy this product offline or find out more about your company.
Restrict redirection for particular URLs
In case you want to keep the URLs like home or FAQ page the same for all store views, you can exclude them from redirection. At the same time, you can apply redirect option only to certain store pages, e.g. Delivery info or Contacts.
Redirect users for each visit or only for the first one
Choose whether to adjust your Magento 2 webstore to users’ geolocation and redirect them automatically or to allow them to choose which store version is more convenient. In this case, they will be automatically redirected only during their first visit and then will be able to choose which store view to use. This feature works for both guests and registered customers.
Restrict redirects by IP address
Sometimes you may need to allow certain people to see your web site as it is despite their location. For example, when some of your staff work remotely from different countries. In this case, use Magento 2 GeoIP store switcher to specify their IPs in the module’s settings.
How to make Varnish Cache compatible with redirects?
Due to the App Server utilization, GeoIP Redirect and Varnish Cache are compatible only with particular limitations. To bring partial compatibility, you may use the following solution:
1. Find the Varnish Cache configuration file on your server (usually -/etc/varnish/default.vcl).
2. Add the following code to this file:
if (req.http.cookie !~ "PHPSESSID=") {
return (pass);
}
3. Make sure that the First visit redirect only option is set to Yes. Otherwise, you will be unable to use redirects.
Also keep in mind that your store will be displayed without cache during the first visit.

Could it be possible to implement the browser language as a choice for switching?
Currently we have several storeviews for a country which has more than 1 official language. The geo-ip sometimes does crazy things like redirecting to be_nl/fr_nl/something when two storeviews are linked to the same country.
Maybe using the browser language we could prevent this from happening?
