There are a couple of requirements to make the geolocation work correctly in Distancr so let’s cover the most common ones:
Table of Contents
API Connection
Depending on your chosen API provider make sure you added the API key in WooCommerce->Settings->Distancr->Options and click the “Check connection” button. If everything is correct you should see a success message saying “Successfully connected”.
Wrong API plan
If you are using IPStack or IPAPI as your provider make sure you get one of the paid plans if your website runs over HTTPS – the free plan does not support SSL-secured websites.
Running on localhost
If you like to test Distancr on a local development environment most API providers can’t get your current location correctly as the server usually responds with 127.0.1.1 as their IP. To make that work use a service like whatsmyip.com to get your current IP and add it in WooCommerce->Settings->Distancr->Testing -> Local IP
Use the test mode
As an administrator, the best way to test Distancr is the implemented test mode. Activate it in WooCommerce->Settings->Distancr->Testing-> Test Mode:
Once activated you get a little globe icon on the frontend of your store to quickly test and change your current location. Change your location and make sure that the prices adjust accordingly.
