PrestaShop 1.7 – Localization tab settings


If you are wondering how to add a new currency or language to your store, or if you can configure the settings so that the store is only displayed in selected countries, today's topic is just for you! The Locations tab in the International menu is responsible for all settings related to foreign sales, user's position or units of measure supported in a given country.

Localization

The Localization tab is responsible for general settings related to the country of sale. 

The Import a localization pack section is nothing more than a set of basic settings related to the country of sale. Here you can download prepared settings for the administrative division of the country, tax rules, currency, language and units of measurement.

Additionally, you can set here the automatic change of the store language to the language of your browser and change the default country accordingly. The Configuration tab is also a time zone setting.

Important: ISO Code and Language Code are 2-letter and 4-letter ISO 639-1 and ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 universal codes respectively. You should also take care of the correct date format. Different countries use different formats, so you should always make sure that the date presentation is consistent with the country and language.  

Currencies

If you sell your goods in more than one country, it is important to take care of the currency buyer's home country. By default, the currency for the selected language is uploaded during installation.

On the new page, select the currency you want to add to the store from the list and complete the rate. The rate is always calculated from the default currency to the new one. You can also define if you want the rate to be displayed on the store's page. 

 

Geolocation

The last tab - Geolocation - allows you to enable and disable automatic user location based on your IP. If you don't want customers from a particular country to view your store, you can enable such exclusion here.

To exclude selected countries, enable Geolocation by IP address. In the Options section there are two basic settings: a user from a given country cannot see your store at all or has access to the content of the website but cannot place an order. In the table you specify the countries that will have access to your store.
