Why are there several versions of the module?
This is due to the fact that different PrestaShop releases use different programming solutions. Features working e.g. in PrestaShop 1.7 may not work in PrestaShop 9. Hence the need to release different versions of the module, which will ensure operation in many different versions of the shop.

Free Geolocation Currency + Language for PrestaShop.
Out of the box, every visitor sees the same currency and language. If you sell mainly to one country—or want to give visitors from that region a dedicated, localised experience—you need automatic detection and switching. This free module uses PrestaShop’s built-in GeoIP to detect the visitor’s country and, when they match your chosen country, sets the store currency and/or language in one go. No manual switching, no guesswork. One form in the back office, zero cost.
Why showing the same currency and language to everyone is not enough
When you target a specific country—for example, you run a local store that also ships to a neighbouring country, or you have a dedicated offer for one market—visitors from that region expect to see prices in their currency and content in their language. Forcing them to hunt for the language or currency selector adds friction and can cost you sales.
PrestaShop already ships with geolocation (GeoIP): it can detect the visitor’s country from their IP address. What’s missing is a simple way to say: “When the visitor is from country X, use currency Y and language Z automatically.” No redirects, no third-party APIs—just one configured country and the currency and language you want for that audience.
Free Geolocation Currency + Language does exactly that. You pick the country, optionally enable currency switching and choose the currency, optionally enable language switching and choose the language. Visitors from that country get the right experience from the first page load. Everyone else sees the default shop behaviour. One module, one form, fully free.
What you get with this module
-
Automatic currency for one country:
Visitors from the selected country see prices in the currency you choose. No manual switch; the module sets the context on each request. -
Automatic language for one country:
Same idea for language: visitors from the selected country get the storefront in the language you configure. One language for that region, applied automatically. -
PrestaShop GeoIP only:
Uses the same GeoIP database and mechanism as PrestaShop (GeoLite2 City in/app/Resources/geoip/). No external services, no API keys.
What the module does
Currency by country
Turn on currency change by visitor’s origin and select the currency. When the visitor’s country (from GeoIP) matches the configured country, the shop context is set to that currency. Prices and cart use it automatically; for that country you can effectively offer a single-currency experience.
Language by country
Turn on language change by visitor’s origin and select the language. For visitors from the selected country, the storefront language is set to that language. Descriptions, navigation, and emails (where applicable) follow the same locale. You decide the single language for that market.
Simple back-office form
One configuration screen: select country from the dropdown (all PrestaShop countries), then enable or disable language switching and pick the language, enable or disable currency switching and pick the currency. Save. The module runs on actionFrontControllerAfterInit and applies the context before the page is rendered.
Geolocation = GeoIP
The module uses PrestaShop’s built-in GeoIP (GeoLite2 City). Make sure the database file is in place so country detection works.
How country detection works
Visitor country is resolved from their IP using the same GeoIP database that PrestaShop uses: the GeoLite2 City file in /app/Resources/geoip/. If that file is missing, the module shows an alert in the back office with a link to download it and instructions to extract it into the correct directory. On localhost, geolocation typically won’t resolve to a real country, so the module displays a warning—behaviour is reliable when the site is online with a public IP.
When the detected country matches the configured Select country, the module sets the cookie and context for currency and/or language (depending on your toggles). For that visitor, the shop then uses only the chosen currency and language until they change it or come from another country. No redirects; the switch happens at the start of the request.
Currency & language toggles
Enable currency and/or language independently. One country, your chosen currency and language for that country.
Independent control
You can enable language change by visitor’s origin and leave currency change off (or the opposite). So you might show a single language for a given country but keep the default currency, or force one currency and keep the default language. The form makes it clear: “This will be the only one available language for visitors from selected country” and the same idea for currency. So you tailor the experience exactly to what you need for that one target country.
Alerts & updates
Back office alerts for localhost and missing GeoIP. MyPresta update checker built in so you stay on the latest version.
Helpful back-office messages
When you open the module configuration, it may show: (1) a warning if you’re on localhost—geolocation will only identify the country when the site is online; (2) a danger alert if the GeoIP database file is missing, with a direct link to download the file and instructions to extract it into /app/Resources/geoip/. Once the file is in place and the site is live, the module runs without extra setup. The page also includes the MyPresta update checker so you can see if a new version is available and open the changelog.
Simple configuration in the back office
One screen: choose the target country, then enable and select the language and/or currency for visitors from that country. No tabs, no clutter.
Form fields
- Select country (dropdown: all PrestaShop countries)
- Turn on language change by visitor’s origin (Enabled/Disabled)
- Select language (single language for that country)
- Turn on currency change by visitor’s origin (Enabled/Disabled)
- Select currency (single currency for that country)
Behaviour
- Visitor country from PrestaShop GeoIP (GeoLite2 City)
- Match = set currency and/or language context on each request
- No match = default shop currency and language
- MyPresta update checker and alerts (localhost, GeoIP file) on config page
Technical specification & compatibility
Uses PrestaShop’s GeoIP and runs early in the request. Optional overrides for Currency and Language classes so that the chosen currency/language are enforced for the target country. Safe for multistore and updates when used as intended.
actionAdminControllerSetMedia, actionFrontControllerAfterInit, actionDispatcherBefore._PS_GEOIP_DIR_. No external APIs.Currency and Language classes to restrict available currency/language for the target country when module is active.
