ThriveCart Geodetect

ThriveCart Geodetect. In this video I’m going to cover how to display different thrive cart checkout based on a visitor’s locations, specifically their country location. Now for this to work, we’re actually going to need a WordPress site. And there’s a very specific plugin, there’s multiple plugins you could use, we’re going to use the geo IP detect plugin. And then at the very bottom is showing basically the the short code that you’re going to need to embed on your page that you want to display the checkout. So let’s dive right in.

Inside your thrive cart account, you basically need to have two products as it is right now, one for price in a certain country, and one for price in a different country. In this case, we’re going to have a Canadian product. And then we’re going to have everybody else who will then pay in US dollars. So all I’m going to do to start with is duplicate the current product. And I’ll show you what I’m going to change.

And that’s it. So I’m going to want to copy this code. But before I do that, let’s go to WordPress and setup our plugin. So this is the WordPress plugin we’re going to use, it’s free. And for the purposes of what we’re trying to accomplish, it does exactly what we want, so install that on your WordPress site. Now, one thing I would suggest is in the options for this plugin is you want to use the automatic don’t download an update. And then you want to disable caching a page that has the short code because you don’t want to display an old page, for instance from the US visitor versus a Canadian visitor. So you won’t have those options enabled. And then on the page, you want to display the thrive cart checkout, you’re going to use this code right here, or some variation of it. In this case, it’s specific to Canada. So anything that fits in here will be for people that are from Canada. Anything that displays here will be for anybody that’s not in Canada, notice the not underscore.

So for the US praise pricing, I’m going to put that code right in here. So I’ll go back to thrive cart copy this code. I’m going to go in here, paste this code in. And one thing to note, I’m using the text editor, I’m not using anything beyond the Basic Editor in WordPress, this can be a little bit challenging with the page builder type themes that are available. It’s doable, but it’s a little more work. So this is the US pricing. Now I’m going to go back and I’m going to get the Canadian pricing. So I’m going to go ahead and copy the Canadian pricing and paste it right in here. So now I want to actually make sure it works.

So once for Canadian ones. For Non Canadian, I’m going to change it to US because that’s where I’m based. I want to be able to make sure this works properly. So actually, I’m going to display the Canadian pricing here and the US pricing here. So watch what happens here. So the first time I’m going to go ahead and update it. Now I’m going to see and actually let’s change this I’m going to put the US pricing where it should be for me. So I should see US based pricing because I’m in the US. So there it is. Now I’m gonna go to a proxy server and this is going to be in the Netherlands. So I’m going to go ahead and paste this in. So it’s not US, right. So it should show the Canadian pricing, and there it is. That’s how you can use geo detection with thrive.
