How Do I Add Geolocation to WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 20, 2023 @ 5:41 am

Adding geolocation to WooCommerce can be done in two ways. The first way is to use a plugin, and the second way is to manually add the code to your site. We will show you how to do both methods.

Adding Geolocation with a Plugin

There are many plugins available that will add geolocation to WooCommerce, but we recommend using the Geolocation for WooCommerce plugin.

This plugin is free and available from the WordPress plugin repository. Once you have installed and activated the plugin, there are no settings to configure. The plugin will automatically start working and adding geolocation data to your WooCommerce store.

Adding Geolocation Manually

If you do not want to use a plugin, you can add geolocation data to WooCommerce manually by adding some code to your site. You will need to edit the function.php file of your child theme and add the following code:

<?php 
function wc_geolocation_init() { 
$geo = new WC_Geolocation(); 
$geo->add_location_data(); 
} 
add_action( 'init', 'wc_geolocation_init' ); 
?>

This code tells WordPress to run the WC_Geolocation class when initializing your site. This class will then add geolocation data to WooCommerce.

PRO TIP: Adding geolocation to WooCommerce can be tricky. Make sure you follow all the instructions carefully, or you could end up with a broken website.

Conclusion:

Adding geolocation to WooCommerce can be done in two ways.

The first way is to use a plugin, and the second way is to manually add the code to your site. We recommend using a plugin because it is easier and does not require any coding knowledge.
