Geolocation Redirect from Shopify to non-Shopify Website

[jmarano]

We are looking to redirect users from our Shopify website to a third-party non-Shopify website based on their location, using the appropriate domain for that location. 

As an example: 

• If a user from Australia is trying to access (Shopify) https://xxxxx.com it should redirect to www.yyyyy.com.au (third party non Shopify website)

• If a user from New Zealand is trying to access (Shopify) https://xxxxx.com it should redirect to www.yyyyy.com.nz (third party non Shopify website)

We saw third party apps that could somehow do this, but will these work from Shopify to non Shopify website?

Hi,

Geolocation API with JavaScript to Shopify theme (theme.liquid) may help

Example of javascript code

<script>
    // Replace with your chosen geolocation API endpoint and API key
    const geoApiUrl = 'https://api.ipgeolocation.io/ipgeo?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY';

    fetch(geoApiUrl)
        .then(response => response.json())
        .then(data => {
            const userCountry = data.country_code2; // Get the country code from the response
            if (userCountry === 'AU') {
                window.location.href = 'https://www.yyyyy.com.au';
            } else if (userCountry === 'NZ') {
                window.location.href = 'https://www.yyyyy.com.nz';
            }
            // Add more conditions for other countries as needed
        })
        .catch(error => {
            console.error('Error fetching the geolocation data:', error);
        });
</script>
