Setting up country detection on your CDN or host

Pick the one that matches your setup. After setting it up, reload the Detection tab and check the status box.

Cloudflare

Works out of the box. Cloudflare’s IP Geolocation is on by default and sends CF-IPCountry. If the status box shows no country, check Cloudflare dashboard → your site → Network → IP Geolocation is on. The plugin reads the real IP from CF-Connecting-IP.

Bunny.net

Works out of the box. Bunny sends the visitor’s country (CDN-RequestCountryCode) and IP (X-Real-IP) to your server automatically.

Amazon CloudFront

CloudFront only sends these headers when you ask for them:

1. In the AWS console, open CloudFront → Policies → Origin request.
2. Edit the policy your distribution uses (or create one) and add the headers CloudFront-Viewer-Country and CloudFront-Viewer-Address.
3. Attach the policy to your distribution’s default behavior and wait for the deployment.

Sucuri and Fastly

The plugin reads the real visitor IP (X-Sucuri-ClientIP, Fastly-Client-IP), but these services do not send a country. Add an IP database: WooCommerce’s MaxMind database or the GeoIP Detection plugin (below).

Hosts with GeoIP

If your host sets a country for each request (for example WP Engine GeoTarget, or an Apache/nginx GeoIP module that sets GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE or MM_COUNTRY_CODE), the plugin uses it automatically. Ask your host if you are not sure.

WooCommerce (MaxMind)

1. Create a free MaxMind account and a license key.
2. In WooCommerce → Settings → Integration → MaxMind Geolocation, paste the key and save. WooCommerce downloads the database.
3. The plugin then looks up visitors’ countries in that database, on your own server.

GeoIP Detection plugin

Install the free GeoIP Detection plugin and choose a data source in its settings (a local MaxMind, DB-IP or IP2Location database). The plugin uses it automatically.
