IP2Location IP Country Redirect helps merchants to easily redirect their visitors to the targeted destination URL based on their IP address, country or state. It is also a 404 redirect plugin that helps you to redirect 404 error page to your homepage or your targeted URL.
On the other hand, store owners are able to reach the right audience - segment visitors by geographical location. They can target and serve content that is more relevant by location. For example, visitors from US can be redirected to us.yoursite.com, visitors from Japan will be redirected to jp.yoursite.com.
The App automatically detects the IPv4 or IPv6 address, geolocates it using the up-to-date and highly accurate geolocation data from IP2Location.com, for redirection.
No database installation or update required. All geolocation queries and redirection are being performed through Javascript from IP2Location servers.
You can create multiple redirection rules based on your needs. For example, you can create one rule to redirect visitors coming from the United States, and another one for visitors from Japan.
You can create rules to redirect the visitors by using their IP addresses, countries or states.
You can decide if to instantly redirect your visitors to the destination URLs, or to display a confirmation pop-up dialog giving them the choice if to stay on the current page or make way to the recommended destinations.
You can customize the design of the pop-up page to fit your theme. You can configure almost all aspects of the design.
In some cases, the URL parameters are important to ensure the functionality of a page doesn't break such as the UTM parameters of the Google Analytics. The App provides you an option to decide if to forward or discard the URL parameters during the redirection.
Inverted redirection rule helps you to simplify the rule creation process. For instance, if you do not have the business present in just a few countries you can create a list of these countries and invert the rule. As simple as this.
You can decide if to bypass the bots or crawlers traffic from redirection.
