Enable dynamic pricing throught the site.

[MrHinsh]

There isn't a single out-of-the-box JavaScript framework that directly handles geolocation-based pricing with currency conversion and discounting, but you can combine several libraries and APIs to achieve this. Here's a recommended approach using a combination of IP geolocation, currency conversion, and pricing manipulation:

1. Geo-location Service (for detecting user location)

You can use a service like ipinfo.io or ipdata.co to detect the user's location based on their IP address. These services provide country information, which you can then use to determine the applicable pricing group.

2. Currency Conversion Service

For currency conversion, use an API like Open Exchange Rates or CurrencyLayer to get real-time exchange rates between GBP, USD, and EUR.

3. Pricing and Discount Handling

For price manipulation, you can use Dinero.js or currency.js to handle the math of applying discounts and formatting prices according to currency.

Combining the Components:

Here's an example of how you can set this up:

1. Get User Location with ipinfo.io

First, get the user's country using IP geolocation:

fetch('https://ipinfo.io?token=YOUR_TOKEN')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
const userCountry = data.country; // e.g., "IN" for India
handlePricingForLocation(userCountry);
});

2. Determine the Pricing Group

Based on the user's country, map them to a pricing group, apply the relevant currency and discount.

const pricingGroups = {
africaIndia: {
countries: ['IN', 'ZA', 'NG', 'KE'], // India, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya
currency: 'USD',
discount: 50
},
westEurope: {
countries: ['FR', 'DE', 'IT', 'ES'], // France, Germany, Italy, Spain
currency: 'EUR',
discount: 0
},
eastEurope: {
countries: ['PL', 'HU', 'CZ'], // Poland, Hungary, Czechia
currency: 'EUR',
discount: 20
}
};

function handlePricingForLocation(countryCode) {
// Find the group the country belongs to
let pricingGroup = Object.values(pricingGroups).find(group => group.countries.includes(countryCode));

if (!pricingGroup) {
// Default to GBP if no group matches
pricingGroup = { currency: 'GBP', discount: 0 };
}

// Now that we have the pricing group, proceed to calculate price
applyDiscountAndCurrency(pricingGroup);
}

3. Fetch Currency Conversion Rates

Use a currency conversion service like Open Exchange Rates to get the latest conversion rates:

// Fetch exchange rates from GBP to USD and EUR
fetch('https://openexchangerates.org/api/latest.json?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
const rates = data.rates;
// rates.GBP, rates.USD, rates.EUR will contain conversion rates
applyDiscountAndCurrency(pricingGroup, rates);
});

4. Calculate the Final Price with Discount and Conversion

Use Dinero.js to calculate the final price after applying the discount and currency conversion:

function applyDiscountAndCurrency(pricingGroup, rates) {
const basePriceGBP = Dinero({ amount: 10000, currency: 'GBP' }); // e.g., £100.00

// Apply discount
const discountedPrice = basePriceGBP.percentage(100 - pricingGroup.discount);

// Convert to target currency
let finalPrice;
if (pricingGroup.currency === 'USD') {
finalPrice = discountedPrice.multiply(rates.USD); // Convert GBP to USD
} else if (pricingGroup.currency === 'EUR') {
finalPrice = discountedPrice.multiply(rates.EUR); // Convert GBP to EUR
} else {
finalPrice = discountedPrice; // Keep GBP
}

// Display the final price
console.log(finalPrice.toFormat()); // e.g., $50.00 or €80.00
}

5. Bringing It All Together

In this setup:

1. The user's country is detected with an IP geolocation service.

2. The country is mapped to a predefined pricing group, which has a currency and discount associated with it.

3. Currency conversion rates are fetched dynamically, and the price is adjusted based on the group settings.

Conclusion:

By combining ipinfo.io (for geolocation), Open Exchange Rates (for currency conversion), and Dinero.js or currency.js (for pricing math), you can dynamically convert prices based on the user's location, apply discounts, and adjust for different currencies globally.
