Strict - Informative
In this mode, the system recognizes the country bound to the user’s IP and assigns it to the user’s session. The user will not be able to modify his country in any case when registering or indicating a billing or shipping address. If the country from which the user is browsing is not in the sales areas selector, the country selector will be left blank and ending the sale will not be possible. However, browsing in the eCommerce will be possible.
Using this mode, the user can be redirected or a text can be displayed if needed. Both actions are incompatible simultaneously, and redirection will have priority over the informative text. So, to display the text, the redirection URL must be left blank.
- Redirection : If a redirection URL has been set, the system will redirect the user to it, as long as the user is in a country outside the sales areas. If "redirect only first time" is checked with a NO, the system will always redirect the user with no exceptions. Otherwise, the system would only make that redirection in the user’s first attempt to access the eCommerce. In case the user insists, the user would be able to browse the website in conditions detailed above.
- Geo IP warning: If a warning text has been set, and a redirection URL has not been filled in, in the user’s first attempt to access the eCommerce from a country outside the sales areas, an informative text would be displayed. In case the user insists, the user would be able to browse the website in conditions detailed above.
