✔️ What is a recommendation banner?

The Selecty app automatically detects a visitor's language, currency, and country. On their first visit, it recommends switching your store to the local language and currency for a seamless shopping experience.

Recommendation banner appears on the first visit and suggests visitors use a local language and currency.

In this way, customers select their preferred language and currency, making it easier for them to navigate your store and products.

✔️ Language detection

The Selecty app detects languages by the preferred language in the browser.

Note that you can use one language for the browser and another language as preferred. For example, you are from Germany and use German as a browser language. At the same time, you have English as a preferred one.

You can check your preferred language in your browser.

For example, in Chrome, you should go to Setting -> Languages



In the Opera browser click on Go to full browser settings in the upper right corner -> scroll until you find a section with Preferred languages.



In the Firefox browser also click on Settings and scroll until you find the necessary section Language.

✔️ Country and currency detection

As it was mentioned above, the recommendation banner suggests customers to select their local currency.

Currency is detected by IP address.

Your ISP assigns you an IP address by which the Selecty application determines your country of residence. Based on country data, the application determines the currency that will be preferred by visitors from that country.

So, firstly we detect country and then we detect currency. This information appears on the recommendation banner on the first visit.
