The problem

Showing prices in the wrong currency, omitting VAT, or ignoring the shopper's timezone quietly erodes conversion. All of it can be inferred from the one thing every visitor already gives you: their IP.

What you get

A localized checkout — right currency, correct tax, and local time — computed server-side so the displayed total always matches what you charge.

The workflow

How the calls chain together

Every response below is a live sample from the actual API — nothing mocked.

IP LookupGET /v1/iplookup5 cr

Geolocate the visitor

Resolve the IP to a country, city, and timezone — the anchor for everything localized.

countryNameUnited StatescityKansas CitytimezoneAmerica/Chicago

Sample response

{
  "ip": "173.172.81.20",
  "country": "US",
  "countryName": "United States",
  "region": "MO",
  "regionName": "Missouri",
  "city": "Kansas City",
  "timezone": "America/Chicago",
  "coordinates": [
    39.0831,
    -94.5853
  ]
}

↓ passes the country + timezone to the next step

Timezone LookupGET /v1/timezonelookup1 cr

Get local time

Turn the timezone into the shopper's actual local time for delivery estimates and urgency.

}

↓ passes local time to the next step

Recipe questions.

What to know before you wire it up.

Talk to the team →

Should I localize price on the client or server?

Server-side. Compute currency and VAT on your backend so the displayed total always matches the amount you charge — never trust a client-only conversion for money.

Does this handle non-EU tax?

The VAT rates API focuses on VAT (EU and several non-EU countries). For US sales tax, swap in the sales-tax API — the rest of the recipe is unchanged.

How current are the exchange rates?

Currency conversion uses live rates and returns the rate and 24h movement alongside the converted value, so you can decide how often to refresh.

Cook this in an afternoon. Every API in this recipe shares one key, one response shape, and one bill.
