# Automatic Detection of User Location – Currency (Market Profile)

1. **Feature Overview**

With Market Profiles, businesses can easily define reusable currency mappings for each region—ensuring customers see prices in their local currency from the start. Shoppers still have the flexibility to choose an alternate currency at checkout, giving them full control over their experience. This combination of automation and choice makes global selling seamless while building trust at the point of purchase.

2. **Business Value**

Market Profiles empower businesses to sell globally with confidence by combining automated currency detection with the flexibility customers expect. By eliminating friction at checkout, this feature helps reduce cart abandonment, build trust, and drive higher conversion rates. At the same time, it gives admin teams powerful tools to design region-specific experiences—whether that’s localized pricing, promotions, tax handling, or tailored content—without adding operational complexity.

3. **User Impact**

* For Shoppers
  * See prices in their local currency immediately, creating a familiar and trustworthy buying experience.
  * Retain the freedom to manually choose another currency if they prefer.
* For Businesses
  * Configure Market Profiles once and reuse them across multiple regions.
  * Align currency with localized strategies such as promotions, tax rules, or tailored content.
* For International Sites
  * Benefit from smoother checkouts, lower abandonment rates, and stronger conversion rates globally.

4. **Key Functionalities**

* Reusable Market Profiles
  * Admins create profiles mapping currencies to specific regions.
  * Profiles can be reused across multiple sites or regions.
* Automatic Detection
  * The system detects a visitor’s location and automatically applies the relevant currency.
* Manual Override
  * Shoppers can override the auto-detected currency at checkout.
* Fallback Behavior
  * If no mapping is found, a default profile is applied automatically.

5. **Why It Matters**

In global commerce, trust and clarity are essential. Market Profiles deliver both: automation ensures customers see localized pricing instantly, while manual override guarantees flexibility. This balance of structure and choice reduces checkout friction, builds credibility, and strengthens international sales performance.

* For Prospects: Highlights that our platform provides structure and scalability (“reusable currency mappings”), positioning it as a growth enabler rather than a patch.
* For Customers: Emphasizes the customer-friendly side (“flexibility to choose an alternate currency”), which builds trust.
* For Sales: Frames it as a unique blend of automation + flexibility—not just a commodity feature.
