Kindly add a feature that enables V5 automatically select currency based on visitor’s IP address country as V3 did, This currency selection method is a lot better. Thanks

Thank you for the request. As noted in the comments, the WAtlas description mentions IP geolocation, but in V5 the visitor's currency was being picked from the browser language only. V5 now picks a first-time visitor's currency from the country they connect from again, as V3 did. The country comes from Cloudflare when the site is behind Cloudflare, otherwise from the IP location module (WAtlas by default). If neither gives a country, the browser language decides. The countries you assign to a currency under Settings → Financial → Currencies ("Currency related to country") now follow the visitor's location. Visitors who already have a currency cookie, signed-in clients and anyone who picks a currency in the switcher keep their choice, so open the site in a private window to see the change. The change ships in 5.0-beta.5. If you are on 5.0-beta.4, the fix package at https://wisecp.com/wfix/5.0-beta.4 already includes it. Details are in the user guide: https://docs.wisecp.com/en/currencies

This actually exists, it’s not just working fine. If you have multi currency setup, sets the country for each currency and then use WAtlas as a currency automation option, the description says “ WAtlas is a reference-data service for exchange rates, IP geolocation and proxy/VPN detection.“ but it’s geolocation is not working as expected
