Here, admin can view information like Geolocation Name, Longitude, Latitude and edit the geolocation as well.

Adding New GeoLocation

To add a new geolocation, admin taps on the Add GeoLocation button. Once they tap on it, they are redirected to the below page,

Here, admin enters the following,

• Geolocation – Enter the Geolocation.
• Geolocation name – Set a name for the Geolocation

Next, admin selects the products they wish to map to a geolocation and then tap on the Actions dropdown button. Here, they’ll get the option to Add Geolocation.

Once the admin taps the Add Geolocation button, the system displays a popup that allows the admin to add the product to multiple geolocations, as shown in the image below.

Remove Product Mapping from GeoLocation

To remove mapped products from a GeoLocation, admin simply has to deselect them and then tap on Save GeoLocation. It is described in image below where the admin has deselected the products,

Now, when the admin taps the Save Geolocation button, the system unmaps the products from this particular geolocation.

So, That’s it for the Admin End Configuration. Let’s check below the customer end now.

When a customer visits the website, the system prompts them to enter their location through a popup.

In this field, the customers enter their address/location and tap on Ok button. Now, they can start browsing for their products.

Note – On location address change, cart will be emptied and customers will be redirected to homepage.

Now, if the admin does not map a product to the customer’s entered geolocation, the system marks it as unavailable or hides it completely, depending on the admin’s configuration.

Similarly, The unavailability information set by the admin will also be visible on the product page.

So that is much about the Magento 2 Product Filter by Geolocation extension.
