Retrieve price based on geolocation
Overview
Use the getPrice method to retrieve product prices based on geolocation.
To display product prices on your website without having the geolocation feature, you can use the getPrice API method, as described below.
Request example
var data = {
PRODS: ' 12345678', // product ID
OPTIONS 12345678: '', // product pricing options if any
QTY: 1, //product quantity
CURRENCY: 'EUR', //product currency
COUPON: null, //discount to be applied
RESPONSE_TYPE: 'SOAP'
};
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'https://' + window.location.host + '/action/get_price.php',
data: data,
success: function (data) {
// your code here
},
error: function (error) {
console.error(error);
},
});
A built URL that displays prices based on the customer's geolocation would look like this:
https://secure.2checkout.com/action/get_price.php?PRODS=12345678&OPTIONS12345678&QTY=1&CURRENCY=EUR&COUPON=null&RESPONSE_TYPE=SOAP
The quantity parameter is used only to retrieve the unit price with volume discounts if this was applied to the product. Setting quantity=2 in the request will not return the price for quantity 2, but it will return the unit price corresponding to the quantity interval specified.
For example if the unit price is:
Quantity =1 to 10 = 100USD
Quantity= 10+ = 90USD
A request with quantity 11 will not return 1100USD, it will return 90USD. While a call with quantity= 5, will return 100USD, not 500USD.
