Need Help Please – Pricing local vs International (6 posts)

Topic tags: pricing
  • Over the last year in my business our clientele has shifted so that procure nearly 50% internationally and 50% locally (South Africa). The dilemma we face is showing the correct pricing when a visitor lands on our website. Locally we charge rand’s but for everyone else its in dollars. I have seen some websites have different websites for different countries like a .com then a .com/uk website. 

    I would like the correct pricing to show up when a visitor hits our website. What have you done or what do you suggest?

  • Hello Geoffrey,

    You can think of multilingual website in which based on the demographic locations, the visitor, It shows customized view or currency as what you discussed.

    Let me know if you need any help in development of such features.

    Cheers,
    Allen

    Does the actual price change? If not, I’d list them side by side and be done with it.

    If you’re charging different amounts for local vs. international you could do some sort of sniffer that would serve up slightly different information based on whether their IP was local or not.

    Good luck!

  • @rich-brooks thanks, I think side by side will suffice. :)

  • Hi Geoffrey @geoffrey-gordon

    Take that one step further and add other countries (where you may have customers already) to that chart.  

    Being international means you should cater to those who you want to come to you.

  • @supereb thanks E, I think yours and other inputs have given me my answer :)
