Supported OpenCart Versions:
================
All v1.4.x and v1.5.x versions

What does it do:
================
This contrib adds a country check to automatically choose a currency based on the customer's ip address.
It uses an extensive list of country-to-currency code matching to show any supported currencies to the customer

Main features:
==============
* Uses IP lookup to get the customer's country
* Checks that the currency exists in opencart and sets it
* Country/Currency mapping can be easily changed at anytime
* Has 2 different lookup systems in place. If the first fails, it tries the second.
* Sets cookie to avoid lookup on each page reload. Cookie lasts until browser close
* Shows the country code quietly in the footer (shows * if using cookie version)
* Still Allows customer to change their currency to something else.

Notes:
==============
* You must have the currency installed for it to switch.
- Example, if you do not have GBP installed, but come from UK, then it will not automatically switch
* IP Lookup sometimes fails on 3rd world countries.
- If country cannot be found by lookup it returns 'XX'. In this case it will just load the default currency.
