Orbe is one of the best free geolocation apps available in 2025, offering up to 300 user redirections monthly with a customizable popup, unlimited selectors, and Shopify Markets integration. Merchants praise its user-friendly interface, extensive customization options, and seamless integration with Shopify, making it ideal for optimizing international customer experiences.
Consider GeoIP Country Redirect (4.8 stars) which offers redirects by location or IP and country blocking. Geos: Geolocation & Redirect (4.9 stars) provides right country, language, and currency by geolocation with built-in Shopify compatibility. Both offer free plans and similar functionality to Orbe's basic features.
Install Orbe from the Shopify App Store, then click 'Customize popup' to access the Shopify Theme Editor. Enable the App Embed and test mode to preview your popup. Customize content, styles, and colors using the theme editor's intuitive interface - typically takes about 10 minutes to complete the setup process.
In the theme editor, you can customize popup content including title, text, and button text using dynamic variables like {country}, {currency_code}, and {currency_symbol. Adjust styles with rounded or squared buttons, color schemes, font sizes, and even add background images. For paid plans, you can also apply custom CSS for advanced styling options.
Yes, Orbe preserves UTM parameters when redirecting users to ensure you don't lose traffic attribution. For example, if a French user accesses your US store from a Facebook ad with UTM parameters, Orbe redirects them to the French experience while maintaining the full URL path and all original UTM parameters for proper campaign tracking.
