Simulate Geolocation

Learn how to simulate the location of browsers using the IP Geolocation feature for your Playwright tests.

Introduction

BrowserStack’s IP geolocation feature allows you to simulate website behavior from different locations using IP addresses hosted in 45+ countries around the world. By incorporating IP geolocation into your tests, you can verify scenarios such as localized pricing, languages, product listings, and so on.

With IP geolocation enabled, traffic from your web app will originate from an IP address hosted in the country you have selected.

If your website serves different content based on the country your end-users live in, you will want to test that functionality. You can use the browserstack.geoLocation capability to test your websites across different countries using BrowserStack’s IP Geolocation feature.

Set the geolocation capability

Add the geoLocation key and the country code within the capabilities as shown in the following code snippet:

//sample_test.js
  const caps = {
    'browserstack.geoLocation' : 'FR'
  };
