Enhanced Customer Location Identification Using Device Geo Data
We have updated our location identification logic to provide more precise geolocation data when clients send device.geo information via API. Previously, location resolution relied on the IP address, which provided accuracy down to the postal code level. Now, when clients send request.device.service: custom, we will prioritize the device.geo data and bypass the IP-based location lookup.
Key Updates:
- Improved Accuracy: Clients can now provide device.geo data for more precise location tracking, reducing friction in distance-based rules.
- Documentation Update: device.service: custom is now an allowed value.
- Clients can best utilize this update by sending the above data and using it in the rule Customer Distance from Previous Transaction.
