When people makes purchase we get the IP address as well separately, this allow us to do business analysis . What we found that in more than 40% case the location revenue cat showing is wrong. Can you please update your GEOIP database? Maxmind is the best provider in the world

Hello! You’re correct that purchase location is based off IP address. We updated our geo IP database from Maxmind on June 29th, have you noticed an improvement since then?

IP address is not persisted in our database, it’s dropped after the country is determined, so unfortunately a backfill isn’t possible :(
