geolocation - Use cloudflare provided country in place of wordpress internal country for pricing of product different for different country

Question

Newbiee here. I am running a woocommerce store with cloudflare active. I am actually interested in product price based on currency, for that plugin to work GEOIP should work.

There is a option in setting where wordpress can detect user country based on IP using its internal max-mind plugin. But since i am running wordpress in a shared enviroment i would rather delicate this work to some other server.

I believe cloudflare send user country in the header. Is there a way i can use that rather than in built geoIP detection?? And if yes any lead , where can i put this code?

PS: Okay so i saw in one forum to add these snippet:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_geolocate_ip', 'sqz_geolocate_cf_ipcountry' );
function sqz_geolocate_cf_ipcountry( $country ) {
    return  $_SERVER[ 'HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY' ];
}

Now does this mean first my internal Ip detection run and then it is over-ridden here or this woocommerce_geolocate_ip functionality is replaced by 'sqz_geolocate_cf_ipcountry' method??

I would rather prefer to use country provided by cloudflare and in case if there is some problem(like cloudflare turned off) then use internal maxmind geoip detection.Is it doing that??
