# Accessing country and currency

If you're using the [local pricing service](/digital-river-api/using-our-services/local-pricing.md) with a [low code checkout solution](/digital-river-api/integration-options/low-code-checkouts.md), then [`digitalRiverPricing`](#digitalriverpricing) allows you to access the user's selected country and currency[.](/digital-river-api/using-our-services/local-pricing.md#local-pricing-selector)

## `digitalRiverPricing`

The `digitalRiverPricing` object, which you can access after [`onReady`](/digital-river-api/developer-resources/digitalrivercheckout.js-reference/initializing-digitalrivercheckout.js/digitalrivercheckout-configuration-object.md#onready) executes, exposes [`getCountry()`](#digitalriverpricing.getcountry) and [`getCurrency()`](#digitalriverpricing.getcurrency).

### `digitalRiverPricing.getCountry()`

Call `digitalRiverPricing.getCountry(`) to retrieve the country currently selected in the [local pricing selector](/digital-river-api/using-our-services/local-pricing.md#local-pricing-selector).

```javascript
digitalRiverPricing.getCountry();
```

The returned value is formatted as an [Alpha-2 country code](https://www.iban.com/country-codes).

### `digitalRiverPricing.getCurrency()`
