Shopify Markets vs Expansion Stores: Selling Internationally

Most companies selling abroad can start with Shopify Markets, which handles languages, pricing, domains and subfolders from one store. Expansion stores earn their place when a region needs its own catalog, legal entity or team, and we help you work out which case is yours.

  • Markets or expansion stores, decided first
  • Fixed or adjusted pricing by market
  • Domains and languages set up for search

What Trips Up International Selling

Prices That Look Machine Made

A raw exchange rate gives you odd prices that shift over time. You can use rounding rules, percentage adjustments or fixed prices per market, and fixed prices skip exchange and rounding altogether.

Duties That Surprise the Customer

A shopper hit with an import charge on delivery may refuse the parcel and never come back. We plan whether duties are shown or collected at checkout, along with returns from each country.

Translated Pages Google Cannot Place

Domains, subfolders and languages need a clear structure or search engines may send people to the wrong version. We set this up before you translate everything.

What the Setup Covers

  • Markets versus expansion store decision
  • Market structure by country or region
  • Currency, rounding and price list setup
  • Domains or subfolders for each market
  • Language and translation setup
  • Payment method review by country
  • Shipping, duties and returns planning
  • Catalog differences between markets

  • Five-star review from SLAT-CO: This app is great! We found it saves so much time with the click to draft order feature. It saves double handling and having to manually enter items in as a draft order. The CRM and quote win/loss data is great at tracking sales efficiency also. Highly recommend!
