Your questions about Shopify Markets
What is Shopify Markets?
Shopify's built-in way to sell in multiple countries from one store, with local currencies, languages, pricing, duties, payment methods and domains managed in one admin. See Shopify Markets.
Do I need a separate store per country?
Usually not. Markets lets one store serve many countries. A separate expansion store makes sense when a region needs a different catalogue, team or legal setup.
How do duties work with Shopify Markets?
Markets can estimate and collect duties and import taxes at checkout, so customers pay upfront instead of at delivery. We help decide where that makes sense.
Can you translate my store?
Yes. We translate product pages, checkout and policies first, using translation tools plus a human review for key pages, then the rest of the content.
Which payment methods should I offer in Europe?
It depends on the country. Cards and wallets work broadly, while some markets expect local methods. We check which your payment provider supports and which your customers use.
What does a Markets launch cost?
It depends on how many markets and languages you launch. We give one fixed price after reviewing where your orders come from. See pricing.
