Phase 03 · Scale

One store. Every market. Done right.

We set up Shopify's Markets feature for multi-region selling, configure currencies, build language switchers, and handle the catalog, tax, and shipping rules each market actually needs. No duplicate stores, no broken SEO, no checkout in the wrong currency.

The problem

What's holding you back from going international?

  • I'm running one Shopify store and converting prices client-side, which is fooling no one.
  • Different markets need different products, different prices, different shipping rules. I don't know how to architect that.
  • I tried duplicate stores and it's an SEO and inventory nightmare.
  • I want to launch in the UK / EU / UAE / AU and I want it to feel native to that buyer, not like a translated American site.

Questions

Probably already answered.

Do I need Shopify Plus for this?

Plus unlocks full Shopify Markets functionality including custom checkout per region, B2B per-market pricing, and Markets Pro. Standard Shopify supports up to 3 markets with basic functionality, which works for many brands. We'll recommend Plus only if your scope actually needs it.

Subdomains, subfolders, or separate domains?

Depends on the brand. Subfolders (yourstore.com/uk/) keep SEO equity unified, best for most. Subdomains (uk.yourstore.com) are useful for separate teams managing each market. Separate domains (yourstore.co.uk) are the strongest local-feel signal but split SEO equity. We'll recommend per case during kickoff.

Can you translate the copy?

We set up the translation framework (Translate & Adapt, Langify, or similar) so the infrastructure is in place. We don't write translated copy ourselves, we recommend professional native-speaker translators or Shopify's AI translation for first-pass content. Translation quality matters more than the framework, and we want you working with native speakers in each market.

What about local payment methods?

We configure every payment method Shopify and your gateway support, iDEAL for Netherlands, Klarna for Nordic, Bancontact for Belgium, Mada for UAE, etc. Negotiating with local gateways or banks is on you, but we wire up everything Shopify-native.

How long for a second region after the first?

Each additional region after the first runs 1-2 weeks, quoted per region, because the framework is already in place. Most of the work in region one is architectural, region two and beyond is configuration.

What if I'm not ready for full multi-region but want multi-currency?

We can do currency-only as a lighter scope, Shopify's native currency conversion at checkout, no language switcher, no per-market catalog. Simpler scope, faster turnaround. Tell us in the audit if that's the right starting point.
