Expanding to a New Country: Using One Shopify Store with Multiple Domains and Payment Gateways

[Yousef7]

I currently have an online Shopify store and am expanding my business to a new country, where all operations will be handled locally. I want to use the same Shopify store for both countries while having a different payment gateway and domain for the new location, all managed within the same Shopify admin. Is this possible?

Yes, you can operate a Shopify store in multiple countries using a single store with multiple domains and payment gateways. 

Here's how you can achieve this:

• Depending on your Shopify plan, you can assign any number of individual domains or subdomains to specific countries or regions. For example, you can have mystore.com for the U.S., mystore.ca for Canada, and mystore.co.uk for the UK.
• To sell in multiple countries, you can use Shopify's Markets feature, which enables you to manage multiple markets from a single store. This includes setting up international domains and localizing currency and language. However, it doesn't support assigning different payment gateways to specific markets within the same store.
• The solution for setting up different payment gateways is to have separate Shopify stores for each country or use third-party apps. One example of such an app is PayRules. This app hides a few payment methods based on the customer’s shipping information. You can access this app via the Shopify app store.
