How can I manage multiple stores in different countries?

[sagitar]

Hi,

We are launching a new store and are having operations in India and in USA.   Inventory, pricing, some products and some of the FAQ elements are different between these two stores.  Also, some pages may  be relevant for only one store.  Given, this, we are wondering how do we go about this?  Do we get two Shopify accounts and copy the content around or is there a better way of doing this.

Appreciate your help.

Hi @sagitar !

We usually recommend merchants to have a store for each country to better manage inventory, currency and the like. When cloning the same store for a different country you can request a discount for the second store as per the following from Shopify Support (Thanks @Trevor !)

"Our multi-store discount was created for merchants who need additional stores that are set in a different language or currency than their primary store. This means that each additional store requires that the brand & products be identical to what is offered within the primary account. If a merchant meets the eligibility requirements for this discount then the discount would be as follows:

1. Store A (Primary account) would be on our $79 or $299 plan.
2. Every store thereafter would be on our $29 plan and would reap all the features of the plan that store A is subscribed to. (Ie reports, lower credit card/transaction fees, etc)

If you feel that your stores would qualify for this discount and you'd like to start the process of getting this discount applied then feel free to reply back here and I can reach out directly to get the ball rolling!"

Cheers!

Thank you for the answer and it really helps.  Is this option available only for only $79 store or also available for $29 store?  

Thanks again for your response.

$Since the second store will be 29$ anyway it doesn't really matter if Store 1 is 29$ per month since the discount is that the second store is 29$.

Cheers!
