Global expansion, localizing content, and selling in multiple currencies and languages
Hello everyone, we are a store within the EU, we sell across the main European countries, and we invoice from a European company.
We are thinking to expand our business to USA. We would move some stock to any 3PL to deliver Good, saving shipping costs to American clients. We think Shopify resolve very well the issue to deliver from other warehouse, so we can set the US market to be served from the 3PL warehouse, right?
However the doubt is the following: we are thinking to créate a new company in USA, and to invoice the US online sales from that company, is it posible? Can we have two firms with the same Shopify account? Has anyone experience in this kind of issue?
You can see our doubts are the typical doubts of a dummy who wants to begin in USA.
Thanks

I think the best and popular way to do this is using a
Multiple Shopify Stores Approach:
You can create separate Shopify stores for EU and US operations
This allows you to have completely separate inventories, pricing, and tax structures
Each store can be linked to its respective legal entity (EU company and US company)
Shopify Plus users can manage multiple stores from a single dashboard
Many brands are doing this and it will allow you a better control. While working with a international brand we create different store for each markets and user redirected to their respective stores.
Thank you for your reply.
The question was to avoid to duplicate stores. In addition Shopify Plus is huge expensive for my current level of incomes.
Thank you @Supporter !!
Sorry for misunderstanding your question.
I think You can do that by a single store as well but with some limitations.
Set Up Locations: Add your EU warehouse and U.S. 3PL as separate locations in your Shopify store. Shopify will automatically fulfill orders based on the customer's shipping address and the inventory availability at the nearest location.
Shipping Zones: Create separate shipping zones for the U.S. and Europe. Assign the U.S. warehouse to the U.S. shipping zone and the EU warehouse to the European shipping zone.
Currency and Pricing: Use Shopify's multi-currency feature (available on Shopify Payments) to display prices in USD for U.S. customers and EUR (or other currencies) for European customers.
2. Invoicing with Two Companies
Shopify itself doesn’t natively support issuing invoices from two separate legal entities in a single store. However, you can work around this limitation:
Apps for Invoicing: Use apps like Sufio or Order Printer Pro to customize invoices. These apps allow you to create rules for invoicing based on the customer's location. For example:
U.S. orders can have invoices showing your U.S. company details (name, tax ID, address).
EU orders can have invoices showing your European company details.
Tax Settings: Configure separate tax rules for the U.S. and EU. Shopify allows you to manage VAT for EU customers and sales tax for U.S. customers.
I think this may help you if I understand your issue correctly
