Markets - upcoming changes

[dontaskmeow]

Shopify are rolling out changes to markets. I'm on the basic plan. I manage three markets as advertised as part of the basic plan. I use fulfilment centres in three different country's, I tailor my products by material, design, language variations , use a different theme banner per country etc. This had been working great in the leadup to my planned launch in a few weeks time. Then the update was rolled out and my "Markets" moved from settings to navigation. Discussing with Shopify it has been confirmed to me that this feature is no longer going to be available on basic, only on plus and advance. It is still advertised today as available on basic, if you start a new store you can still manage markets but once your store is updated you wont be able to unless you pay the extra £3k+ per annum to upgrade. I believe this move is really poor by Shopify, I'm hoping someone contacts me because this will really impact my business and will result in many wasted hours of work and marketing. Anyone else affected?

Yes, I had this issue too: https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-discussions/quot-products-and-pricing-quot-missing-from-mark...

Wasted a lot of time on it. I hope you find a solution, and best of luck with your launch.

My store isn't even 5 years old and they are forcing me to pay 10-11x more to maintain the same basic features I had when I started out. This is pretty disgusting behavior by Shopify, not to mention they did this without any warning. Makes me want to leave Shopify entirely. Who knows what they will do next in the future.

Same issue here. Started with Shopify in 2020. Using around 20 markets now on the once-called "Shopify" plan paying 79$ per month.

Updating our plan would mean for the features we are already using, we would need to pay around 1500-2000$ per month, just for the markets. 

This is truly disgusting behaviour by @Shopify . Instead of thanking loyal customers by discounting the markets that have already been in use to 0$ (as it is now), they are wanting more and more .... without any added functionality!
