Because shipping costs differ, can I set different prices depending on a customer's region?

[douglerner]

I still haven't opened my shop, but I'm hoping to soon, and start with on-demand shipping products. The source will be Printful for now. I'd like to include shipping in my price so it looks like free shipping to the customer.

Can I set the price for a customer depending on their region? For example, one price for U.S. customers paying in dollars, and a different price for Japan customers paying in yen?

Thanks,

@douglerner,

Yes, you can set different prices for different regions in Shopify by using a combination of features:

1. **Price Adjustments for Different Regions:**
- **Shopify Markets**: If you're on Shopify Plus or using Shopify Markets, you can set up different pricing for different markets (regions/countries). This allows you to adjust prices based on the customer's location. You can create separate pricing for each region and display it in the local currency.
- **Price Lists**: For specific regions, you can set up price lists in Shopify Markets to show different prices based on the customer's location.

2. **Manual Price Adjustments:**
- **Product Variants**: You can create variants for different regions and set different prices for each variant. For example, you could have a "U.S. Price" variant and a "Japan Price" variant.
- **Discount Codes**: Another method is to use discount codes that apply based on the customer's location. This can be a bit less direct but still effective.

3. **Apps and Plugins:**
- **Multi-Currency Apps**: There are apps available in the Shopify App Store, like **Auto Currency Switcher** or **Currency Converter Plus**, that can help manage regional pricing and currency conversion.

You’ll need to ensure that the shipping cost is included in the product price and that the customer perceives it as free shipping. To do this, make sure your product pricing accounts for the shipping costs when calculating the final price for different regions.

Thanks for your reply. I was going to start with Shopify Basic, so I guess I can't use the features mentioned in (1). I'm not sure what "Shopify Markets" is.

I'll check out the manual price variants, and the multi-currency apps you mentioned. I think I need to also include tax in the price. And of course, somehow include the cost of advertising!

p.s. I'm not ready to DM for personal guidance yet, but will keep that in mind.
