Can the shopify location depending on the customers location?

Shopify Discussion

So I want to market my store to different parts of the world.

It would be ideal for me if a customer from the USA would see the correct currency once they visit the store. And this would then also be the case if someone from the UK would see the currency in Pounds.

Is there a way to automate this, so that the customer sees their own currency depending on their location and/or profile setting?

You can define country specific markets in Admin > Settings > Markets, including currencies and local taxes. Once you define a market, you can click on the preview button to test. Do remember to include your new market in a shipping profile or define a new one as needed. Cheers!

Hello @smahs , I want to do the same as VinUp. I’ve setup Markets for all countries, but does shopify automatically check customer’s location to check the market the customer is in, in order to show prices for products?

You can enable auto redirection in Markets > Preferences section. I just tested by using IPs from 3 different countries and it chose the correct currency every time (I had to clean up cookies for this test, but that makes sense).

You may need additional setup to display your store’s content in multiple languages. I suggest you review this page for more tips on giving your users a better UX while driving localization on your shop: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/international/automatic-redirection

Hi @VinUp

This is Richard at PageFly - Shopify Advanced Page Builder app.

You’re absolutely right, displaying prices in a customer’s local currency can significantly improve your Shopify store’s global reach. Here’s how to automate this process:

Built-in Multi-Currency:

  • Shopify offers built-in multi-currency support, but it requires some configuration.

  • Set Up Currencies: Go to your Shopify admin and navigate to Settings > Markets. Here, you can activate the currencies you want to support (like USD for the USA and GBP for the UK).

  • “Show Prices…” Checkbox: Enable the checkbox for “Show prices to customers in their local currency.” This leverages IP address detection to show prices in the currency associated with the customer’s location.

Limitations:

  • IP Detection Accuracy: IP address detection isn’t always foolproof. A customer might see the wrong currency if they’re using a VPN or their IP address doesn’t accurately reflect their location.

Hoping my solution helps you solve your problem.

Best regards,

Richard | PageFly
