Can we configure a separate folder name for an international store on Shopify?

@jain1980 Certainly! Here’s a guide to setting up an international store in a separate folder (like domain.com/intl/) on Shopify without using a subdomain:

  1. Prepare the International Store:
  • Duplicate your existing Shopify store to create an international version.
  • Customize the international store by adding products, setting prices in the desired currency, and adapting language preferences for the target market.
  1. Create a Subdirectory for the International Store:
  • Access your Shopify admin dashboard.
  • Navigate to “Online Store” > “Navigation.”
  • Add a new menu link named “International” or “Intl.”
  • Customize the link URL to point to domain.com/intl/ for the international store. Make sure the URL handles are correctly configured.
  1. Set Up URL Redirects:
  • Within your Shopify admin, find the “URL Redirects” or “URL Redirects Manager” section.
  • Establish a redirect rule directing traffic from domain.com/intl/ to the URL of the international store. This ensures that visitors accessing domain.com/intl/ are properly directed to the international store.
  1. Configure Currency Settings:
  • Go to “Settings” > “General” in your Shopify admin panel.
  • Adjust the “Store currency” settings to display prices in the chosen currency for the international store.
  1. Customize for International Audience:
  • Personalize content, language, and other settings to suit the preferences of your international audience for a more tailored shopping experience.
  1. Testing Phase:
  • Thoroughly test the setup by visiting domain.com/intl/ to confirm that visitors are redirected to the international store with the correct currency and language settings applied.

By carefully implementing these steps, you’ll be able to create an international store within a specific folder structure on Shopify, providing a seamless shopping experience for your international customers without the need for a subdomain. Testing the setup thoroughly ensures that everything works smoothly for your international audience.
