Change Content Of My Website Depending On The User Location

Topic summary

Goal: show different homepage content (blocks, images, products) based on user location/market, not just translate text.

  • Staff guidance: Use Store Contextualization via Shopify Markets in the Online Store Editor to set different layouts per market; use a translation app (e.g., Translate & Adapt) solely for text. The warning about the store’s primary language is informational—translations aren’t managed in the editor, but layout changes per market are.

  • Clarification: Translate & Adapt only handles text, not images/sections. For images and blocks varying by market, configure separate market-specific layouts with Store Contextualization, then apply translations via the app.

  • Alternative tool: A community member recommends the third‑party app “Context” to swap section content based on geolocation, with a video demo link provided.

  • Outcome: The original poster appreciates the suggestion and plans to use it in the new site version.

  • Status: Largely resolved. Practical paths: (1) Built-in Markets contextualization for per‑market layouts + a translation app for text, or (2) the “Context” app for geolocation‑based content swaps. External help doc and demo video were shared.
