Hi! I am searching also to do this. Did you find any solution?
Topic summary
A merchant selling locally produced groceries wants to customize their Shopify store to display different products and inventory levels based on customer location (postal code or dropdown selection).
Proposed Solutions:
- Set up separate Collections for each geographic area
- Tag products with zip codes to enable search filtering
- Use metafields with Shopify’s Search & Discovery app for collection filtering
- Create separate product variants per zip code and sync inventory using automation tools like Mechanic
- Leverage Shopify’s international market publishing features (though unclear if this works for regions within the same country)
Key Challenges:
- Building a zip code-based search UI requires advanced theme customization
- Manipulating backend inventory levels adds significant complexity
- Limited cross-app interoperability among search/inventory apps
Outstanding Questions:
- How to implement zip code tagging for search results
- Which apps handle location-based inventory display on the frontend
- Whether Shopify’s international publishing works for domestic regional differences
The discussion remains open with another merchant seeking similar solutions.
