Expanding to new markets

Shopify Discussion

Hey guys :slightly_smiling_face:

We’ve been running a shopify store in Taiwan targeting our local market only since 2020 and we’re looking to expand to new markets (HK and US).

Context:

Taiwan is unique as they have their own fulfillment method using convenient stores nationwide, therefore we’ve implemented a custom checkout step using a 3rd party app. No Issues for TW market.

Below is the checkout flow based on the users location.

TW: Chinese site - ATC > Choose convenient store (appA) > Checkout > payment (Credit card or COD).
HK: Chinese/English site - ATC > Choose convenient store (appB) > Checkout > payment (Credit card or COD).
US: English site - ATC > Checkout > payment (Credit card).

Question : Is there a way to identify the user’s location to display the language, prices, shipping costs and how to switch to different checkout flows.

Hi,

You can try geolocation app for this. The app can automatically detect a visitor’s location based on IP address and adjust settings accordingly.
