Topic summary

Creating two nearly identical websites (≈90% same products) with automatic redirection based on user language, avoiding translation apps. Goal is to send customers to the site that matches their language/market.

Proposed approaches:

  • Use third‑party Shopify apps that handle language/location-based redirection.
  • Implement custom coding to detect location and show a popup offering to switch to the local store (e.g., visitor in UK on US store gets option to go to UK site).

Follow‑up and current status:

  • Request for specific app examples received no concrete names; suggestion is to search the Shopify App Store or contact Shopify support for recommendations.
  • No technical details, app links, or code shared; no decision or implementation confirmed.

Open points:

  • Identification of specific Shopify apps for language/location redirect.
  • Whether the solution will be a popup prompt vs. automatic redirect and how it impacts SEO/UX.

Outcome: Discussion remains open with unanswered questions about exact tools and execution.

Hello,

We want to create 2 websites having nearly 90 % same poducts. But we want to do specific marketing action on each market using translate apps is not an option. As big brand do, we need to redirect customer to the website matching with langage.

How can we do ?

Best regards

Hi @Gayolle there are few options through which you can achieve this.

  1. There are 3rd party apps in the shopify app store that use to provide this functionality.
  2. You can achieve this from custom coding so that there will a popup on the site asking them if they want to shop on the store that is specifically made for their location, i.e. if a customer opens the store from UK but seeing the US store, then there will be a popup showing that you can go to UK store for your better experience.

If you will unable to implement the same then I’m happy to do this for you, let me know. I can implement the changes so that this will work well for you.

Hopefully it will help you. If yes then Please don’t forget hit Like and Mark it as solution!
