Hi @NadjaPilic ,

• I am guessing the markets are not enabled.

  • From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Markets.

  • Click Manage beside the market that you want to activate.

  • Click the Activate market.

  • Help documentation - https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/markets/managing-markets

• If markets are properly enabled and you can’t still see countries, then you have to set up shipping profiles and zones.

Hi, @NadjaPilic .

Thank you for reaching out and bringing this to our attention.

If you’re only shipping to one country, then the shipping fields in the checkout will only display the available country that the store ships to. However, this shouldn’t affect the billing fields on the customer’s information page of the checkout. That being said, if you’d like to add more countries to the drop-down field for checkout, then you can simply edit the shipping zones for your store.

Just to confirm, are you experiencing this issue on the billing information or the shipping information page in the checkout?

Hello. It says here that US is my primary market, can I changed that? I think that might be the problem…

Thank you for your time.

Hello, @NadjaPilic .

Thanks for the additional context!

If you’re not seeing any markets other than your primary market, then you may need to add a market or activate a market as suggested by @Lucid_Polygon . Since you’ll be selling in other markets, then the following resources pertaining to Shopify Markets may be beneficial for you.

• Shipping for Markets - this is an important step when setting up a new market so we’d encourage starting with our guide on international shipping considerations.
• Localization and translation - for improving search engine optimization for different markets and giving customers the ability to view your store in their native language.
• Pricing in local currencies - this allows customers to view prices in your store, pay for their orders at checkout, and receive refunds in their local currencies.
• International domains - if you’re using a custom domain, then you can also set up country-specific subdomains (eg. shop.fr, fr.shop.com, shop.com/fr).

I’d love to hear more about your business! What kinds of products are you selling? Which markets are you looking to expand into?
