How to change my location from USA to Inida

Hi All,

I have a retail shopify store in the US and I am wondering how I can start selling to other countries. Let me explain what I mean..

-My store is in the US and I sell in USD.

-My products come from India.

-I primarily sell only in the US.

-There is a tremendous increase in folks wanting to buy our products in other countries,

-So I decided to keep the stock in India and sell from there by offering multiple currencies.

What I am looking to do is,

  • Keep the current shopify store as it is and change the location to india and offer multiple currency option.

-When folks buy online, they will be charged in local currency but my payout will be in USD, deposited in the US bank.

-The products will be shipped to the customers directly from the india location.

One more question…

Can I use my credit card reader outside the US?

Thanks..

Hi, @AntaraW .

Those are great questions! Thanks for posting.

You can achieve exactly what you are looking for through Shopify Markets. Shopify Markets is a relatively new feature which allows Shopify stores to target international markets from a single Shopify account. Not only can you sell in different currencies; you can create tailored experiences based on a customer’s location. This includes the currency, domain, and languages!

When it comes to your payouts, if you are using Shopify Payments, your customers will be charged in their local currency, and you will be paid out in USD to the account on file. That being said, there are some limitations, and some currencies that are not accepted. You will want to review this document before moving forward.

Please follow this guide to get started: managing markets. If you have any questions along the way we are here to help.

Regarding your card reader, it will currently only be able to process transactions in the United States.

In the meantime, I would love to learn more about your business! What is the domain?

Hi @Skye_1 Thank you very much for the input. I will certainly look into the Shopify Markets. I primarily sell pure handwoven silk and cotton sarees completely curated by me. Though my prime market is the US, I do get lot of requests from other parts of the world to buy my products. SO decided to dive into that option. My website is www. antaraweaves.com

Also, one quick question.. Can I accept sales through POS outside the US?
