HOw to remove Market?

Topic summary

A user wants to remove or change their primary market (Slovakia) in Shopify, but discovers this isn’t directly possible.

Key limitations identified:

  • Primary markets cannot be deleted or removed
  • The primary market represents the default customer experience and is determined by the store’s address and currency
  • Regional groupings (Europe, Asia, International) cannot be set as primary markets—only individual countries can

Workaround solution provided:

  1. Create a new market with a specific country as the primary market
  2. Add Slovakia as its own separate market
  3. Use “More actions” → “Make primary market” to designate the new market
  4. Screenshots were shared showing the Settings → Markets navigation path

Important note: Users emphasized that being able to set only individual countries (not regions) as primary markets is a non-obvious limitation that newer Shopify users often miss.
