Mutiple country warehouse and company but same website content

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A merchant operating a Shopify Plus store based in France plans to expand fulfillment operations by adding warehouses in the US and Japan. Each location will have its own company entity to handle orders from their respective regions, while maintaining a single product catalog and website (already translated into three languages). Payments need to route to the corresponding country where each sale originates, with all other international orders shipping from France.

Proposed Solution:

  • Use Shopify’s Shipping Profiles feature
  • Create three locations within the profiles (France, US, Japan)
  • Configure shipping zones and rates for each location

The discussion remains open regarding whether this setup fully addresses the multi-entity billing and payout requirements, as the response focuses primarily on fulfillment logistics rather than financial routing across different companies.

Hi, I have a shopify store based in France and one warehouse also in France.

Tomorrow, I want to have a warehouse in the US to fulfill all orders coming from US and one in Japan to fulfill orders from Japan. So the set up would be three companies, one in each country (Japan, US, France) and in each of those countries, a warehouse. The shopify product catalog and the website should be the same. The current website is already translated in those three languages. The payout of the orders should go to the corresponding countries of where the sale came from. All other countries would be shipped our from the Paris company.

What is the shopify set up I need? I have a Shopify Plus account.

Hi @michinoparis

I am from Mageplaza - Shopify solution expert. I am happy to assist you further to address your question above. As I checked, Shopify already supports your request.

  • You need to create Shipping Profiles.
  • Within each profile, split them into three locations,
  • For each location, you can add shipping zones and set up the corresponding rates for these zones.
    You can refer to this article for more details: Shipping Profiles - Shopify Help Center
