Hi,

We are migrating from Magento where we have a multistore setup with 5-local domains (all selling same products, just with local domain names).

We have been trying Shopify Standard for a while where we use the international market setup, unique domain for each language. What I’m worried about is the SEO-performance compared to have standalone Shopify store for each domain using Shopify Plus.

-Through App we have been able to setup shopping-feeds for the international domains. Seems to work fine!
-Google Analytics is working.

-Different logo’s on each domain is working.

What’s the limitations that I’m missing compared to using Shopify Plus? For e-mail sender of order confirmations etc only one domain will be possible in Shopify Standard with international markets?
