Setting up Shopify Markets and Automatic Redirection

Hi all,

Hope you’re all doing fine. I want to start selling internationally. Right now I’m only selling in the Netherlands and Belgium but I want to expand to countries like Germany, France, Italy, Spain etc.

For this we are using a different market per language to make sure the languages and products are native to each market. I translate with Translate and Adapt.

So the domains will look like this:

  • … .co (Primary domain)
  • … .co/de-de (German market)
  • … .co/fr-fr (French Market)
  • … .co/es-es (Spanish market)
  • etc.

I want the customer to automatically be redirected to the right market he/she is in. Without any pop-up, extra loading time. So if a Spanish person goes to … .co, he/she will automatically go to … .co/es-es where the Spanish language and right products are for him/her.

I tried to set this up with Automatic Redirection and tried to test it with a VPN but it doesn’t work.

With the Geolocation is does work when using a pop-up (see picture), but as I said I want it to go flawlessly, without a pop-up.

Does anyone of you have experience in this?

Looking forward to your reply!
