Shopify is always evolving its services and offers. Shopify Markets is an innovation that boosts brands and businesses to wider audiences and growth. A unified home for business expansion, it encourages brands to sell to multiple markets under one store, while still creating tailor-made experiences per market.
We’ve highlighted why we’re big fans of Shopify Markets, and why you should be too.
The benefits of Shopify Markets
Firstly, it’s a sure way to drive international growth. A business can have one store and multiple regions, all centralised in one place. You can efficiently open in multiple (10-15) markets in just weeks rather than months. All managed in one store so that you keep a clear overview of all the markets and even transfer settings from one to another to save on time and keep consistency.
Automated duties and tarrifs can be collected upfront or embedded into pricing to reduce friciton at checkout. Plus, a single backend for pricing, inventory, and fulfilment across markets reduces operarational complexity.
Localisation is a key factor to drive higher conversions, with local currency, language, and payment methods driving up to 20-30% greater conversion. The clear pricing (including duties and taxes), popular local payment methods and translated site content reduces friciton and greater chance of sale fulfilment. Further, proper localisation improves global SEO by making site structure, currency and language more relevant for search.
Overall, it allows you to build the best kind of experience for every buyer, which makes it feel more personal and enhances customer experiences.
How fashion brands benefit from Shopify Markets
- Consistent Branding, Tailored Market Experience: Maintain a single site with global brand identity while adapting pricing, promotions, and catalogues per market.
- B2C & B2B in One: New B2B Market features (like VAT ID support and pricing rules) enable seamless wholesale and direct‑to‑consumer sales.
- Control Over Positioning: Sub‑markets allow for pricing and assortment differentiation (e.g., premium pricing in Switzerland vs. clearance pricing elsewhere).
- Better Customer Experience: Duty‑paid pricing, localized messaging, and tailored promotions build trust — critical in fashion where price transparency and brand integrity matter.
