Shopify Markets Pro: International Commerce Simplified
Shopify Markets Pro handles the complexity of cross-border commerce — duty and tax calculation, regulatory compliance, fraud protection, and currency conversion — so you can focus on selling. Our strategy team helps brands expand internationally with confidence.
Key Features
Guaranteed Duty and Tax Calculation
Markets Pro calculates duties and import taxes at checkout, so customers see the full landed cost before paying. No surprise charges at delivery. Shopify guarantees these calculations — if they are wrong, Shopify covers the difference.
Regulatory Compliance
Automatic compliance with import restrictions, product classification, and documentation requirements for 150+ countries. Restricted products are blocked from checkout before they cause customs issues.
Global Fraud Protection
International orders carry higher fraud risk. Markets Pro includes enhanced fraud screening for cross-border transactions. Combined with custom fraud logic, this protects your revenue from chargebacks.
Market Configuration
Pricing Strategy per Market
Set market-specific pricing — automatic conversion with rounding rules, manual fixed prices, or percentage adjustments. Account for local purchasing power, competition, and margin requirements in each market.
Local Payment Methods
Enable market-specific payment options beyond cards — iDEAL for Netherlands, Bancontact for Belgium, Sofort for Germany, Boleto for Brazil. Local payment methods can increase conversion by 20-30% in some markets.
Shipping Configuration
Configure shipping rates, carriers, and delivery estimates per market. Partner with carriers experienced in specific corridors. Markets Pro handles customs documentation and commercial invoices automatically.
Theme Localisation
Your Shopify theme must support localised experiences — language switching, currency display, market-specific content, and RTL layouts. Build themes with internationalisation from the start rather than retrofitting.
SEO for International Markets
Shopify Markets generates hreflang tags and subdirectory structures automatically. Supplement with market-specific keyword research and localised content. Our SEO services include international optimisation for each target market.
