Expanding your eCommerce business internationally has never been easier — thanks to Shopify’s powerful global selling features. Whether you’re a US-based merchant shipping to the UK, or an Australian brand breaking into North America, the opportunity is huge.
Here’s what you need to know about selling internationally with Shopify in 2025:
1. Localized Storefronts
Use Shopify Markets to tailor your store for specific regions. You can customize language, currency, pricing, and even product availability for different countries.
2. Multi-Currency and Payments
Shopify Payments supports over 130 currencies. Customers can pay in their local currency using trusted methods like PayPal, Klarna, and credit/debit cards.
3. Duties, Taxes, and Compliance
Shopify calculates international duties and import taxes at checkout, reducing surprises and abandoned carts. Markets Pro and Avalara integrations help ensure compliance.
4. Shipping and Fulfillment
Leverage carriers like DHL, FedEx, Australia Post, and Royal Mail. You can offer real-time shipping rates, international zones, and fulfillment from multiple warehouses.
5. Local SEO and Content
Translate content with Shopify Translate & Adapt. Use country-specific domains or subfolders (e.g., Home | Your Store ) to improve SEO.
6. Test Markets First
Start by offering international shipping before opening region-specific storefronts. Analyze demand and scale gradually.
Final Thoughts
Selling globally with Shopify unlocks new revenue and customer growth — but it takes planning. From compliance to logistics and language, there’s a lot to consider.
