Frequently asked questions
Here are some common questions about market switching:
- I changed my network settings to a different country, but the store didn't switch to the corresponding market. Why?
After changing your network settings, try accessing the store in a private browsing window to see if the market has switched. Since market switching relies on IP addresses, some VPNs may not switch accurately. Enable the Geolocation app and manually select the region to ensure accurate market switching.
- Why hasn't the market currency switched after setting it?
If your theme version is outdated, the market functionality may fail. Try upgrading your theme to the latest version.
By configuring the Geolocation app and testing your market settings, you can ensure a smooth and personalized shopping experience for customers in different regions. This improves customer satisfaction and optimizes sales performance by effectively targeting the right audience.
