Market Detail Page

A market's page brings together everything about that market: its name and status, the regions it includes, the settings it customizes, the settings it inherits from your store, its place in the market hierarchy, and more. It is where you review a market in one place and open any part to change it.

A market's page is where everything about that market comes together. Instead of hunting through separate screens, you see the market's name and status, the regions it covers, the settings it has customized, the settings it inherits from your store, and how it sits among your other markets, all in one place. This makes it the page you open to understand a market and to change any part of it. You reach it by opening a market from the Markets list.

Before you begin

  • You have a market to open. Everything on this page belongs to one market.
  • Your role includes View markets, and Edit markets to change anything on the page.
  • Open Markets in the left navigation, then select a market to open its page.

What is on a market's page

The page groups a market's settings into a few areas, so you can read the market in one pass and open any part to adjust it.

A market's page for a European Union market, showing the Name and Active status, the Includes regions (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, and more), the Customized Domain and language, the Inherited settings for Currency, Catalogs, Discounts, Online Store, Taxes and duties, and Returns, the Market hierarchy, Additional settings with Shipping and Customer privacy, and Metafields (opens full size)

The parts of the page

Each area covers a different aspect of the market, and most link to a fuller article.

Area What it holds
Name and status The market's name and whether it is Active
Includes The regions the market covers
Customized Settings changed for this market, such as Domain and language
Inherited settings Settings the market takes from your store: Currency, Catalogs, Discounts, Online Store, Taxes and duties, and Returns
Market hierarchy The market's parent market and any sub-markets
Additional settings Shipping and Customer privacy for the market
Metafields Custom fields defined for the market

Customized versus inherited settings

The page separates the settings a market has changed from those it takes from your store. Under Customized are the settings this market overrides, such as its Domain and language. Under Inherited settings are the ones it uses as your store has them, each shown with an add control you can use to customize it for this market. This split makes it easy to see what is special about a market and what follows your store.

Tip: Leave a setting under Inherited settings while it should follow your store, and move it to Customized only when this market genuinely needs its own value. That keeps each market as simple as possible.

Reviewing and changing a market

Because the page brings everything together, you use it both to review a market and to change it. Its name, status, and regions are shown at the top, its currency, catalog, taxes, and other settings below, and its place among your markets to the side. From here you open any setting to adjust it for the market.

Best practices

  • Review the whole page. Reading the market's page shows what it customizes and what it inherits.
  • Customize only what you need. Leave settings as inherited unless a market genuinely needs its own, so markets stay simple.
  • Check the status. Make sure a market is Active when you want it live.
  • Use it as your starting point. Open the market's page first, then go to the specific setting you want to change.

If something goes wrong

  • A setting is not what you expect. Check whether it is under Customized or Inherited settings, since inherited ones follow your store.
  • The market is not live. Check the status at the top of the page and set it to Active if needed.
  • You cannot find a setting. Each area covers a different part of the market; look under the matching heading.
  • You cannot change the market. Your role may not allow managing markets. Ask an owner or admin.

  • Add Regions to a Market

    Adding regions to a market sets which countries the market applies to, so buyers in those places get that market's settings. You do it from the market's Includes control, which opens the Market conditions dialog, where you search for and select the regions to include. The regions you add take on the market's currency, catalog, and other settings.

  • Set a Market's Currency

    A market's currency is the currency its buyers are charged in. You set it from the market's Currency setting, where a dropdown chooses how the market charges, such as using local currencies, and a price-rounding option tidies converted prices. This lets buyers in a market pay in the money they expect.

  • Catalogs

    A catalog lets you customize which products, and at what prices, are shown to different markets or customer groups, without running separate stores. You manage them on the Catalogs page, where you create a catalog, or export and import catalogs. This is how one store serves different audiences differently.

  • Edit Regions in a Market

    Editing a market's regions changes which countries it covers, by ticking regions to add and unticking them to remove. You do it in the Market conditions dialog, opened from the market's Includes control, where the regions already in the market are shown ticked. A search box helps you find a region quickly in the long list.
