Merchant-of-record service

How it works

International customers check out on your store and the merchant of record collects the payment. They report and remit to local tax authorities, and you receive a payout in your local currency—just like your domestic sales.

Frequently asked questions

How do price adjustments work?

With Shopify Managed Markets, your product prices are automatically converted into local currencies for international buyers—and all cross-border fees (including the Managed Markets fee and currency conversion) are directly included into the prices buyers see at checkout.


This means your payout is based on your domestic prices, and the cost of selling internationally is handled transparently on the buyer side. If you choose to manually set prices per market, cross-border fees are no longer built into the buyer's price—meaning they'll be deducted from your payout, which may vary from order to order.

How does chargeback protection work?

With Shopify Managed Markets you're automatically enrolled in Shopify Protect, which covers eligible chargebacks on international orders. When chargebacks occur, you keep the full payout—and won't be charged the disputed amount or a chargeback fee.


Shopify Protect applies to all international orders processed through Managed Markets. Eligibility for coverage is determined per order.

How are Shopify Managed Markets fees charged to my buyers?

All fees associated with Shopify Managed Markets, including product fees, taxes, and currency conversion fees, are built into the prices your international buyers see at checkout. Buyers pay a single all-inclusive local price, and you pay your standard Shopify Business processing fee on each transaction.


Unlike most international selling tools, where fees are deducted from your payout, Managed Markets doesn't reduce your domestic revenue with cross-border fees.

What are the shipping options and rates with Shopify Managed Markets?

Shopify Managed Markets has partnered with multiple shipping carriers to offer exclusive, affordable rates for economy, standard and express international shipping. Express shipping with Managed Markets can deliver around the world in 1-5 days.

Where can I sell with Shopify Managed Markets?

Shopify Managed Markets supports selling to 150+ regions. Some high-risk currency markets (including Argentina, Turkey, Lebanon, and Venezuela) are not currently supported due to currency volatility and compliance requirements.


Supported destinations and local currency availability may vary. See the full list of supported markets on the Help Center.

What happens to my existing international markets if I activate Shopify Managed Markets?

You select which markets you'd like to activate with Shopify Managed Markets. Shopify then migrates any existing international market settings and enables all features in eligible markets. Your checkout and any translated pages remain localized, so your buyers will see a familiar experience.


We recommend reviewing your market settings after activation to confirm that pricing and configuration match your expectations.

Who is eligible to use Shopify Managed Markets?

To use Shopify Managed Markets, your business needs to be based in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom and you need to have Shopify Payments activated on your store. Your business must also meet the Shopify Payments eligibility requirements set out in the Shopify Payments Terms of Service for the United States, Canada, or United Kingdom, and the Requirements for using Managed Markets in the Shopify Help Center.


Managed Markets will be expanding to other regions. Check the Shopify Changelog or your admin for updates.
