Go global, cross-border

How do I show local currency, language and payment methods without building N different websites?

The short answer

Shopify Markets handles this natively, set market-specific pricing, local payment methods and a translated storefront from one backend, no separate codebase needed. Shoppers convert meaningfully better when they see local currency instead of a converted USD/INR price, so this isn't a nice-to-have, it's table stakes for a serious international store. Start with the 2-3 markets that already show organic traffic before localizing everywhere.
