Choose the operating model.
Then build the local assortment.

Start with where your business is based, what you sell and who should own day-to-day international operations.

Consider Managed Markets

You meet Shopify's requirements and want to manage the service within Shopify, with Shopify as your support route.

Explore standalone Global-e

You want to scope your international requirements directly with Global-e, including integration, services and commercial terms.

Plan merchandising either way

Your shipping model does not decide which hoodie should lead in Spain. Geosort lets your team set those country-level priorities.

Your checkout is localized.
Make your product priorities local too.

Once shoppers can buy internationally, the next question is what they discover. Geosort combines country bestsellers with launches, pins, Product Mix and stock rules.

Use Country Groups to share a strategy while keeping each country's own ranking. Shopify Markets synchronization is optional.

Unlimited rules.
Full merchandising control.

Promote launches, shape the product mix, pin key products and keep unavailable items out of prime positions. Build the strategy that makes sense for each country; Geosort applies it across your collections without constant manual reordering.
