Types of location targeting


There are 2 targeting option regarding location: Shopify Markets and Visitor Location.


Shopify Markets targeting takes into account the selected market that is in effect. Often times this can be set automatically, but it can also be set via dropdown selector:

This targeting option works regardless of where the customer is visiting from. If they choose the Canadian market and there is a bar targeted to that market, they will see that bar.


Visitor Location targeting on the other hand does not look at the Shopify market in effect, but instead determines the country of origin of the customer and only displays a bar if that country is targeted.


Both options can be used together at the same time.


⚠ Please note
Shopify Market targeting requires that your shop use Shopify Markets and Shopify payments.



ℹ️ Note
Bars using Visitor Location targeting may take slightly longer to load than bars that don't use it. If both types of location targeting meet your needs, for quickest loading time, use Shopify Market targeting.
