What is the difference between Shopify Markets and Managed Markets ?
Markets is a cross-border management tool that helps you identify, set up, launch, optimize, and manage your international markets - all from a single store. With Markets, you can create customized online shopping experiences for different customer segments.
Markets is ideal for merchants who want control over their international operations but are fine with handling the complexities themselves, such as configuring taxes, shipping, and localization manually.
Managed Markets expands the capabilities of the cross-border management tools that are offered by Markets.
Managed Markets is Ideal for merchants who want to expand globally without dealing with the challenges of managing international operations on their own, outsourcing the complexity to experts and third party partners.
