Country Switcher
Overview
This section does not apply to Shopify. For information about Shopify, see Shopify Native. |
The Global‑e Country Switcher, or Country Selector, is enabled by default after integration.
For countries operated by Global‑e, when Global‑e detects a customer browsing from a country that is not the Merchant's, the Country Switcher displays the customer's country or currency.
The shopper can change the country and currency combination that were automatically detected based on location.
For added convenience, Global‑e offers the option to customize the appearance and content of the Country Switcher, aligning it with your brand identity and design.
Note
The terminology for the Country Switcher varies depending on the platform, and it can also be referred to as the Country Selector or Shipping Switcher.
Design: Country Switcher
For added convenience, Global‑e offers the option to customize the appearance and content of the Country Switcher, aligning it with your brand identity and design.
