Detect and set a visitor’s optimal localization

If you have multiple localized versions of a single store using Shopify Markets, then you should make sure that each visitor interacts with the optimal version of the store. Depending on the merchant’s shop configuration, search engines might be able to pre-localize visitors, and Shopify might automatically redirect visitors. However, it’s still possible for a visitor to be browsing in a context for a market that they aren’t actually located in.

This guide shows how to use the Ajax API to detect a visitor’s optimal localization and to update their current state.
