Shopify Geolocation alternative: three ways to send store visitors to their country

Why look for a Shopify Geolocation alternative

The Shopify Geolocation alternatives are Shopify's own automatic redirection, Geo Targetly's script in the theme and a country selector. The Geolocation app page says the app is not currently available on the Shopify App Store, and Shopify's help page says it only recommended a country or language and did not adjust either.

Geo Targetly's Dev plan is $12 a month billed monthly, with a quota of 1,000 pageviews a month, on its standard list; a live price test showed some visitors $14 (as read on October 30, 2026). Shopify's help page prints no price for its own redirection.

Three options, priced

Geo Targetly is the only one of the three sold separately. Its button above leads to Geo Targetly's site, where the 14-day trial starts.

Shopify's own automatic redirection

Shopify's help page says to activate the Country/region setting in the Automatic redirection section. For markets with their own domains, it then detects a customer's geolocation and redirects them to the URL for their resolved market.

Content on markets that use shared domains isn't indexed by search engines, and EU country domains aren't redirected automatically. On a shared domain, Shopify shows prices in the market's currency.

Geo Targetly on a Shopify store

Geo Targetly's integrations page marks its Shopify app as coming soon, so the route to use is to paste the script into the theme, as what is Geo Targetly explains. Geo Targetly's help article places the script in the header of the theme.liquid file.

Through that script Geo Targetly can ask permission with a popup before redirecting, redirect or show content by state and city, and show regional banners. Geo Currency shows prices in a visitor's local currency as a display change only, without changing your actual pricing tiers.

On a Shopify store the script can run on Geo Targetly's 14-day trial, with no card asked for. Geo Targetly pricing carries the plans, and the pricing page says no refunds are provided and the quota does not roll over to the next billing cycle.

Which store should pick which

• Shopify automatic redirection for a store with a dedicated domain per market.
• Geo Targetly for a store that wants an ask-first prompt, state rules or regional banners.
• A visible country selector for any store: Google recommends links to the other versions of a page.

The redirect website visitors by country steps put separate URLs and hreflang before any redirect.
