We run DR.SNOW (dr-) — a Shopify store currently in English with language & currency options, but the experience is not fully localized.
We need one expert to fully implement localized storefront experiences for UK, USA, Europe (EU), and Israel so customers instantly see the correct currency, shipping messaging, taxes/VAT, policies, and checkout experience based on their region.
This is not just translation — it's market setup + storefront UX localization.
Goals
Create a clean, premium, region-specific shopping experience for:
UK (GBP, UK shipping info, policies, tax behavior)
USA (USD, US shipping info, policies)
EU / Europe (EUR, EU shipping info, VAT/tax behavior, policies)
Israel (ILS, local info as baseline)
Required Skills
Shopify (Markets, Payments, Shipping, Taxes, Domains)
Geo-redirect / country selector UX best practices
Shopify theme customization (Liquid/CSS/JS) OR ability to implement via Shopify settings/apps cleanly
Strong understanding of VAT / EU customer expectations
Experience implementing multi-region domains/subdomains or subfolders in Shopify
Scope of Work (Deliverables)
1) Market Architecture Setup (Shopify Markets)
Create/adjust Markets for UK / USA / EU / Israel
Set default currency per market (GBP/USD/EUR/ILS)
Ensure customer always sees the correct currency automatically on entry
Confirm checkout currency behavior and compatibility with Shopify Payments
2) Domain / URL Structure (like competitors)
Implement region-based structure similar to:
for UK
for USA (or equivalent)
for Europe
main domain for Israel (or a clean alternative)
Deliver: recommendation + implementation (subdomains preferred unless you strongly recommend subfolders and explain why).
Set correct redirects and canonical/SEO-safe configuration.
3) Geo-Detection + Country Selector UX
Auto-detect region and route users to the correct market without harming UX
Add a clean country/language selector (header/footer) that:
shows region/currency clearly
lets users override detection
remembers user choice (cookie)
4) Shipping, Delivery Times, Free Shipping Messaging (Per Market)
Configure shipping zones/rates per market
Add market-specific messaging on:
Product page (above the fold)
Cart
Checkout (where possible)
Examples: "Ships from ", "Delivery: X–Y business days", "Free shipping over "
5) Taxes / VAT Handling (Per Market)
Israel: local tax behavior
EU: proper VAT behavior (or clear tax handling as required by our setup)
UK/US: correct tax settings for those regions
Deliver: clear explanation of your setup + proof it works in test orders.
6) Policies & Trust Builders (Per Market)
Create market-specific versions (or dynamic blocks) for:
Shipping policy
Returns/refunds
Warranty/guarantee wording
Contact/support info and hours (if applicable)
Must appear locally consistent and premium.
7) Theme/UI Localization Tweaks (Premium EU/UK feel)
Adjust storefront elements to feel region-native:
Currency formatting (€, £, $)
Local wording for key storewide microcopy (shipping/returns/guarantee)
Checkout/cart reassurance blocks
Any other UX improvements that increase trust for EU/UK shoppers
8) QA Testing + Handover
Test each market end-to-end:
entry routing
currency switching
cart → checkout
shipping rates shown correctly
taxes/VAT behavior
Provide a short handover document:
what you changed
how to edit settings later
how to add more EU countries in the future
list of installed apps (if any) and why
Constraints / Preferences
Prefer native Shopify functionality over heavy apps (unless truly needed).
Keep the experience fast and clean.
No "fake" localization: everything must be consistent per region (currency, policy, shipping info).
Work must be done by one person end-to-end.
To Apply (Screening Questions)
Please include:
2–3 Shopify stores where you implemented multi-region Markets + domain structure
Your recommended approach: subdomains vs subfolders for this project, and why
Which geo-redirect method you'll use (native Shopify/app/custom) and why
Expected delivery milestones (e.g., setup → routing → shipping/tax → QA)
Success Criteria
UK visitors land on UK experience with GBP, UK shipping/policies shown
EU visitors land on EU experience with EUR, EU shipping/policies shown
US visitors land on US experience with USD
Israel remains localized properly with ILS
Smooth switching + user preference remembered
Checkout reflects the correct market configuration
Contract duration of 1 to 3 months.
Mandatory skills: Shopify, Search Engine Optimization, Web Development, Market Research, Content Writing, Web Design
