Questions and answers

Can Shopify handle prices that change with the customer's location?

Not from the catalogue alone. The price turns on the product, the stock on hand and the trip from a depot, so a separate service works it out and the store asks it.

Is the old application gone?

No. As of 10 September 2026 it was partly retired and the move was still going.

How do you know the new prices are right?

Both systems ran on the same products and the answers were compared. The new code matched the old on 41 of 41 products tested, before any traffic moved. No parity, no move.

Did this increase revenue?

We cannot show that and will not claim it. No revenue, order-volume or quote-error figure exists for this account, so this page carries dated fixes only.
