How to Show Different Videos for Different Shopify Markets
Updated 3 days ago
Create a separate Moast widget for each Shopify Market, then assign the right widget to each market in your Shopify Theme Editor. After that, shoppers in Canada will see your Canada widget, and shoppers in the United States will see your U.S. widget.
Before you start
This guide uses the Shopify Theme Editor to change which Moast widget appears in each market. If you have never added a Moast widget to your theme before, start with the New Widget Editor guide first.
Step 1: Create one widget for each market
Open the Widgets tab in your Moast dashboard and click New widget.
Pick a widget style.
Choose where the widget goes. Select Product or Anywhere depending on the page you want it on.
Name the widget so you know which market it is for. For example, Canada - Homepage or U.S. - Product Pages.
Click Create.
Repeat this step for every market you want a different widget in.
Step 2: Add the right videos to each widget
In the widget editor, click Add media and choose the videos you want for that market.
Tag products in the videos if you want the widget to show on product pages.
Click Save in the widget editor.
Repeat for every market widget you created.
Step 3: Assign each widget to its market in the Shopify Theme Editor
Open the Shopify Theme Editor from your Shopify admin.
At the top of the theme editor, click the market selector and choose the market you want to edit. For example, select Canada.
Go to the page template where you want the widget, such as the Home page or Product page template.
Add a Moast widget block if it is not already there, or click the existing Moast widget block to open its settings.
In the widget block settings, choose the Moast widget you created for that market. For example, pick Canada - Homepage.
Click Save.
Switch to the next market using the market selector at the top of the theme editor.
Choose the widget you created for that market. For example, pick U.S. - Homepage.
Click Save.
Repeat for every market.
Why a product won't show in every market
The same product is a separate product in each market. A USA t-shirt and a Spain t-shirt look identical to you, but the widget treats them as two different products. If you only tag the U.S. version, the tagged product shows only in the U.S. market, and the other markets show nothing.
On each video, tag the product from every market you sell in. The widget then shows each visitor the version for their own market.
Here is an example. Video A has three products tagged to it, one from each market:
USA product
Canada product
Spain product
Only the Spain product shows on the Spain market. Each visitor sees only the version from their own market.
What happens next
When a shopper visits your store, Shopify sends them to the right market based on their location. The Moast widget you assigned to that market will load automatically. Each market sees only the videos you chose for it.
If you want product pages to automatically show the right videos for each product, you can use Smart Auto-Match inside a market widget instead of hand-picking videos. Learn how Smart Auto-Match works on product pages.
