What changed

Starting October 31, 2025, Shopify enhances Draft Order checkouts to allow product prices to adjust based on the customer's updated shipping address, reflecting your configured Market-specific pricing. If desired, merchants can lock prices to maintain original pricing prior to finalizing the checkout.

This change provides Shopify Plus merchants with a robust way to offer competitive market-specific pricing. It ensures price localization, maximizing sales opportunities and compliance with regional pricing strategies.

Role-specific impact

• Marketers: Can better target pricing strategies to meet market demand.

• Store admins: Gain control over pricing adjustments, maintaining price integrity when locking is necessary.
