Understand what this lesson solves

Basic full lesson

Put market scope, language, URLs, selectors, automatic redirects, hreflang, and target-address replay in one QA record before treating localization as ready for pricing and payment checks.

Start with the first new country, then connect language, pricing, fulfillment, acquisition, and review in one verifiable expansion process.

Lesson outline

  1. 1Freeze one market, SKU, language set, and target address
  2. 2Verify Market, language, and URL separately
  3. 3Replay automatic matching and manual choice
  4. 4Check hreflang as a page-group relationship
  5. 5Close the replay with product data and the target address

  • Confirm available languages and translations in Settings > Languages, then confirm language assignment and URLs in Markets > the relevant market > Languages and domains, and finally record the real storefront address.
  • Check first visit, remembered choice, old ads, VPN or traveller behavior, and the country-language selector. Automatic redirect can provide a starting point;
