Don't let your delivery checkout become a barrier to conversion as you expand your Shopify store into new markets.
When customers reach your checkout, they expect their own language, their own currency, and a carrier they recognize. When those are missing, even a strong product can lose the sale at the final step.
With Shipmondo Delivery Checkout, fully compatible with Shopify Markets, you can create a localized checkout experience that matches your customers’ language, currency, and delivery expectations. Translated delivery methods, familiar carriers, and automated customs, all managed in one setup, so the checkout feels local in every market you sell to.
Here are four ways you can optimize your delivery checkout for international customers and take your Shopify store international.
1. Give your customers a local checkout experience
In every report about cultural understanding customers are far more likely to complete their purchase when the checkout feels familiar.
Make sure your delivery methods are displayed in your customers’ language (including all others texts in checkout) with preferred currency, and offer shipping options they recognize and trust.
Shipmondo Delivery Checkout supports 21 languages and multiple currencies, giving your customers a consistent checkout experience across all your Shopify Markets. Customers are shown the delivery methods available for their address. If a delivery rate is provided in your store’s currency, Shopify automatically converts it into the customer’s local currency. If the rate is already provided in the customer’s currency, it is displayed directly - creating a seamless and localized checkout experience.
You also need to consider whether your carrier setup matches the expectations of each market.
Carrier recognition matters just as much as language and currency. This is especially important when the carrier you ship with isn’t the one handling the final delivery abroad.
2. Highlight last-mile carrier in checkout for Shopify
Your international shipping agreement might be with PostNord, but that’s not necessarily the carrier delivering the parcel to your customer.
For example, a shipment sent with PostNord to Germany is often delivered by DPD as the last-mile carrier. While PostNord is a well-known brand in the Nordics, German customers are much more familiar with DPD. Showing only “PostNord” at checkout may leave customers wondering who will actually deliver their order, and then they might leave without buying.
With Shipmondo you can customize your delivery method text in the display templates to highlight the local last-mile carrier, creating a more familiar and trustworthy checkout experience for customers in each market.
3. Create flexible shipping price rules for every market
When expanding into new markets, your shipping strategy needs to evolve too. The cost of shipping internationally can vary significantly depending on destination, carrier, weight, and delivery method.
A one-size-fits-all shipping price rarely works. Instead you can create shipping price rules that match your business strategy and the actual cost of delivery for each market.
Differentiate by shipping product
You might already vary your pricing among shipping products like home delivery, pickup at service point, express and so on.
However, some carriers differentiate costs depending on the type of pickup location making it possible to set even more flexible prices. For example, deliveries to Parcel Lockers are often less expensive than deliveries to staffed Service Points, as they require fewer handling resources.
With Shipmondo Delivery Checkout, you can create delivery methods based on the shipping product, making it possible to display only Parcel Lockers, only Service Points, or both. And configure separate pricing for each product type.
This gives you greater flexibility to align your checkout with your pricing strategy and shipping costs.
Differentiate by order, weight or destination
With Shipmondo Delivery Checkout, you can tailor your shipping prices even further. Whether you want to keep it simple with a fixed rate or build more advanced pricing rules, you have the flexibility to do so.
For example, you can:
- Set a fixed shipping price for a simple and predictable checkout experience.
- Base shipping prices on the order value and offer free shipping above a certain amount to encourage higher average order values.
- Charge by weight or number of items, ensuring larger or heavier orders contribute to the increased shipping costs.
- Price by destination or zip code if your carrier uses delivery zones, allowing you to reflect the actual cost of shipping to different regions.
- Create market-specific pricing, so customers in each country see shipping rates that fit your local strategy and carrier agreements.
You can even combine multiple conditions in the same delivery method, for example, offering free shipping on orders above a certain amount while charging different rates based on weight for smaller orders.
That way you can balance competitive shipping rates with healthy profit margins.

4. Automate customs documentation for Shopify orders
Automating customs documentation is one of the biggest time-savers when shipping internationally.
When your Shopify products include the required customs data, Shipmondo automatically completes the electronic customs documents as you create export shipments. The required customs documents are generated automatically and printed when needed for non-paperless shipments, all as a seamless part of your shipping workflow.
That means your warehouse team doesn’t have to fill out customs documents manually, reducing errors and saving valuable time.
So your international orders can be managed in the same workflow as your domestic ones. One streamlined setup across carriers, countries, and stores helps you scale globally without adding operational complexity.
Specific for DDP orders in Shopify: Automatic HS code transfer
When Collect duties and import taxes at checkout is enabled in Shopify, Shopify automatically generates an HS code to calculate the duties and import taxes paid by the customer at checkout.
Shipmondo automatically transfers this HS code to the order, where it takes precedence over any HS code configured on the product.
