How to decide whether it is working

Check that the app still works after changes to your theme, checkout or connected tools. Review the result you installed it for, alongside its cost.

  • Market-selection completion rate
  • Wrong-market support contacts
  • Conversion by routed market
  • Campaign attribution retained

Keep it if it solves a real problem. Simplify or remove it if the extra cost and work are not worthwhile.

Things to check before installing

  • You sell from one market with no meaningful regional difference
  • Redirect policy should respect customer choice and search-engine access.
  • Multi-store plans and unlimited redirects use paid tiers.
More limitations and common mistakes
  • The app cannot fix incomplete Shopify Markets, catalogue or fulfilment configuration.
  • Installing Orbe Geolocation without recording a baseline for market-selection completion rate.
  • Switching on every available feature before the core journey has been tested.
  • Treating app-reported revenue or activity as incremental without a controlled comparison.

Common questions

Is Orbe Geolocation the right choice for every Shopify store?

No. It is strongest when you operate several shopify markets or expansion stores. Stores that you sell from one market with no meaningful regional difference should compare the alternatives before installing.

How should I test Orbe Geolocation?

Record the relevant baseline, launch the smallest useful configuration, check the complete customer journey and compare the agreed metric after enough traffic or orders have accumulated.

How much work does Orbe Geolocation take to set up?

Light setup is the current planning guide. Before installing it, confirm correct shopify markets setup, country product and fulfilment rules, translated market copy, then test the complete customer and operational journey.

What should I measure after launching Orbe Geolocation?

Start with market-selection completion rate, wrong-market support contacts, conversion by routed market. Compare those measures with the pre-launch baseline and include app cost and operating time.
