For instance, you might have different contact details for those who are in the UK to those in the US.<\/p>\n<p>Having a long list of content that\u2019s applicable to everyone is messy. And it isn\u2019t always good for the customer journey. You might also want to show customers specific content based on the shipping method\/whether they\u2019re collecting the item in the store.<\/p>\n<p>So, here is a set of step-by-step instructions to help you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"key-takeaways\"><div class=\"takeaways-title h2\">Key Takeaways<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">1<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Login to Shopify and navigate to \u2018Settings\u2019 then \u2018Checkout\u2019 for location-based content settings.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">2<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">In \u2018Order Processing\u2019, use \u2018Additional Scripts\u2019 to insert custom code for specific locations.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">3<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Customize the script for different states or countries, ensuring correct abbreviations, and save to apply changes.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"row1\">Step 1 - Login<\/h2>\n<p>Login to your Shopify website using your user credentials.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row2\">Step 2 - Checkout<\/h2>\n<p>From within the admin page on Shopify, click on \u2018Settings\u2019, which is at the bottom of the admin page as you log in. There is then an option labeled \u2018Checkout\u2019.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row3\">Step 3 - Additional Scripts<\/h2>\n<p>In the \u2018Order processing\u2019 section, there are four different sections. Find the \u2018Additional\u2019 scripts option, which is last on the list, and then select it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row4\">Step 4 - Showing The Message To Some In A Specific Country<\/h2>\n<p>Then you need to copy the code below and paste it into the text box within the \u2018Additional Scripts\u2019.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">{% if checkout.shipping_address.country_code == 'US' and checkout.shipping_address.province_code == 'NY' %}\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  var customMessage = document.createElement(\"div\");\r\n  customMessage.innerHTML = '<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"section\" style=\"padding-top: 3em\"><p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"content-box\"><p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"content-box__row\"><p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"os-step__description\">ADD YOUR MESSAGE HERE.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>';\r\n  console.log(document.querySelector(\"[data-order-summary-section=payment-lines]\"));\r\n  document.querySelector(\"[data-order-summary-section=payment-lines]\").before(customMessage);\r\n<\/script>\r\n{% endif %}<\/pre>\n<p>This message will display those in the United States and New York. You can then make the changes. Be sure that you\u2019re using abbreviations. You can get the postal abbreviation of any US state using the list provided by UPS.<\/p>\n<p>To add more than one state or area to your custom code, you can add the following code:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">and checkout.shipping_address.province_code == 'XX'<\/pre>\n<p>Where XX is the abbreviation for the state. Remember to check the abbreviation is correct. You can also change the country. And to not specify a specific state, you can do so by removing that part of the code.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row5\">Step 5 - Save<\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019ve made the changes that you want to make, click on the \u2018Save\u2019 button. This should now show your message based on the location of the customer.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row6\">Step 6 - Test<\/h2>\n<p>Be sure to test your new code on the website. There are numerous errors that can be accidentally made when entering the code. You might need to use a VPN to show the messages for different countries\/states.<\/p>\n<p>You can test your new code by placing a test order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you sell to different areas of the world, or even a country, you might need to show different content.

While the example above is using the US and New York, these locations can be changed to wherever you would like them to be. Additionally, you can customize the content displayed based on particular product orders or customer segments, enabling targeted messaging and offers. There are lots more <a href=\"https:\/\/shopthemedetector.com\/blog\/shopify-customers-and-orders-set-up\/\">customer set ups<\/a> and apps that you can use to customize content.\r\n\r\nThis location-based content personalization allows you to put out relevant warnings to customers in areas where there might be delays in deliveries due to natural disasters or certain processes outside your control. It might also be a good way to upsell or cross-sell products or services tailored to specific regions or customer preferences.\r\n\r\nMoreover, this approach can be leveraged for publishing pages in bulk, streamlining the process of creating and managing location-specific content at scale. This can be particularly useful for businesses with a large geographic footprint or diverse product offerings.\r\n\r\nFor advanced customizations and more complex location-based content strategies, exploring Shopify's advanced customization options or third-party apps might be beneficial. These solutions can enable more granular targeting, dynamic content updates, and seamless integration with your existing systems.\r\n\r\nIf you need more help customizing your checkout or implementing location-based content strategies, you can look at this app here.","repeater":null,"filter":false,"attach_to_post":[1924],"author_bio":false,"custom_author_bio":false,"author_bio_name":"","author_bio_info":"","_meta_excerpt_title":"","meta_excerpt":"","trust_signals":{"expert_reviewed":true,"items_tested":""},"key_statistics":null,"key_takeaways":{"takeaways_items":null},"required_subtopics":null,"context_block":{"context_heading":"","context_excerpt":"","context_content":""},"methodology":{"methodology_heading":"","methodology_content":""},"comparison_table":"","mid_content_cta":{"cta_text":"","cta_button_text":"","cta_link":""}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How To Show Content Based on Location on Shopify 2026<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover how to show content based on customer\u2019s locations on Shopify.
