Language

The language of your Shoppy app is automatically inherited from the primary language of your Shopify store.

Overview

The language of your Shoppy app is automatically determined by the primary language configured in your Shopify store. If you'd like to change the app’s language, you must first update the primary language in your Shopify settings.

How to Change Your Store’s Primary (Default) Language

  1. Log in to your Shopify Admin.

  2. Navigate to Settings > Languages.

  3. Under Published languages, click the (ellipsis) next to the current default language.

  4. Select Change default in the menu.

  5. Choose a new default language from the dropdown and click Save.

Once this change is saved, your app’s language will reflect the newly selected primary language.

Understanding the Default Language vs Market Language

  • The store’s default language affects your Shopify admin, theme, and checkout experience

  • Each market can have its own default language:

    • Go to Settings > Markets > [Select Market] > Languages and domains.

    • Here you can change the default language for that specific market
