- Short answer
- If a Region market lets you create submarkets, your store is on the new version of Shopify Markets.
- Version label
- No label or banner named in help read September 23, 2026; on Plus, feature test drive can activate new Markets.
- Where to test
- Markets > Create market, then a condition inside an existing multi-country market, such as France within Europe.
- Basic, Grow, Advanced
- B2B catalog features there require new Shopify Markets, so catalogs that already work mean you’re on it.
- If a multi-country test fails
- Shopify said in June 2025 it would notify ineligible merchants in the admin of apps blocking access.
- Migration status
- Developer-forum staff, May 7, 2026: “most have completed their migrations” — addressed to app developers, and most, not all.
Where does Shopify show your Markets version?
No Shopify help page we read on September 23, 2026 names a label or banner showing your store's version. On Plus, Shopify's B2B help says you can “activate the new Markets functionality by using feature test drive” (under Settings > Organization).
Shopify's changelog ties a feature to the new version:
Now available in the new version of Markets, quickly create submarkets from an existing Region market, for example, customizing your Europe market to better suit your French buyers.
Shopify's submarket steps start at Markets > Create market: under Includes, add a condition inside an existing market — France within Europe, for example. Choose Draft to preview it before it shows on your store.
If you can create that submarket, your store is on the new version. With only single-country Region markets, a Region submarket would be a state or province — early access, per Shopify — so failing proves nothing.
On Basic and above, if a discount's eligibility lets you pick a Region market, you're on the new version, per Shopify's changelog.
Do B2B catalogs on Basic, Grow or Advanced need new Markets?
Yes. Shopify's B2B plan-features page says: “To use B2B catalog features on the Basic, Grow, or Advanced plans, your store must be using new Shopify Markets.”
So if B2B catalogs already work on one of those plans, you are on new Shopify Markets — but no catalogs yet proves nothing; run the tests above.
What if your store is not on new Shopify Markets yet?
Shopify's developer-forum announcement thread said only apps using the Markets or Catalogs APIs from version 2025-04 would work with new Markets. In a June 18, 2025 update, Shopify said ineligible merchants would be notified in the admin of any apps preventing access. If a submarket test fails in a multi-country Region market, look for that notice.
In the announcement thread, Shopify staff wrote on May 7, 2026 that “most have completed their migrations” — addressed to app developers, and most, not all.
On Basic, Grow or Advanced, don't build wholesale pricing on B2B catalogs until one of the checks above passes; then see what those three plans price natively.
