In this document, you’ll get an overview of regions and learn about their importance in your commerce store.
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
Regions are essential to your commerce store. You use regions to specify available currencies, payment providers, fulfillment providers, tax rates, and more for different regions.
|
||
|
||
Regions represent different countries that your commerce store serves customers in. A region can have multiple countries with the same settings, but a region can also be specific to a single country with its own settings.

## Currencies in Regions
|
||
|
||
Each region uses one currency, and you can set prices across your store for each region.
|
||
|
||
For example, when you create a product variant, you set the price of that variant for each currency and region in your store.

## How Customers Use Regions
|
||
|
||
When a customer browses your storefront, they choose the region based on their location. Then, the prices, shipping providers, payment providers, and taxes available and applied are based on the chosen region.
|
||
|
||
For example, if you have Stripe enabled as a payment provider in a region created for the United States, but have it disabled in a region created for European countries, only customers in the United States region can use Stripe for payment on checkout.
