How to configure and sync markets and languages in Plytix
Selling in more than one country or language? Shopify Markets makes it possible to manage catalogs, pricing, and translations for different regions—all from a single Shopify store.
In Plytix, you can fetch your markets and languages directly from Shopify, decide which products show up in each catalog, and map translations so your customers always get localized content.
In this article, you’ll learn how to bring catalogs and languages from Shopify into Plytix, enable or disable products in specific catalogs, and manage translations for your product content.

Syncing Catalogs and Languages
With Shopify Markets enabled in your account, you'll now see a new Markets tab in your Shopify channel. This tab allows you to sync your existing catalogs sent to various markets and languages directly from Shopify so you can manage updates in your Plytix account.
To sync the products catalogs and languages in your Shopify store, click “Sync catalogs and languages.”
In the “Markets” section, you’ll find all the catalogs available in your account. These catalogs are toggled off by default in your channel, even if they’re active in your Shopify store.
To add your Plytix products to your Shopify catalogs, toggle them on under the “Enable” option. The next time you process your channel, all products from your product list will be added to the catalogs that you’ve toggled on.
If you’ve added any new catalogs or languages to your Shopify store, you can click “Sync again” to have them added to your channel in Plytix.
ℹ️ Clicking “Sync again” will only fetch the catalogs and languages from your Shopify store. Your Plytix products will be added to those catalogs only when the catalogs you want to include products in are enabled in your channel, and your channel is processed again.
Excluding Products from Markets
To exclude specific products from a catalog, you can set a custom boolean attribute for each catalog. Simply map the attribute to the catalog and set it to “false” to prevent a product from being included.
💡 You can also use formula attributes to exclude products from catalogs. For example, using IF(EQ($ATT.COUNTRY, "Germany"), "false", "true") for a case where if the country is ‘Germany’, then the product is going to be excluded from the catalog. Learn more about formula attributes here.
Mapping Language Translations
Once you’ve fetched your Shopify languages into your Plytix channel, you’ll see them listed under the “Languages” section. To map translations for those languages, toggle on the option under “Translate.”
To map translations for your languages, expand them to view the available fields. Then, follow the same steps of mapping the Shopify fields with your Plytix attributes.
💡You can also use AI in Plytix to autogenerate those translations. Learn more about editing products with AI here.
This way, you can easily manage and sync translations for your products straight from Plytix.
ℹ️ When mapping an attribute (e.g., description) for specific languages, ensure the corresponding Shopify field in the default product mapping (in this case, the default description) is also mapped.
