Markets connects Cevoid to your ecommerce store and ensures your widgets display the right language, currency, and product information for each version of your website. This applies to both UGC widgets and your rewards program.
Navigate to Settings -> Products & Markets to configure your markets.
What is a market?
A market in Cevoid represents a localized version of your store - a unique combination of domain, language, and currency. If you sell to customers in different countries or regions, each localized storefront is a separate market.
For example, if you have:
cevoidsupply.com (English, USD)
cevoidsupply.com/fr (French, EUR)
cevoidsupply.de (German, EUR)
Each of these is a separate market in Cevoid.
Once your markets are set up, all Cevoid widgets automatically display the correct language, prices, and product links based on which market they’re shown in. The experience matches the rest of your website seamlessly.
How localization works
When a visitor views a Cevoid widget, we detect which market they’re on based on the URL. For stores without market-specific URLs, the market can be set programmatically or detected automatically through our Shopify integration. The widget then displays:
UGC widgets:
- All consumer-facing copy displayed in the market’s language
- Captions translated into the market’s language
- Product names from that market’s product catalog
- Prices in the correct currency with proper formatting
- Product links pointing to the correct localized product pages
- Accessibility text (alt text, video captions, video descriptions)
- Measurement profile properties displayed in the correct unit (metric or imperial)
Rewards program widgets:
- All consumer-facing copy displayed in the market’s language
- Points-per-currency rates adjusted for purchase incentives
- Discount code rewards presented and created in local currency
- Measurement profile properties collected in the correct unit (metric or imperial)
If a visitor is on a URL that doesn’t match any market, the default market is used as a fallback.
