## Fields

* [Market.type](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Market#field-Market.fields.type)

  OBJECT

  A merchant-defined group of buyers identified by conditions such as their region, retail location, or company location. Each market allows configuration of a distinct, localized buyer experience. Customizations include, but are not limited to, [currency](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/current/mutations/marketCurrencySettingsUpdate), [pricing and product availability](https://shopify.dev/apps/internationalization/product-price-lists), [web presence](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/current/objects/MarketWebPresence), and content translations.

* [Market​Catalog.markets(type)](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/MarketCatalog#field-MarketCatalog.fields.markets.arguments.type)

  ARGUMENT

  A catalog for managing product availability and pricing for specific [`Market`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Market) contexts. Each catalog links to one or more markets. The catalog can optionally include a [`Publication`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Publication) to control which [`Product`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Product) objects customers see, and a [`PriceList`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/PriceList) for market-specific pricing adjustments. When a publication isn't associated with the catalog, product availability is determined by the sales channel.

  Use catalogs to create distinct shopping experiences for different geographic regions or customer segments.
