  A market is a group of one or more regions that you want to target for international sales. By creating a market, you can configure a distinct, localized shopping experience for customers from a specific area of the world. For example, you can [change currency](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/current/mutations/marketCurrencySettingsUpdate), [configure international pricing](https://shopify.dev/apps/internationalization/product-price-lists), or [add market-specific domains or subfolders](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/current/objects/MarketWebPresence).
