As a Shopify agency, your clients trust you to recommend the best solutions. When it comes to internationalization, more agencies are choosing LocaleFlow - and here’s why.
The Agency Challenge
Your clients want to sell internationally. They need:
- Professional translations across their entire store
- Automatic sync when products change
- SEO-optimized multilingual content
- Minimal ongoing maintenance
You need:
- Reliable solution that doesn’t create support headaches
- Predictable client costs for easy quoting
- Time-efficient setup and management
- Revenue opportunity through referrals
Why LocaleFlow Works for Agencies
1. Set Up Once, Run Forever
LocaleFlow’s automatic sync means:
- New products are translated automatically
- Content updates trigger re-translation
- No monthly translation tasks for you or your client
This eliminates the ongoing “translation maintenance” service that creates overhead without profit.
2. Predictable Client Costs
Unlike apps that charge per word or auto-upgrade:
- Fixed monthly pricing
- No surprise charges
- Easy to include in client proposals
- No awkward “your bill tripled” conversations
3. Works with Complex Builds
Your clients aren’t using vanilla themes. LocaleFlow handles:
- Custom theme sections
- Metafield-heavy product pages
- Metaobjects for structured content
- Third-party app integrations
4. Native Shopify Markets Integration
If you’re setting up Shopify Markets for clients:
- LocaleFlow integrates seamlessly
- No duplicate functionality
- Currency, pricing, and translations work together
Built for Agencies
LocaleFlow is designed with agencies in mind. Set it up once, earn recurring commissions, and let auto-sync eliminate ongoing maintenance headaches.
