Common questions

How do I stop my online store from getting orders from countries I can't ship to?

Set your product discovery to your own country only. On Pludor, open Settings > Store Profile, find Product Visibility, choose 'Only shoppers in my country', confirm your Business Country is correct, and save. Your own store page stays visible to everyone either way.

What is product visibility global vs local on Pludor?

It's a setting that controls where your products appear in the Home Feed and Shop: Everywhere (Global) or only to shoppers in your country. It's aimed at local businesses and stores that only ship domestically. Your own store page is never affected by the setting.

How much does it cost to limit my products to my own country?

Nothing extra - Product Visibility is on for every Pludor store, including the Free plan ($0, no item limit). Pludor charges a platform fee of 4.99% + $0.90 per paid online order, and card processing is charged separately by Stripe. Cash sales recorded in POS carry no platform fee.

How do I turn on global visibility so international shoppers can find my products?

Open Settings > Store Profile, find Product Visibility, and choose 'Everywhere (Global)', then save. To verify it worked, browse the shop from another country and compare what you see. Pludor also has a free Shipping Cost & Free Shipping Calculator so you can price shipping to new places before selling further away.

Will hiding my products from other countries also hide my store page?

No. Product Visibility only affects discovery on the Home Feed and Shop - your own store page is never affected. Anyone with your store link can still see and buy from your storefront.

How do I check my Product Visibility setting is working?

After saving your choice in Settings > Store Profile, browse the Pludor shop from another country and compare what appears. If you set 'Only shoppers in my country', your products shouldn't show up there, but your store page should still load. Pludor's full step-by-step guide is at pludor.com/tutorials/product-visibility.

Do I need to pay for a plan to use Product Visibility on Pludor?

No - it's on for every store, including the Free plan with no item limit and no card required. Every feature is on for every store; each month a free amount of usage is included (for example 3,000 visits and 100 AI replies), and past that you pay only for what you use in credits. New stores also get 500 free credits.

How does Pludor compare to Shopify or Etsy for a small local business?

With Shopify or Wix you typically bring all the traffic yourself; on Etsy you compete in a crowded marketplace. On Pludor you get your own storefront plus a listing in the Pludor marketplace, with chat, AI receptionist, AI content, products, digital downloads and services all in one account. It also starts free with every feature on, rather than a trial period.

I only sell locally - should I set my products to local or global visibility?

If you only ship domestically, set 'Only shoppers in my country' so you don't get orders you can't fulfil. If you're open to shipping further away, first price it with a free shipping cost calculator (Pludor has one, no account needed), then switch to 'Everywhere (Global)'.

How do I set up a Pludor store in the first place?

Go to pludor.com/setup, pick a store name and business type, and sign up - no card needed on the Free plan. Then add your first product under Products, connect Stripe for payouts in Settings, and share your store link or product QR code. New orders show up in Orders, where you mark them packed, shipped or ready for pickup.
