Case study · Multi-market
Thinkware Store — Canada.
A second storefront for the Canadian market, running alongside the US operation. The hard part is not launching a site; it is keeping two catalogues, currencies, and checkout paths consistent afterward.

Context
Canadian buyers need local pricing, shipping, and compliance. The catalogue overlaps with the US but is not identical: bundles differ, availability differs, and product copy needs local spelling and units.
Two storefronts drift quickly. Prices diverge, a product disappears from one side, and support cannot tell which market a customer is in.
The brief
- Run the Canadian storefront on the same data contract as the US.
- Keep regional pricing, tax, and shipping correct at checkout.
- Maintain catalogue parity where it matters and document where it does not.
- Support both markets without duplicating the operating work.
What I did
Data contract
One product model with market-specific fields, not two copies.
Regional pricing
Currency, tax, and shipping rules checked at checkout.
Catalog parity
Diff checks for missing SKUs, stale copy, and bundle mismatches.
Platform support
Releases, integrations, and fixes across both storefronts.
What shipped
- A Canadian storefront sharing structure with the US catalogue.
- Market-specific pricing, tax, and checkout configuration.
- Catalogue checks that catch drift between the two markets.
- One operating standard across both storefronts.
Consistency across markets is the prerequisite for automation. Triage and enrichment need one product truth, not two.
Next
The same foundation supports catalogue enrichment for Canadian English and support triage across both markets.
