# Auto-Redirect
## 1. Enable Auto-Redirect
**Redirect visitors to relevant markets according to their country**
* When enabled, visitors are automatically redirected to the appropriate Shopify Market based on their **IP address**.
* The redirect also applies the **local currency and language** configured for that market.
**Use case:**\
Ideal for stores operating multiple regional markets with different languages or currencies.
## 2. Include or Exclude Countries for Auto-Redirection
You can control which countries should trigger auto-redirection.
#### Options
* **Include**\
Redirects will apply **only** to the countries listed.
* **Exclude**\
Redirects will apply to **all countries except** those listed.
#### Country Input Field
* Enter one or more country names.
* **If left empty,** auto-redirect applies to **all countries**.
## 3. Language-Based Redirection
Choose how the visitor's language is determined.
* **Always redirect to the market’s default language:**: Redirects to the market’s default language, regardless of browser settings.
* **Automatically switch the visitor’s language according to the browser’s preferred language**: Redirects based on the browser’s language preference and the visitor's location (for individual markets).
* If no matching Shopify market (locale) exists, redirection will not occur.
## **4. Redirect Behavior:**
Define when redirection occurs.
* **Redirect when necessary**: Redirects only if the visitor lands on an incorrect market (language/currency).
* **Force redirect every time**: Always redirects to the correct market, even if the visitor tries to switch markets.
* **Redirect once**: Redirects only on the first visit.
### **Filter By URLs**
Apply auto-redirects to specific URLs.
* **Include**: Trigger redirection only on the listed URLs.
* **Exclude**: Do not trigger redirection on the listed URLs.
### **Filter by Params:**
Apply auto-redirects based on URL parameters.
* **Include**: Trigger redirection only for the listed parameters.
* **Exclude**: Do not trigger redirection for the listed parameters.
### **Retain Behaviour:**
