Switching Store from USA to CDN subscription

My store is up for renewal Feb 1 2025.  I need to switch my store from USA to CDN.  Why?  Because I am paying $21.95 USD but when I get final charges with currency conversion it works out to $35.82 CDN.  My question is will I lose all of my listings and have to start all over?  All my current listings are in CDN dollars not USA.

Yes, you need to relist all your listings - one by one. There is no way to transfer listings from US to CA store.  


That would not be an issue for the OP, all of their recent listings were done on .ca not .com

 

I'm pretty sure that the OP at some point subscribed to a Store on .com and that is why they are paying a US Dollar subscription fee instead of CAD (which means they are paying almost 40% more for the Store.

Your listings will not be affected in any way, when you close the US Store your listings will remain active, when you subscribe to a .ca Store all your active listings will appear there (it doesn't matter which site they are listing on).

 

Be aware you may not be able to use the same Store name (if different than your regular user id) unless you wait 30 days from closing the .com Store
