# International commerce

Selling in multiple countries from one Medusa backend: regions, currencies, tax, and shipping per market.

## Entries

- [Multi-currency pricing via API](https://medusajs.com/kb/international-commerce/multi-currency-pricing-api.md): Medusa handles multi-currency pricing through its Pricing Module: each variant has a price set with one price per currency, plus optional prices scoped by region, customer group or quantity. The Store API returns a calculated price for the shopper's region and country, with and without tax. Medusa does not convert currencies automatically.
- [How to sell in multiple countries from one ecommerce backend](https://medusajs.com/kb/international-commerce/multi-region-ecommerce.md): Medusa sells in multiple countries from one backend without running separate stores. You create a region per market with its own currency, countries and payment providers, set prices per currency or region, configure tax regions with tax-inclusive pricing for the UK and EU, and limit shipping options to service zones. Duties and automatic currency conversion need custom integrations.
- [Tax-inclusive vs tax-exclusive pricing for US, UK and EU](https://medusajs.com/kb/international-commerce/tax-inclusive-pricing-international.md): US stores usually show prices before sales tax and add tax at checkout, while UK and EU consumer prices include VAT. In Medusa, you enable tax-inclusive pricing per region or per currency, set VAT and sales tax rates in tax regions, and use the Avalara tax provider or a custom one for address-level rates.
