How do I split my store for UK + EU post-Brexit?
Three patterns, depending on volume:
- Single-store, geo-priced, one storefront with VAT calculated by destination. Cheapest. Good for small UK-first stores selling occasionally to EU.
- Two storefronts, shared catalogue,
storefor UK (GBP, UK VAT, Royal Mail) andstorefor EU (EUR, IOSS, DHL Europe). One Magento backend, one PIM, separate checkouts. Most popular pattern. - Two websites, two backends, legally separate UK Ltd + EU GmbH/BV. Best for £5M+ stores with EU fulfilment hub (Netherlands / Ireland). Magento
website-level split.
We architect, build, and migrate live data, including reroute + 301 from old single-store URLs.
