Continuing from the previous article, we'll go ahead and explore the instance configuration and how each setting works.
Store Information
This section should already be completed as we added the store information in the previous article.

Locales (⭐️ Pro)
Locales localize your checkout in the customer's country. This also enables you to create custom pages for each locale in the Flowboard area.
By default, one locale will always be created based on your country.
Add a locale by clicking the Add Locale button. Choose the countries (multi-choice drop-down), the Locale, the currency type, and the URL slug of your store.
Example: for www.yourstore.com/jp, enter jp
After saving the new locale, click on the 3-dot menu and select Manage Language
Now you can set the translation for each line of text in your checkout theme.
Tip: We have a handy automatic translation feature to make this process faster!
Link with Default Locale
The design and layout will follow your default locale, with only the text changing. Uncheck this if you wish to make this local have an independent design from the default one.
If you have the Geolocation extension enabled, users will automatically be directed to the appropriate locale by their IP address.
