Shopify by default does not display the country flags for their country/region selectors. It's a popular way to enhance your store and boost conversions when you sell internationally through Shopify markets.

3 reasons why:

• Increased Conversion Rates - The inclusion of flags in the country selector reduces friction and enhances the overall user experience. By facilitating quick and easy country selection, customers are more likely to complete their purchase without any hesitation or frustration. The improved usability leads to higher conversion rates, translating into increased sales and revenue for your business.
• Enhanced User Experience - Flags provide visual recognition that enables customers to quickly locate and select their desired country. By offering a more intuitive and user-friendly interface, customers can effortlessly navigate your selector, resulting in a smoother and more seamless shopping experience.
• Improved Usability & Efficiency - Flags eliminate the need for customers to search through lengthy country lists or rely solely on text-based options. This streamlines the selection process, saving time and effort for customers, ultimately increasing their satisfaction and reducing the likelihood of abandoning your site.
