To change your country in the Amazon Shopping app, open the account tab, tap the country flag, select Country/Region, choose your Amazon store, then tap Done. You can choose the available language and currency preferences before saving. This changes your shopping storefront; transferring your account country and changing your delivery address are separate tasks.

Change the shopping country in the app
Open Amazon Shopping and tap the person-shaped account icon at the bottom. Tap the country flag at the top right, then select Country/Region. Choose the Amazon store you want to browse.
Choose your language and currency from the available preferences, then tap Done. Use this path on iPhone, iPad, and Android app interfaces that display the country flag in the account tab.
Return to a previously visited country
If your app displays Previously visited, you can return to a saved country and language combination. Open the account tab and tap the country flag. Under Previously visited, select the country-and-language entry you want, then tap Done.
Transfer your account country through the app
To move the country associated with eligible digital purchases, open the user tab and select Account > Content and Devices > Preferences. Open Country/Region Settings, then select Change. Enter your new address details and select Update.
Review the account-specific transfer implications before completing Amazon's displayed transfer prompts. Amazon says your Prime and Amazon Music Unlimited subscriptions do not transfer, and your Kindle Unlimited subscription is canceled. Your gift-card and promotional balances stay in the original marketplace, so consider these effects before completing the move.
Use the German account transfer menus
In the German-language app layout, open the user tab and select Konto. Under account settings, select Geräte. Under Meine Geräte und Inhalte, select Einstellungen.
Open Länder/Regioneinstellungen and select Ändern. Enter the new details, then select Aktualisieren. Review any additional account-specific transfer prompts before completing the transfer.
Transfer your account country in a browser
To transfer an eligible account through a mobile or desktop browser, sign in to Amazon's content settings and select Preferences. Under Country Settings, select Change. Some regional interfaces call this section Country/Region Settings.
Select or enter an address in the new country, then select Update. Review the transfer implications and complete the displayed transfer option if your account is eligible.
Choose another shopping country in a browser
For shopping without an account transfer, open Amazon's country selection page. Under Website (Country/Region), open Select your preferred country/region website: and choose the country. Select Go to website to open that country's website in a new tab. On Amazon's US or UK website, you can also reach the selector by selecting the current country name in the footer when that control appears.
You can also open the desired regional marketplace directly in your mobile or desktop browser, such as Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.de, or Amazon.fr. Sign in where needed and shop on that website. To change the storefront inside Amazon Shopping, use the app's country selector.
Change the delivery country with an address
To change your shipping details, open Your Account > Your Addresses, which you can access through a phone browser. Select Add address and enter the new address, including its country and delivery preferences. Select Add address again to save it.
To make that address your default shipping destination, select Set as Default below it. For an address already saved to your account, select Edit, change its details, then select Update address. These controls change your shipping information, not your shopping marketplace or digital account country.
Get the shopping app before choosing a country
If you need Amazon Shopping on an iPhone or iPad, open its official US App Store product page and download the app. The listing requires iOS 16.0 or later on iPhone, or iPadOS 16.0 or later on iPad.
On Android, open the official Amazon Shopping listing from Amazon Mobile LLC on Google Play and select Install when offered for your compatible device. After opening the app, follow the country-selector or eligible account-transfer steps above to make the change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you transfer your Amazon account back to its previous country?
Yes, repeat the browser account-country transfer procedure using an active billing address in the previous country. Review the transfer implications again before completing the displayed prompts.
Can Amazon Japan or Amazon China accounts transfer to another country?
You cannot transfer an Amazon.co.jp or Amazon.cn account to another country or region. You can still choose another regional Amazon website for shopping, which is separate from transferring your account.
Will purchased or rented Prime Video titles move with an account transfer?
Your purchased or rented Prime Video titles do not transfer. Review the account-specific transfer implications before completing the move.
Does adding a new country address update existing orders or billing details?
Adding or editing a shipping address does not change your existing orders or automatically change your billing address. You need to manage those details separately from your saved shipping destination.
Will creating a separate Amazon account share purchases from your existing account?
Creating a separate account does not share purchases with your existing account. If you want to move eligible digital purchases, review the account-transfer option before creating another account.
