There is a US and canadian App store. How do you switch from one to the other?

In the bottom, right-hand corner of iTunes there's a flag in a circle (just like here in the Discussions) where you can switch between stores. What's the difference? The Canadian store prices are in Canadian dollars... Also, different content is available in stores from different countries.

You can switch by the aforementioned flag ... but it won't do you any good unless you have the facilities to use the chosen country. And that means a bank backed credit card from that country and a residential (billing) address to go with it.

It's all about the developer's right to control where his product is sold. Not unreasonable in my view.

We travel between 2 countries a lot and have developed 2 apple ID accounts, one in each country. Hence solved the above mentioned problems..

If a country has an iTunes/Mac App Store, it is only for those who actually reside in that country. Hence the United States store for Statesonians and the Canada store for Canadians. To shop in a country's store you need either iTunes Gift Cards from that country that you redeem in your account for credit or a bank card from a bank in that country with a local billing address. The thing to remember about the US store is that, unlike Canada and most of the world, the US does not have a countrywide Value Added Tax (VAT), so the prices in the US store do not reflect the local sales taxes which are applied in the final steps of the sale from the US store.

We travel between the two countries, and many of them have developed two Apple ID, accounts in each country. Therefore, to solve the above problem ..

Yes, I am well aware of that. I have an account in Mexico and I have an account in the US.

But you still have to qualify for the account. You can't expet to use a bank card from a US bank in the store for another country. You must have a bank card from a bank in that country. Or at least be able to get iTunes Gift Cards for that country.

I have a question. Let us say you play Clash Royale from an American store and you wanna change your Apple ID to a Canadian store, will it affect the game (Clash Royale)
