Maantiede
Wayfair is primarily a U.S. business, with U.S. net revenue representing the large majority of sales and international revenue coming from selected markets. Its international presence is centered on Wayfair.ca in Canada, Wayfair.co.uk in the United Kingdom, and Wayfair.ie in Ireland, while the company also operates physical retail stores in the United States. Geography matters because the business combines domestic fulfillment, cross-border e-commerce, and exposure to foreign currency, trade, and regulatory differences.
