Currency
In this section, you can customize the “Store's currency” option.
Theme settings -> Currency
Currency options
You can choose one of the proposed currency options for your store:
1. Client's currency
“Client´s currency”. The customer can choose a currency from a currency dropdown menu in the header and pay with this currency at checkout.
Example: The customer is checking your store page in Germany and realizing, that all prices are shown in British Pounds and not in Euros. So, a customer clicks on the currency dropdown menu in the header and changes the currency from British Pounds to Euros. As a result, all prices are shown in Euros, and at the checkout, the client pays in the suitable for them currency, which is Euro in this example.
Now if you want to add some extra currencies to your store, which should be shown in a currency dropdown menu, please follow these steps:
Go to your Shopify Admin and click on Settings
Then click on Payments and find Payment methods and click on Manage
In the section Enabled currencies, you can decide which currencies will be supported by your store and shown in the currency dropdown menu. Just click on Add currency and choose the needed ones from the list.
Save changes.
By default, the theme shows currencies configured at Shopify Payments. If you want to show currencies that are not supported by Shopify Payments - enable the info currency conversion below.
2. Store's currency
WARNING! If previously your store was using the first currency option (“Client's currency”) and now you decided to change to the second currency option (“Store's currency”) you need to remove all your additional currencies from the section “Payment providers” in your Shopify Admin and only after that, you can start with the second currency option (“Store's currency”) which is described below!
“Store´s currency”. The customer can choose a currency from a currency dropdown menu to see prices on the store page in the particular currency, but at the checkout, the price will be shown in the store´s default currency and the client will also pay in the store's default currency.
Example: The customer is checking your store page in the USA and realizes, that all prices are shown in Euro and not in US dollars. So, a customer clicks on the currency dropdown menu in the header and changes the currency from Euro to US dollars. As a result, all prices are shown in US dollars but at the checkout, the client sees the prices in the store's default currency and has to pay for his order in the store's default currency, which is Euro in this example.
If you want to use the second currency option (“Store's currency”), please follow these steps:
In your Shella Admin go to Theme Settings -> Currency
In the subsection, Info currency click on Enable legacy method of the currency conversion
Go to your Shopify Admin and click on Settings -> Store details
In the section Store currency choose the needed currency (e.g.: US Dollar (USD)) and click on Change formatting
In the field HTML with currency write: ${{amount}} USD In the field HTML without currency write: ${{amount}}
Save changes.
Example for USD:
HTML with currency
HTML without currency
Email with currency
Email without currency
Once you are done with the settings for the second currency option (“Store's currency”) you can start formatting the currency.
