Enabling Additional Currencies
If your store serves international customers, you may want to enable additional currencies:- Navigate to the Currencies settings
- Add the currencies you want to support
- Configure the exchange rates if applicable
- Set display preferences for each currency
How Currencies Work with Zones
Each zone is assigned one currency. When a customer checks out from a zone, they see prices and pay in that zone’s currency. This means:- A product can have different prices in different currencies (e.g., $29.99 USD in the US zone, 27.99 EUR in the Europe zone)
- You set prices per currency on each product from the product edit page
- The zone determines which currency the customer sees at checkout
Shopper does not automatically convert prices between currencies. You set each price manually per currency. This gives you full control over pricing strategy in each market.
