Selectors (Language & Currency)

Currency Selector

Shopify now allows stores to allow customers to shop and check out in their local currency. This is a very positive thing because buyers are much more likely to have a good experience shopping in their own currency and finalize their purchase knowing that they will not incur any additional fees from their bank.

After enabling the currency selectors follow these steps (should be enabled on Header or in Topbar as per requirement)

• Set up your store’s Markets under Settings > Markets. This defines the regions that you sell to (you would have had to do this already to set up international shipping rates).

• Activate local currencies. Go to Settings > Markets > International (or other Market) > Make active.This will turn on the multi-currency shopping experience for the selected market. Ensure that your regions in payment settings match your shipping zones.

• Show the currency selector.

Language selector

After enabling the Language selectors follow these steps (should be enabled on header or in topbar as per requirement)

• Open Admin store settings > Languages > Install translate & adapt app ( Shopify Translate & Adapt).

• Click Add language > select language > add. Then publish the Selected language > Translate option in the selected language

• Click on the app which appears on the Translate button > click auto-translate.

• Wait for a few more minutes. Let the translation be completed.

• Check with the theme by switching to Another language.
