Shopify Multi-Currency: Local Prices, Rounding, Fixed Prices
Shopify multi-currency works through Markets: customers in each market see prices, pay at checkout and get refunds in their local currency, with prices converted automatically at the current exchange rate unless you set rates manually. You can then round converted prices, adjust them by a percentage per market, or set fixed prices by country or region. Only stores using Shopify Payments with one-page checkout can use all of these features.
Rules below come from the Shopify Help Center pages on local pricing, price rounding and Markets, read on October 23, 2026.
How Shopify shows local currencies
- Markets decide who sees what. A market is a set of customers, such as a country or a group of countries, with its own customizations: currency, catalog, prices, domain or subfolder, languages.
- Automatic conversion uses the current market exchange rate. You can set an exchange rate manually instead if you want stable prices.
- A country selector is required. If you sell in local currencies, your store needs a selector so customers can choose their country or region and see their currency.
- Payments. All local pricing features need Shopify Payments as the payment provider and access to one-page checkout. On other gateways, check the Help Center’s list of what is supported.
Set it up
- In the admin go to Markets and create a market for a country or a group of countries.
- Open the market’s Currency settings and choose the local currency.
- Decide on rounding and price adjustments (next section).
- Make sure your theme shows a country selector, in the header or footer.
- Test: preview the store as a customer in that market (the theme preview bar has a View as option for country and language), add a product, and go to checkout to see the currency end to end.
How domains and subfolders per market work, and what they mean for search, is covered in domains for several regions.
Choose a pricing approach
| Approach | What it does | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automatic conversion | Prices follow the exchange rate | Starting out; long catalogs | Odd endings like €23.47; prices move with the rate |
| Rounding | Rounds converted prices and shipping rates up to the usual ending for that currency | Clean prices without manual work | Rounding is fixed per currency; you cannot customize the rule. Not applied to gift cards |
| Percentage adjustment | Raises or lowers all prices in a market by a percentage | Covering higher shipping, duties or fees in one market | Applies to the whole market |
| Fixed prices by country or region | You set the exact price per product for a market | Best sellers and products where the price is part of the brand (“€49”) | Manual upkeep; prices no longer follow the rate |
To turn on rounding: Markets > choose the market > in the Currency selector click the currency > Price rounding > Round up to the nearest {value} > Done. You can preview converted prices and see a breakdown of how each product’s price is calculated for each market. Rounding needs Shopify Payments.
One workable mix: automatic conversion with rounding for the catalog, and fixed prices for your ten best sellers in your two biggest foreign markets.
What else changes per currency
- Shipping rates can be converted and rounded like product prices. Check free-shipping thresholds in each market so “free over $50” does not become “free over €46.37”.
- Discounts work in local currencies; fixed-amount discounts in particular need checking per market.
- Gift cards are handled separately and are not rounded.
- Refunds go back in the customer’s local currency.
- Fees. Currency conversion has costs; the Help Center lists the fees for selling in multiple currencies.
- Taxes and duties are set up under Settings > Taxes and duties; see international taxes.
For everything else involved in selling abroad, from checkout to customs, see international orders on Shopify, and the running a store hub for the rest.
Frequently asked questions
Can Shopify show prices in the customer’s local currency? Yes, with Markets. Customers in a market see prices, pay and receive refunds in their local currency, converted automatically at the current exchange rate unless you set rates manually. Your store needs a country selector for customers to pick their region.
Can I control how Shopify rounds converted prices? You can turn rounding on or off per market, which rounds prices up to the usual ending for each currency. You cannot customize the rounding rule itself. For exact prices, set fixed prices by country or region.
Do I need Shopify Payments to sell in multiple currencies? Shopify says only stores using Shopify Payments with access to one-page checkout can use all local pricing features, and rounding requires Shopify Payments. With other payment providers, some features are limited.
