The Problem with Currency Converter Apps
Currency converter apps on Shopify stores may seem like a good idea at first, promising to automatically switch the currency on the product page to the customer's local currency. However, there are a few key issues with these apps that can negatively impact your store's performance.
Limited Conversion on Checkout Page
One major drawback of currency converter apps is that they often fail to convert the currency on the checkout page, which is a crucial step in the buying process. Instead, these apps simply display a message saying that all orders will be processed in the default currency (e.g., USD). This lack of currency conversion on the checkout page can confuse customers and erode their trust in the store.
Negative Impact on Conversion Rates
Due to the limitations of currency converter apps, many Shopify store owners experience low conversion rates, a high number of abandoned carts, and ultimately, a decrease in sales. Customers may become confused or lose trust in the store when they don't see their local currency reflected on the checkout page. This can lead to missed sales opportunities and a negative impact on the overall performance of the store.
The Solution: Multi-Currency with Shopify Payments
To address the issues caused by currency converter apps, Shopify offers a more effective solution: Multi-Currency with Shopify Payments. By utilizing this feature, you can provide customers with a seamless shopping experience in their local currency, from product page to checkout.
Setting up Multi-Currency
Setting up Multi-Currency with Shopify Payments is simple. Within your Shopify settings, you can add the countries you wish to sell in and configure the appropriate settings for each country.
Adding Geolocation App
To enable currency selection for customers, you will need to install a geolocation app from the Shopify app store. This app will automatically detect the customer's location and display a currency selector in the footer or another location of your choice.
Currency Selector Integration
With the geolocation app installed and activated, customers will be able to change the currency displayed on the product pages. The prices will automatically convert based on the selected currency, ensuring a smooth and frictionless checkout process for your customers.
Alternatives for Shopify Payments Users
If you do not have access to Shopify Payments, there are alternative options you can consider to avoid the issues caused by currency converter apps.
Deleting Currency Converter App
One option is to delete the currency converter app altogether. Instead of attempting to convert prices, you can leave them as defaults (e.g., USD). While this approach may not provide the same level of convenience for international customers, it avoids potential confusion and trust issues caused by incomplete currency conversion.
Leaving Prices as Default
Another alternative is to leave your prices as the default currency (e.g., USD) without using a currency converter app. This eliminates any potential inconsistencies or technical limitations in the conversion process, ensuring a straightforward and transparent shopping experience for all customers.
Optimizing Product Pages for Higher Conversion Rates
