Shopify's app store has dozens of "currency converter" apps — most cost $5-30/month and lock you into the vendor's theme. If your store doesn't have huge volume, the math doesn't work.
This is the no-app version: ~50 lines of JavaScript pasted into your theme's theme.liquid, using ApogeoAPI for the live exchange rates. Works on any Shopify plan including Lite, costs $0 for stores under ~5K daily visitors.
How it works
- JavaScript runs on every page load.
- Fetches the visitor's country (cached at edge).
- Fetches the live USD->X exchange rate.
- Finds all elements marked with
data-shopify-priceand overlays the converted amount. - Original price (in shop currency) stays in the DOM but is visually replaced. Cart still uses the canonical Shopify currency for checkout.
This is display-only. Shopify still charges in your shop's base currency. Visitors see comfortable numbers; Shopify accounting stays clean.
