Country selector from dropdown to popup

Topic summary

Goal: change the header’s country selector from a click-to-open dropdown to a centered popup, ideally without adding an app. Images of the current dropdown and the desired popup style are central to understanding the request.

Theme customization path (no app): Feasible as an advanced theme customization if the current selector UI (user interface) is part of the theme, not injected by an app, and the theme already includes a popup/modal system. Otherwise, the popup must be built from scratch. A Shopify Markets documentation link was provided for guidance on multiple currencies/languages.

App-based path: Multiple apps can provide a popup country selector. One vendor identified the referenced popup as coming from the Orbe app and shared a tutorial link; their team offers setup help on paid plans.

Status: No decision or implementation reported. Clear options exist—custom theme development versus installing an app—depending on the merchant’s preference for code customization vs. faster app setup.

I have the country selector in my website’s header. But instead of being a dropdown when clicked, I want it to be a popup in the middle of the screen. Attached are a picture of my current country selector and the desired style of popup I would like to achieve.

Is this doable without a separate app?

Hi @designedbymg you can do this as an advanced theme customization, contingent on :

  • the UI you have now is part of the theme.
  • whether or not your using an app for managing currencies and translations the main thing is that the UI your using is not injected as part of an app.
  • preferably the theme already has some sort of popup system

Otherwise it has to be made from scratch https://shopify.dev/docs/themes/markets/multiple-currencies-languages
