Hi,

Hope this will help

  • Update currency format inside your theme
  • Search for file where prices are rendered (something like product-price.liquid, price.liquid, or inside the snippets folder)
{{ cart.currency.symbol }}
or
{{ amount | money }}

Replace symbol manually with your custom one. For example :

{{ "ⵔ" }}{{ amount | money_without_currency }}

If you’re using a custom icon then upload the PNG in Settings > Files > Copy the file URL

Replace symbol with an inline image in the price template, something like:

<img src="{{ 'your-dirham-icon.png' | file_url }}" style="height:12px;vertical-align:middle;"> {{ amount | money_without_currency }}
  • Don’t forget to test across the store

Hi @alitahlak

The AED symbol to appear as the new UAE currency format (for example: AED, د.إ, or DH):

Steps:

  1. Go to Shopify Admin → Settings → Markets

  2. Click on United Arab Emirates

  3. Open Currency and pricing

  4. Click Change formatting

  5. Update the format, for example:

Examples:

  • AED {{amount}}

  • د.إ {{amount}}

  • {{amount}} د.إ

Save the changes.
