Hello, just a quick question.

I am selling in Sweden and therefore Swedish kronor is my currency. Currently the abbrevation for kronor on my website is “SEK”, but every Swedish store used “kr” instead. Is this possible to change from “SEK” to “kr” with some code?

Here is my website: Ekix & Co. – Ekix & Co. (e2e2d2-3.myshopify.com)
