Related Currency Issue:
When the selector is enabled, changing countries doesn’t update currency. This requires:
Enabling Shopify Payments and configuring markets in admin panel, OR
Installing a third-party currency converter app (recommended: Currency Converter app)
Mobile-Specific Concerns:
Some users report the selector still appears on mobile view despite applying fixes. For the Sense theme, targeting .div.locale-selectors__container { display:none !important } in base.css was reported as effective.
The discussion remains partially open with ongoing troubleshooting for mobile display issues.

even after uninstallation of the geolocation Shopify app, the country/region selector is still present in the footer of my website. Why does this occur? and what causes this?
Hi @justauser ,
In order to disable the country region selector just go to online store and open customize settings and select footer.
From there look for Show country/region checkbox as shown in image and just uncheck that checkbox and save
oh sorry for that issue, this come up to theme footer section can you please open theme customization footer section ust disable or add this code code if you need code
Go to Online Store->Theme->Edit code
Asset->/base.css ->paste below code at the bottom of the file.
@kaalTechGeeks Thank you. it worked. but one issue I am facing is when the country selector is enabled and if the user is to select a change to a different country, the currencies are not changing! everything stays in USD. Any idea why?
Hi @justauser , yes I know that in the country selector when you change the country the currency does not change it maybe because that you have not added currencies from the market section of the admin panel. And the values are directly picked from the countries you have selected along with the currency you have choose to be used on your store for different regions.
Thanks
@justauser ,
You can go with a currency converter app such as the one I am attaching the link below: https://apps.shopify.com/currency-converter-11
I have personally used this app for most of my client and it is the best free app I would recommend for currency conversion.
Thanks
Hello Justauser, maybe you can give me a little help.
