Hi @Lucia1912 ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community! I’m happy to provide some assistance with adjusting the shops currency. To ensure I’m fully understanding, are you looking to change the currency that products are priced in?

If so, I would recommend checking out our Selling And Getting Paid documentation for more information on how to make this adjustment. It’s also important to consider a few details prior to making this change, as it can have an impact on the shop. For ease, I’ve gone ahead and outlined the potential impact of this adjustment down below for you to consider:

  • Product Pricing: The dollar amount between currencies is not the same, thus a product price’s value could mean something different in the currency you’re looking to switch too. For example, $20 CAD, is not equal to $20 USD. Additionally, refunds processed after a currency change will also be affected by the currency change.
  • Gift Cards: All gift cards with remaining balances in the old selling currency will not work once the selling currency of the store has been changed.
  • Apps: Some apps may have limitations when it comes to changing selling currency. We always recommend reaching out to the app develops to ensure that this won’t affect them.
  • Shipping: All shipping rates will remain as the previous currency and will not update automatically. After a currency change, you will need to delete the old rates and add them back in manually to with the new currency.
  • Reporting: With changing between currencies, our reporting doesn’t factor in the difference between them.

Ultimately, you will need to Contact Support to have this completed if it’s decided to proceed and the shop has already made sales.

If however, you’re looking to change the currency in which you pay for your Shopify subscription, you can check out our Paying Shopify Bills In Your Local Currency documentation. Currently, any regions where local billing is supported will be issued in that currency instead of USD. For ease, here is a complete list of the countries and regions where local billing is supported.

Please let me know if you have any other concerns.
