Hi Andrew.
This solution won’t be a great shopping experience for customers especially if they see currency they’ve never heard of and will immediately abandon their cart.
I am in the same situation where Shopify Pay is not available in my country (South Africa), very annoying I might add, however, my payments provide does accept and is enabled for international payments and my company is eligible to accept Visa and Mastercard, yet I cannot display currency at checkout in a customer’s local territory. Basically, if I can’t change/add to the default Market in Shopify, which I can only do if I have Shopify Pay, which I cannot use in my country, irregardless of the fact that I have a payments provider that DOES accept international currency, I am now unable to trade properly.

This tells me Shopify (while allowing you to use your own payment providers and state that you can use Shopify internationally) is purposely preventing me from trading reasonably internationally.
-
The checkout is designed by Shopify to track the 2.0% fee on transactions and the only reason why there is a limitation on the checkout is due to Shopify Pay, in which my payments provider (also charging 2.0% btw) is not able to show customers currencies which they accept/support.
With that said, after all the development effort spent on my Shopify store, meetings and workshops with the biggest payment providers and merchant banks in South Africa, and the very nature of e-commerce (from anywhere, to anywhere) is severely limited by Shopify, I need to look elsewhere and suggest to all the good folk stuck in this dilemma just as Rekhaprasad is/was that they do the same.
TLDR; I am very disappointed.
