Locale & currency

Topic summary

Issue: A Sweden-based merchant wants an English storefront that automatically shows prices in each visitor’s local currency (based on cookies), instead of defaulting to USD with a manual dropdown.

Guidance: Responders point to Shopify’s official “set up local currencies” documentation, indicating you can display prices in customers’ national currencies (EUR, GBP, INR, etc.) when configured properly.

Consideration: A linked community thread implies this capability relies on Shopify Payments availability by country; if Shopify Payments isn’t supported (e.g., Norway in certain contexts), automatic local currency may not be available.

Outcome: No step-by-step details were provided in the thread itself; the actionable next step is to follow the Shopify help guide. The original poster hasn’t confirmed resolution, so the status remains open.

I am based in Sweden and want my shop to be in English with prices shown in user’s currency dependent on cookies.

Right now the only solution I found was setting all prices in USD by default and having a dropdown to select different currencies.

Any way to solve this for a more international presentation?
