Moving Geolocator Currency Changer from Footer to Header

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

Main issue: The site’s header currency selector doesn’t change prices, while the Geolocator app’s footer selector does. The goal is to have the working selector in the header and to display prices with currency codes (e.g., “USD $39.00”), including on product and checkout pages.

Key context: Geolocator app provides a functional currency switcher in the footer. A previous developer added a nonfunctional header selector. The request includes moving the working selector or fixing the header version, plus showing currency codes with prices.

Update: The original poster reports a partial solution (“kinda”) after using Shopify’s documentation on multiple currencies/languages and snippets from “The country selector” section to modify the existing header selector.

Outcome and status: No confirmation that the header selector now fully updates prices across pages or that currency codes are displayed. No detailed steps or code shared. The thread remains open/unspecified on full resolution.

Notable resource: Shopify doc on internationalization and implementing a country selector (linked by the OP).

Hello,

I am helping a client on this website https://knottybyn.com/ to add multi-currencies that will show on pages where products are listed as well as the checkout page.

I have enabled the Geolocator app and added the countries which they wish to have. A previous developer worked on the site and I believe they added a currency selector in the header which you can see by going to the site. This currently does not change any of the prices when a currency is selected from the drop down.

However, the currency selector added to the footer by the Geolocator app does work and changes the prices accordingly. Is there a way to move this currency selector to the header or to make the current selector in the header work?

Also would it be possible to have the prices show the currency like “USD $39.00” right now it just shows the price without any currency code.

Have you solved this problem now?

Hello @lucas05021 ,

I kinda did I believe, this is the Shopify doc that helped me https://shopify.dev/themes/internationalization/multiple-currencies-languages?shpxid=ca8f8e3b-B91C-4AC0-6BD1-CF67260B21F4

I honestly don’t know much about coding, but I just started playing around with a currency selector that was previously put in by a different developer on the website. I used snippets from the section “The country selector” of that link above.
