Hi,

I’m looking to set up a new store in a different country but am running into issues because the POS will only display the price of cart items in the default store currency. I would like to avoid the additional admin and maintenance overhead of managing an extension store so am curious what my best alternative option might be? More specifically, can you tell me:

  • are there any plans to enhance the POS to support multiple currencies? If so, is there a timeline for when this feature might be available?
  • are there any POS apps available that can provide a workaround for this issue?
  • is it possible to have the card reader charge in a different currency from the one associated with the Shopify cart?
  • can you suggest any other possible solutions for this problem that don’t involve setting up expansion stores?

Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
