Multi-Currency
All Versions
Advanced Liquid knowledge required
30 Minutes+

Warning!

Any other currency conversion apps or software should be disabled on your site before using Multi-Currency. Using two conversion apps at the same time can cause conflicts with how the currency displays on the site.

Before you begin, please review Notes Before Installing Apps. This article will help get you prepared and answers many common questions.

Note: This article requires technical knowledge and prior experience with liquid code. If you are not comfortable with this, please complete Step 1 of this guide, then visit Request a Multi-Currency Installation for additional assistance.

Select each step below to view the instructions.

Step 1: Edit Shopify Currency Settings

From Shopify's admin, select Settings.
Select General.
Under "Store currency", select Change formatting.
Replace the HTML with currency code with:

Note: The currency symbol and abbreviation should match your store's currency. If you're using the Japanese Yen as your default currency, please use {{amount_no_decimals}} for your currency formatting.
```
<span class=money>${{amount}} USD</span>
```
Replace the HTML without currency code with:

Note: The currency symbol should match your store's currency.
```
<span class=money>${{amount}}</span>
```
Select Save.

Step 2: Add Bold-Common Snippet

Duplicate themes, to create a backup copy.
From Shopify's admin, select Online Store.
Select Actions.
Select Edit code.
Under "Snippets", find bold-common.liquid.
If it doesn't exist, select Add a new snippet.
Enter the correct snippet name.
Select Create snippet.
Copy and paste the bold-common.liquid code.

bold-common.liquid

Copy and paste the code below in the bold-common.liquid file.
Select Save.

Step 3: Verify Assets and Snippets

To add the liquid files to your current theme, please follow these steps:

From Shopify's admin, select Online Store.
Select Actions.
Select Edit code.
Under "Assets", find these files:
- flags.min.css
- bold-currency-picker.css
- bold-currency-bootstrap.js
For any that don't exist:
1. Select Add a new asset.
2. Select Create a blank file.
3. Enter the correct asset name in the "Create a blank file called" field.
4. Select the correct extension (i.e. css or js).
5. Select Add asset.
6. Copy and paste the code found in each of these links into their respective files:
7. Select Save.
8. Repeat Steps 5.1 - 5.7 for each missing snippet file.
Under "Snippets", find these files:
- bold-currency-converter.liquid
- bold-currency-picker-mount.liquid
- bold-currency-templates.liquid
For any that don't exist:
1. select Add a new snippet.
2. Enter the correct snippet name in the "Create a new snippet called" field.
3. Select Create snippet.
4. Copy and paste the code found in each of these links into their respective files:
5. Select Save.
6. Repeat Steps 7.1 - 7.5 for each missing snippet file.

Step 4: Edit theme.liquid

From Shopify's admin, select Online Store.
Select Actions.
Select Edit code.
Under "Layout", select theme.liquid.
Copy and paste this code directly above the </head> tag.
```
{%- include 'bold-common' -%}
```
Copy and paste this code directly above the </body> tag.
```
{%- include 'bold-currency-converter' -%}
```
Copy and paste this code where you would like the currency picker widget to appear (optional):

Note: The purpose of this code is to add the currency picker in more that one location (i.e. header, footer, etc.). If you don't complete this step, Multi-Currency will automatically add one for you which will appear at the bottom center of the viewport. If you do complete this step, the app will not automatically add one. openDirection: 'up' causes the picker to open upwards, this can be changed to down if you prefer.
```
{%- include 'bold-currency-picker-mount', openDirection: 'up' -%}
```
Select Save.

Step 5: Edit cart.liquid

From Shopify's admin, select Online Store.
Select Actions.
Select Edit code.
Under "Templates", select cart.liquid.
Note: This may be located under "Sections" in the cart-template.liquid file.
Find a line of code similar to:
```
{{ item.price | money }}
```
On newer themes, it may be:
```
{{ item.final_price | money }}
```
Note: This code may be referenced differently depending on the theme you are using. In some themes, this code may not exist at all. If it is contained within your theme, the code will include a reference to "price".

Copy and paste the following snippet of code above this line:

<span class="Bold-theme-hook-DO-NOT-DELETE bold_cart_item_price" style="display:none !important;"></span>

Copy/Paste Bold Code

Find a line of code similar to:

{{ item.line_price | money }}

On newer themes, it may be:

{{ item.final_line_price | money }}

Copy and paste the following snippet of code above this line:

<span class="Bold-theme-hook-DO-NOT-DELETE bold_cart_item_total" style="display:none !important;"></span>

Copy/Paste Bold Code

Find a line of code similar to:
```
{{ cart.total_price | money }}
```

Copy and paste the following snippet of code above this line:

<span class="Bold-theme-hook-DO-NOT-DELETE bold_cart_total" style="display:none !important;"></span>

Copy/Paste Bold Code

Select Save.

That's it!

Hey Sha!

Thanks so much for reaching out :) It's possible that your cart.liquid file is using a slightly different variation of this code. I've gone ahead and created a ticket, on your behalf, with our Merchant Success team and they'll be more than happy to help you with this!

Please just let us know through our email thread what your .myshopify URL is and if we have access to your Shopify admin.

Hey Lucas!

Thanks so much for reaching out :) If you're looking to put the currency picker underneath the cart icon near the top of your site, it should go below a piece of code generally called the "nav-header" or "nav".

Hey Brendin!

I would like prices to appear in the shopify store like this: £95.00 (£ amount nocurrency) but I couldn't figure out how yet. It's £95.00 GBP in the case of money or money_with_currency and 95.00 if I set money_without_currency in product_block/grid/list_item.liquid. (here:{% assign price = product.price | money %}{{ price }})

At Settings/General/Store currency I deleted GBP from everywhere, hoped it may helps, but not. The current parameters are these:
HTML with currency: £{{amount}}
HTML without currency: £{{amount}}
Email with currency: £{{amount}}
Email without currency: £{{amount}}

In bold-common.liquid - money_format: {{ shop.money_format | json }} is set, it also supports the format I wish.

Can you please help me, what to change in order to show prices in the £amount format?

Thanks in advance,
Dorka

I followed all the steps but it's not working. I don't know where I went wrong.
My guess if that I placed some of the copied links in the wrong spots. What do I do?

Hey Beaudine!

Thanks so much for reaching out :) You're correct in that there may be some additional places the code has to go, or potentially some slight adjustments to where you have already placed it.

Just have it in the option cart.liquid:

{% comment %}
The contents of the cart.liquid template can be found in /sections/cart-template.liquid
{% endcomment %}

What should I do?
