Currency Configuration •

The Free Shipping Bar lets you display your free shipping goals in the appropriate currency for your customers. This article explains how to configure currency formatting, set up currency conversion for multiple markets, and apply rounding options to converted amounts.

Setting the Free Shipping Bar Currency

The bar's currency can be set in 2 places:

Next to the goal amount:
In the Currency Configuration section:

Currency Formatting

Choose how the currency symbol and format are displayed to your customers.

Automatically format currency to the store's selected language

The currency symbol and formatting will automatically match the language set in your Shopify store. No additional configuration is needed.

Manually format currency

Choose your own currency symbol and symbol position.

Select Manually format currency
Enter your preferred symbol in the Currency symbol field (e.g. $)
Set the Currency symbol position — before or after the amount

Currency Display

Choose whether to always show amounts in your store's base currency, or convert them to match the currency your customer is shopping in.

Always display amounts in base currency

The Free Shipping Bar will always show the goal amount in your store's base currency, regardless of what currency the customer is viewing.

Convert currency to the store's selected currency

The bar will display the goal in the currency the customer is currently shopping in. This requires Shopify's native multi-currencies feature to be enabled in your store.

Note: When using currency conversion, the goal amount must be set in your store's base currency. When not using conversion and instead setting the currency explicitly, the goal is in whichever currency you have configured.

Rounding options for converted amounts

When conversion is active, the converted amount may not be a whole number. For example, a goal of $35 USD might convert to €32.36 in the European market. Use the rounding option to clean up the displayed amount.

Check Round goal up to round the converted goal up to the nearest whole number. For example, €100.01 becomes €101.

When to use currency conversion

If your free shipping goal is the same across all markets, currency conversion is the right tool.

However, if different regions have different goals, the better approach is to create separate bars and set each bar's currency explicitly. For example, if Canadian customers get free shipping over $45 CAD and US customers over $35 USD, create two bars and assign each the appropriate currency.
