Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureWorks out of the box with any theme, and looks amazing! Add all the currencies with the push of a button. Convert prices instantly, on any device automatically or change them manually from the Currency Switcher. Since Shopify doesn't allow developers to convert prices on the Checkout page, we came up with a few ways to inform your customers of this.
Edge Currency helps merchants sell internationally by showing each shopper prices in their own currency. Conversions use real exchange rates that refresh daily, so displayed prices stay current. Currencies charged at checkout are clearly marked as exact, while others are labelled as estimates, so shoppers understand their local amount and trust the store.
