Multiple Currency And Language Display Setting | Advanced Design Settings

You can enable the multi-currency display feature to allow customers to reference the prices of products in their local currency, providing a better shopping experience. If you prefer to operate the store in a single language, you can also hide the store language options.

⚠️ Before you start, please be reminded that: For merchants using theme templates that support the new page builder (i.e. Ultra Chic, Kingsman, Varm, and Philia) and would like to adjust the currency display or hide the language selector, please refer to Announcement Bar / Header Settings | Page Builder (New) and Footer Setting | SHOP Builder for further details.

This article will cover the following:

• Multiple currency display setting
• Customer-selected currency display introduction
• Hide the language selector at the storefront
• Hide specific language
• Delete the language from the storefront

 

1. Multiple currency display setting

Step 1

In the SHOPLINE Admin, go to [Online Store Design] > [Design] and click the "Advanced Settings" tab.

 

Step 2

Check the box for "Allow Customers to select the displayed currency". Then, scroll to the end of the page and click Save and Publish.

*Note: The changes will only be displayed to the storefront once published.

 

Step 3

Once published, it will display the currency selector button at the top right of the storefront.

 

2. Customer-selected currency display introduction

Rates are based on Open Exchange Rates and are updated twice daily.
Available currencies: HKD, MOP, CNY, TWD, USD, SGD, EUR, AUD, GBP, PHP, MYR, THB, AED, JPY, MMK, BND, KRW, IDR, and VND.

*Note: The store currency is set to display based on the customer's IP location by default. If the currency used in the customer's location is not supported by the store, it will display the set currency in the SHOPLINE Admin under [Settings] > [Basic Settings] > "Default currency of your shop".

 

Customers can now select and preview product prices in their selected currency.

 

*Note: This is an estimated price preview only. Order payments will be calculated and charged using the currency set in Shop Settings.

 

3. Hide the language selector at the storefront

Step 1

Go to SHOPLINE Admin > [Online Store Design] > [Design] and click the "Advanced Settings" tab.

 

Step 2

Check the box for "Hide the language selector on storefront". Then, scroll to the end of the page and click Save and Publish.

*Note: The changes will only be displayed to the storefront once published.

 

When not hidden, the language selector menu will be displayed on the storefront.

 

Once hidden, the language selector menu will not be displayed on the storefront.

 

4. Hide specific language

If the content for a specific language is not ready yet or you don't want to display a specific language on your storefront, you can use the "Hide specific language" feature.

Step 1

Go to the "Advanced Settings" tab and click Hide specific language. 

 

Step 2

Check the language you want to hide and click Save.

 

Step 3

The language that you choose to hide will be displayed next to the "Hide specific language" button. Then, scroll to the end of the page and click Save and Publish.

*Note: The changes will only be displayed to the storefront once published.

 

Once published, the hidden language will no longer be available to select on the storefront.

 

5. Delete the language from the storefront

You can delete the available language from your store in the Admin. Once deleted, all related fields for this language will be removed from the storefront.

Step 1

Go to SHOPLINE Admin > [Settings] > [Basic Settings] and scroll down to the "Supported Shop Languages" section.

 

Step 2

Click the "X" icon next to the language tag to delete the language. Then, click Delete on the pop-up window.

*Notes:

1. Each store requires a minimum of two languages.
2. English is the default language and can not be deleted.
3. If the deleted language is used by a customer, the store language will revert to English.
4. All related fields for a deleted language will be removed from the storefront, but remain saved in the database.
5. If you choose to add the language back to your store, you do not need to re-enter any inputs for that language.

 

Step 3

Click Update to apply the changes.

 

Once deleted, the deleted languages will no longer be available to select on the storefront.
