Prices Atlas displays come from Shopify, so they follow whatever currency your store presents to that visitor. Amounts you configure yourself, such as a free shipping threshold or a shipping protection price, are entered as a single value rather than per currency. That distinction is what to plan around if you sell internationally.
In this article:
Prices that follow Shopify
Anything Atlas reads from your catalogue is displayed in the currency Shopify is presenting to that visitor:
Product prices in bundle offers
Compare-at prices
Cart item prices and the subtotal
Prices on generated pages
Upsell product prices
If you use Shopify Markets with currency conversion, these convert automatically. Atlas is displaying Shopify's number rather than calculating its own.
Amounts you set yourself
Some settings ask you for a figure, and that figure is a single value.
Setting | Where |
Reward bar | Cart drawer, reward progress bar |
Shipping protection | Cart drawer, shipping protection |
Fixed amount discounts | Bundle offers |
Specific prices on an offer | Bundle offers |
Cost of goods in the AI wizard | Bundle AI wizard |
⚠️ These are entered once, not per currency. A free shipping threshold set to 50 is 50 in your store's base currency. A visitor shopping in a different currency sees converted prices while the threshold stays fixed, so the effective threshold in their currency is whatever the conversion makes it.
Reward bar thresholds across currencies
This is the setting most affected, so think it through.
If your base currency is USD and your threshold is $50, a visitor shopping in euros sees their cart in euros while the threshold is still evaluated against 50 in your base currency. Depending on the exchange rate, that visitor's real threshold is a slightly different number from the one a domestic customer faces.
The same applies to the automatic discount you create in Shopify to back the reward. Both use your base currency.
💡 If a large share of your orders come from one other currency, set your threshold so it lands sensibly in both. A round number in your base currency that converts to an awkward one is fine; a threshold that converts to something significantly higher for a major market is not.
Bundle discounts across currencies
Percentage discounts work cleanly. 20% is 20% in any currency.
Fixed amount discounts do not. A $10 discount is 10 in your base currency, converted for display, which may be an odd number in the customer's currency.
If you sell into several currencies, percentage-based bundle offers are the more predictable choice.
Your Atlas subscription
Your Atlas subscription is billed in the currency Shopify uses for your app charges, regardless of what currencies your store sells in. The base plan is $39 and usage tiers are quoted in dollars.
What to check if you sell internationally
Test in each major currency. Use Shopify's market preview or a VPN to see your store as an overseas customer does.
Check the reward bar reads sensibly in each currency.
Check the checkout, confirming discounts apply in each market.
Prefer percentages over fixed amounts for bundle discounts.
Check any Shopify discount conditions for market restrictions that would stop them applying abroad.
