Currency/Country selector setup

Written by Jalal
Updated over 2 weeks ago

The Country Selector in Xtra, Next, and Xclusive themes allows customers to choose their country and automatically see the correct currency, pricing, and regional settings.

This selector works directly with your Shopify Markets and Shopify Payments settings.

How it works

When a customer selects a country from the Country Selector:

• Shopify automatically updates the currency

• Product prices refresh based on the selected country

• Checkout uses the correct currency and regional settings

• Taxes and shipping rules adjust accordingly

The theme does not control currency conversion. It only displays the selector and connects it with Shopify’s native Markets system.

Requirements

To use the Country Selector properly, you must configure Shopify Markets and enable Shopify Payments.

Step 1: Enable Shopify Payments

  • Go to Shopify Admin

  • Click Settings

  • Click Payments

  • Activate Shopify Payments

  • Add the currencies you want to support

Shopify Payments is required for automatic currency conversion.

Step 2: Configure Markets

  • Go to Shopify Store

  • Click Markets

  • Click Create market

  • Select the countries you want to include

  • Assign currencies if needed and save your changes

Only configured countries will appear in the selector.

Step 3: Enable the Country Selector in the theme

  • Go to Online Store → Themes

  • Click edit theme

  • Open the Header section settings

  • Enable Country selector and Save

The selector will now appear in your store header.
