🌍 How to Enable Multi-Currency Checkout on Shopify Without Shopify Payments
One of the biggest barriers to scaling a Shopify store internationally isn’t product or logistics, it’s payments. If your store operates in a country where Shopify Payments isn’t supported, Shopify will not let you enable multi-currency checkout.
As a result, international customers can only pay in your default store currency, which can lead to:
Lower conversion rates
Abandoned carts at checkout
A lack of trust from international shoppers who want to pay in their own currency
Multi-currency support is no longer optional, it’s a must-have for global eCommerce growth. But there’s good news: with Stripe-based EasyPie Checkout, merchants can offer multi-currency payments for their Shopify stores even without Shopify Payments.
💱 Why Multi-Currency Matters
A global eCommerce business thrives on local trust. Showing prices in a customer’s own currency can:
Increase conversion rates
Reduce cart abandonment
Build trust and transparency at checkout
Make the experience feel local, not foreign
But without Shopify Payments, Shopify Markets doesn’t allow you to fully enable “Show prices to customers in their local currency.” This limitation has long frustrated merchants in countries like the UAE, where Shopify Payments isn’t available.

🌍 How Multi-Currency Works with EasyPie
With EasyPie Checkout, you can set the currencies and rates you want in the EasyPie settings. Customers will then be able to choose their preferred currency at checkout.
EasyPie converts product prices according to the rate you specify.
The customer pays in their chosen currency.
The order is then created in Shopify with the converted values.
🪙 Currency support includes:
2-decimal currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, etc.)
0-decimal currencies (JPY, KRW)
3-decimal currencies (BHD, KWD)
Stripe supports processing payments in 135+ currencies, so your customers can pay in the currency they trust.
🧭 Two Flexible Setup Options
Option 1: When Shopify Markets Doesn’t Allow Local Currency Display
If you can’t enable “Show prices to customers in their local currency” in your Shopify Markets settings, you can:
Manually set currencies and exchange rates in EasyPie.
Install a currency converter plugin like Webrex - Currency Converter.
Match the plugin’s manual rates with EasyPie’s rates.
Add a currency selector to your storefront.
This ensures customers see the same currency and fixed exchange rates both on the store and at checkout.
Option 2: When Shopify Markets Does Allow Local Currency Display
If local currency display is enabled, Shopify will automatically:
Show converted prices on your storefront
Pass the converted fee and currency directly to EasyPie Checkout
✅ No separate currency plugin needed
✅ No manual exchange rate setup
✅ No extra steps for your customers
🌐 Stripe Multi-Currency Settlement
While EasyPie lets your customers pay in their own currency, Stripe also gives you flexibility with payouts.
You can either:
Automatically convert all incoming funds to your home currency, or
Enable multi-currency settlement to receive payouts in multiple currencies.
