How to Format Currency
.Use Transcy's currency formatting features to fine-tune how your prices display to customers worldwide. This guide covers everything from display formats to exchange rates, helping you create a seamless shopping experience for each market.
Important:
- Transcy only formats the currencies you convert from your default currency (aka “target currencies”). So, if you want to change how your default currency looks or formats, you’ll need to contact Shopify Support.
- Transcy doesn’t automatically change prices or taxes based on a shopper’s location. Example: If you want prices in Germany to include VAT and prices in the US to exclude it, you’ll need to set that up in Shopify or another app
