Help me plan multi-currency selling for my Shopify store. Note: confirm with me first whether you can directly configure Shopify Markets currency/rounding settings in my admin – if not, give me the exact settings and values below so I can apply them myself.

Current Setup:

  Base currency: [YOUR BASE CURRENCY]
  Shopify plan: [BASIC / SHOPIFY / ADVANCED / PLUS]
  Countries/markets I sell to: [LIST COUNTRIES]
  Currencies I want to offer: [LIST CURRENCIES, e.g., USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD]
  Current multi-currency solution: [SHOPIFY MARKETS / APP / NONE]


Currency Configuration:

  Enable Shopify Markets for each target country/region
  Set up currency for each market:
    
      Automatic conversion from base currency with exchange rate markup
      Manual fixed pricing per currency (for stable pricing)
      Recommended approach for my business model
    
  
  Configure rounding rules:
    
      Round to nearest .99 or .95 for psychological pricing
      Currency-specific rounding (JPY rounds to whole numbers, etc.)
    
  
  Set exchange rate buffer/markup: [SUGGESTED PERCENTAGE TO COVER FLUCTUATIONS]


Pricing Strategy by Market:

  Should I use automatic conversion or set manual prices for [LIST KEY MARKETS]?
  How to handle price parity concerns (same product, different effective prices)
  Adjust prices for purchasing power in different markets
  Include or exclude VAT/tax in displayed prices by region


Conversion Fee Analysis:

  Shopify Payments currency conversion fee: what am I paying?
  Compare Shopify conversion rates vs mid-market rates
  Calculate monthly cost of currency conversion on [MONTHLY INTERNATIONAL REVENUE]
  Should I open local bank accounts to receive payouts in foreign currencies?


Customer Experience:

  Auto-detect customer location and show local currency
  Currency selector placement and design
  Handle checkout currency vs display currency
  Communicate any additional fees or exchange rate policies


Monitoring and Adjustment:

  How often to review and adjust manual prices
  Set up alerts for significant exchange rate movements
  Monthly currency conversion cost report
  Track conversion rate differences by currency (do some currencies convert better?)


Provide step-by-step Shopify admin instructions for the complete setup.
