Your store needs a local currency.
Switching your store to USD may sound simple, but some local gateways only support selected currencies. Your default currency needs to work with your payment provider.

Selling globally.
Working with local limits.
Shopify Payments is not available in every country. For merchants who rely on a local payment gateway, multi-currency selling can become a difficult balancing act.
A display conversion is only part of it.
A converter can show other currencies, but when it starts from a fixed local amount, changing exchange rates also change the global amount shoppers see.
Consistent values become hard to manage.
Maintaining your intended global value can mean repeatedly recalculating local prices. It is frustrating work when exchange rates keep moving.
Payment and checkout currencies depend on your provider. Read Shopify’s currency guidelines ↗
ONE SOURCE. TWO CONNECTED APPS.
Keep the local currency.
Choose your own starting point.
Rate Sync stores a source value for each variant, independently of its local Shopify price. Set your intended value in USD or another source currency and keep it fixed until you choose to edit it.
Define a source value.
Set a variant to $20 USD, for example. That source value stays $20 even when the exchange rate changes.
Sync the local amount.
Rate Sync calculates and updates the local-currency Shopify price from your source value, rate, and rounding rule.
Display from the same source.
Kursa uses that independent value as the conversion base for other display currencies, rather than deriving it from the local store price.
Designed to work together.
Install Kursa Currency Converter alongside Rate Sync to use this source-based storefront conversion workflow. Kursa is the companion converter designed for this integration and is free to use.
Your source-currency value stays fixed. Other display currencies still follow their exchange rates. Checkout remains governed by Shopify and your payment provider.
LESS REPETITION. MORE CONTROL.
A considered workflow.
From source to store.
Keep your pricing anchor in one currency and your Shopify catalog in another.
