How to Format Currency

Use Gelacy'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

Gelacy only formats the currencies you convert from your default currency (also known as target currencies). If you want to change how your default currency is displayed or formatted, you'll need to contact Shopify Support.
Gelacy doesn't automatically change prices or taxes based on a shopper's location. For example, if you want prices in Germany to include VAT and prices in the US to exclude it, you'll need to configure that in Shopify or another app.

I. Format Currency with Gelacy

You'll see five main formatting options:

Explicit format defined by Shopify Markets
Short format defined by Shopify Markets
Only symbol ($10.00)
Only code (10.00 USD)
Symbol and code ($10.00 USD)

These options allow you to control how converted currencies are displayed to customers across different markets.

II. Setting Up Price Rounding

To access Price Rounding settings:

Go to the Currency menu.
Select your target currency.
Click Price Rounding.

Round up
