00:00.080 --> 00:05.900
So the last key part to taking your business international is being able to show your prices in the

00:05.900 --> 00:07.160
local currency.

00:07.160 --> 00:11.210
After all, you now know how to show the store in the local language.

00:11.210 --> 00:16.010
And so that combined with the local currency, is undoubtedly a powerful combination.

00:16.010 --> 00:21.470
Now, you already know that Shopify has the ability to show different markets in different currencies,

00:21.470 --> 00:26.360
because you'll remember that when we were setting up the United States market and also the Portugal

00:26.360 --> 00:32.030
market, we set up the United States market to show prices in United States dollars, and we set up

00:32.030 --> 00:34.970
the Portuguese market to show the prices in euros.

00:34.970 --> 00:39.830
And just as a reminder, if I go into the Portuguese market, we looked at this products and pricing.

00:39.830 --> 00:42.890
And when I click into it, you see the currency set to euros.

00:42.890 --> 00:48.680
And then we also saw that the prices had been automatically adjusted according to the exchange rate.

00:48.680 --> 00:53.690
And just to show you where that is, if I click on this manage exchange rate link, it brings up two

00:53.690 --> 00:54.530
possibilities.

00:54.530 --> 01:00.680
Either dynamic where Shopify will continuously monitor the exchange rate and adjust prices accordingly.

01:00.680 --> 01:06.050
So you can see right now that 1 USD is equal to €0.951.

01:06.050 --> 01:08.690
And that was updated just 21 minutes ago.

01:08.690 --> 01:11.870
So I can either do that or I could set them manually.

01:11.870 --> 01:17.390
Now, unless you have a particular reason, there really is no logic in continuously trying to set exchange

01:17.390 --> 01:22.250
rates manually, so we tend to just leave it on dynamic and let Shopify do all of the hard work.

01:22.250 --> 01:27.410
So coming out of here and then going back to the markets, it's clear that we're already showing our

01:27.410 --> 01:32.420
prices in the local currency in both the United States and Portugal, which means that the only thing

01:32.420 --> 01:34.970
left to do is to set up the international market.

01:34.970 --> 01:41.060
But unlike the Portuguese market and the US market, which only have one country each, of course the

01:41.060 --> 01:47.060
international market has over 200 countries and therefore potentially over 200 currencies.

01:47.060 --> 01:48.650
So how do we manage that?

01:48.650 --> 01:52.130
Well, luckily Shopify makes this super easy.

01:52.130 --> 01:53.210
Let me show you.

01:53.210 --> 01:57.530
First of all, we'll click into the international market and then we'll go to products and pricing where

01:57.530 --> 02:00.680
you can see that by default, the base currency is in euros.

02:00.680 --> 02:07.190
But in order to show my products in their local currency, wherever my customers might be based in my

02:07.190 --> 02:13.100
over 200 countries, all I need to do is to check this box where it says show prices to customers in

02:13.100 --> 02:14.270
their local currency.

02:14.270 --> 02:19.640
Now, before I go any further, if you're not seeing this box or perhaps it's grayed out, don't worry,

02:19.640 --> 02:23.510
I will be showing you an alternative solution at the end of this lecture.

02:23.510 --> 02:28.250
But for the moment and when I check this and click on save, I am ready to go.

02:28.250 --> 02:29.870
It really couldn't be simpler.

02:29.870 --> 02:35.180
But just to be absolutely sure, let's come out of the settings and go to our store where I draw your

02:35.180 --> 02:40.010
attention to this in the top right hand corner where currently it says Portugal and Euros.

02:40.010 --> 02:44.930
And it shows me that because my browser knows that I'm in Portugal and of course Portugal uses the euro.

02:44.930 --> 02:48.380
So automatically all the prices are going to be in euros.

02:48.380 --> 02:53.420
And so let's just confirm that by going to our fabulous products and clicking on the feeders, for example,

02:53.420 --> 02:56.390
where of course my two feeder products are showing in euros.

02:56.390 --> 02:58.310
Okay, so no surprises there.

02:58.310 --> 03:00.890
But what I can now do is use this menu.

03:00.890 --> 03:06.470
So if I click on the little arrow here to show how my product pricing is going to look in my over 200

03:06.470 --> 03:07.160
markets.

03:07.160 --> 03:10.670
So let's take one at random, for example the Bahamas.

03:10.670 --> 03:15.320
So if I click on this, you now see that the prices are showing in the Bahamian dollar.

03:15.320 --> 03:17.060
Let's go to another country.

03:17.060 --> 03:20.270
So this time scrolling down let me take Rwanda.

03:20.270 --> 03:23.870
And now as you can see the products are showing in the Rwandan franc.

03:23.870 --> 03:25.580
I think you get the idea.

03:25.580 --> 03:31.640
And I think you can also see how Shopify makes it incredibly easy to show all of your products in their

03:31.640 --> 03:35.210
local currencies across your international markets.

03:35.570 --> 03:40.460
And then just to finish off this lecture, you will remember a few minutes ago I said that if you're

03:40.460 --> 03:46.070
not seeing this box or perhaps it's grayed out, I will show you an alternative solution at the end

03:46.070 --> 03:46.880
of the lecture.

03:46.880 --> 03:47.960
Well, here we are.

03:47.960 --> 03:53.690
And as you can see, I'm on the Shopify app store and I've come to an app called Best Currency Converter,

03:53.690 --> 03:58.700
which is another amazing app which has been around for a very long time.

03:58.700 --> 04:04.850
But most importantly, as you can see here, it says best currency converter converts prices to your

04:04.850 --> 04:08.270
customers local currency, making shopping easy.

04:08.270 --> 04:13.370
So if you don't have that checkbox option in Shopify, simply come over here, install this app and

04:13.370 --> 04:16.220
you'll have all of the functionality that you need.
