Automatically converts product prices to customer's local currency using geolocation detection to reduce cart abandonment and boost international sales.
MLV Auto Currency Switcher is one of the best free currency converter apps for Shopify stores in 2025. It offers automatic geolocation detection, supports 200+ ISO currencies, and provides a beautiful currency switcher with country flags. The free plan includes theme integration, free UX customization, and Shopify Payments multi-currency checkout, making it ideal for merchants looking to boost international sales without upfront costs.
Free alternatives to MLV Auto Currency Switcher include Shopify Translate & Adapt (4.6/5 stars, 955 reviews) which offers translation and currency adaptation, and BUCKS Currency Converter PRO++ (4.9/5 stars, 700 reviews) with geolocation-based currency conversion. Both provide free plans with automatic currency detection, though MLVeda's solution offers more comprehensive features like country flags and rounded pricing displays.
To enable automatic currency conversion, first install the app from Shopify App Store. Then navigate to Auto Currency Switcher app admin panel → Settings → Currencies → My Default Currency. The premium version ($9.95/month) includes IP-based country detection that automatically converts prices based on visitor location. For setup, add shopify@mlveda.com as staff with Themes, Settings, and App permissions.
Customize your currency switcher by going to Auto Currency Switcher app admin panel → Settings → Look. You can modify colors, fonts, and layout to match your brand. For premium features like country flags, ensure you have the Pro plan. The app also supports custom positioning - go to Settings → Location → Switcher Location to adjust display position on your store.
Custom currency rounding may not work if you've enabled Shopify's Multi Currency feature, as it has its own rounding rules. To enable custom rounding, go to Auto Currency Switcher app admin panel → Settings → Pricing Rules → Pricing Rounding Rules. If the issue persists, contact support@mlveda.com for assistance, as they can help set fixed exchange rates or troubleshoot conflicts with Shopify's native features.
