Why a currency is missing in Selecty

No. Selecty doesn't convert prices and doesn't add currencies to your store. It lets visitors switch to a currency that your Shopify Markets already use, and Shopify shows the prices in that currency. If your store can't sell in several currencies, Selecty can't add this.

Where currencies and prices come from

Everything about currencies is set in Shopify:

Currency of each market. You choose it in Markets.
Exchange rate. Shopify converts prices automatically at the current market rate, or uses a rate you set manually.
Rounding and fixed prices. You can round converted prices or set your own prices per market.

Selecty shows the currencies of your active markets. You can see them in Selecty under Resources > Currencies, marked Market:

When a visitor switches the currency, Shopify shows the store and the checkout in that currency. The visitor pays in the currency they see.

Some currency converter apps only change the prices shown on the page, and the checkout goes back to your store's currency. Selecty doesn't work this way: it switches the visitor to a real Shopify market, so the checkout matches.

What your store needs to sell in several currencies

To sell in local currencies, Shopify requires Shopify Payments (or Adyen, which is available only to approved businesses). With other payment providers, Shopify processes orders in your store's default currency, and you can't show prices in local currencies.

So if Shopify Payments isn't active, your store sells in one currency, and there are no other currencies for Selecty to show.

To check, go to Settings > Payments in your Shopify admin. If Shopify Payments shows Complete setup, finish the setup first.

Shopify Payments isn't available in every country. Check the list of supported countries before you plan a multi-currency setup. If it isn't available for your store, use Selecty to switch countries and languages instead.

Set a currency for a market

From your Shopify admin, go to Markets and open the market, for example Italy.
Click the plus icon next to Currency.
Select the currency and the price rounding, then click Done.
Click Save.

A market without its own currency setting uses the currency it inherits, often your store's default currency.

Why a currency is missing in Selecty

If a currency doesn't appear in your selector or banner, check in Shopify:

Shopify Payments is active. Without it, the store has only one currency.
The market is Active. A draft or inactive market isn't on your storefront.
The market has this currency. Open the market and check the Currency row.

After you fix it in Shopify, the currency appears in Selecty under Resources > Currencies.
