A visitor from another country sees a confusing or foreign price
An Egyptian store priced in EGP starts receiving visitors from Saudi Arabia and the UAE; the visitor sees the price in pounds or with an unfamiliar symbol and abandons the cart, assuming the store does not ship to their country or the price is not final.
Why this happens
Because the store has a single base currency, and any foreign visitor sees that same currency unless auto currency is enabled, so the price is misread or assumed to exclude conversion.
What Vareons does about it
Vareons detects the visitor's country and converts display prices on the server from stored daily rates with fallbacks, without the visitor's browser ever calling an exchange-rate service, while the merchant controls whether the price shows as symbol, code, or name.
- store.currency.base — Base store currency (12 currencies): Available
- store.currency.auto-geo — Automatic currency by visitor location: Available
- store.currency.display-modes — Currency display modes: Available
Limitations
Automatic conversion is display-only and does not lock your margin in a foreign currency; if you want a guaranteed final price for a market, use a static per-country price instead of relying on the daily rate.
