Note that some of the following Global‑e functionality may vary depending on your platform. For details about the following functionality in Shopify, refer to the section dedicated to Shopify Native. |
With our application installed and your Global-e Merchant account set up, your store will enjoy the following features and capabilities.
Shopper's geolocation: When the shopper accesses the store, the Global‑e application detects the shopper's location (IP address) and uses that location to predefine the relevant country/currency settings. See Supported Currencies.
Browsing and buying in local currencies: Shoppers can browse and buy in their local currency; Global‑e supports 100+ currencies. Shoppers can use the shipping switcher to change the order delivery to a different destination or currency.
Localised pricing by Global‑e: Global‑e converts the value of the merchant's product prices to the shopper's local currency. This conversion includes current conversion rates, country coefficients, VAT calculation according to distance selling regulations (EU), rounding rules, currency symbols, and uplift/downlift coefficients across products and categories.
Fixed prices / RRP: Global‑e supports fixed prices on your platform so that you can keep online pricing (webstore) aligned with the local stores, sites, and franchises.
