Formatting how currency displays to your customers

You can change the way that currencies are displayed on your store to make it easier for your customers to read the amounts.

Currency formatting types

Review the following currency formats that are used in different parts of your store.

The four different currency formats used on your store

Name	Used in
HTML with currency	Online store
HTML without currency	Online store
Email with currency	Notifications and Shopify Order Printer templates
Email without currency	Notifications and Shopify Order Printer templates

Currency formatting options

You can display currency amounts in different ways.

formatting options for currency amounts

Money format	Rounded	Example
{{ amount }}		1,134.65
{{ amount_no_decimals }}	✓	1,135
{{ amount_with_comma_separator }}		1,134.65
{{ amount_no_decimals_with_comma_separator }}	✓	1,135
{{ amount_with_apostrophe_separator }}		1'134.65
{{ amount_no_decimals_with_space_separator }}	✓	1 135
{{ amount_with_space_separator }}		1 134,65
{{ amount_with_period_and_space_separator }}		1 134.65

When using the formatting option amount_no_decimals, the thousands separator (used for digit grouping) is determined from the international set standard for the currency code.

If the decimal number is 50 or greater, then rounded currency formats are rounded up. If the decimal number is less than 50, then rounded currency formats are rounded down.

Note

Regardless of the currency format that you choose, your store's checkout always displays decimal places.

Troubleshooting

Errors with how your currency or pricing displays in your online store can be caused by the following factors:

• incorrect currency formatting
• third-party or custom theme code
• third-party or custom app code

There are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

• change your store currency, and then change it back
• confirm that your currency formatting is set up correctly
• review any apps that might make changes to your currency settings
• preview your online store in an un-edited theme by Shopify

If the issue persists in the original theme, but the issue is solved in an unedited Shopify theme, then the issue might be caused by custom theme or app code. You can reach out to your theme's developer or the relevant app developer for further troubleshooting. Learn more about where to find support for your theme and getting help with apps.

If you've confirmed your currency and currency formatting is correct, and the issue persists in an un-edited Shopify theme, then you can reach out to Shopify Support.
