MarketCurrency Invoices for Manual Payments
The Opportunity
Preserve and display buyer currency totals for manual/offline B2B payments across Shopify Markets. Generate localized PDFs and emails in the presentment currency with locked FX snapshots for accounting and customer clarity.
"With manual payment methods, Shopify reverts orders to the shop currency and loses presentment_money data, confusing customers and preventing accurate SEK/NOK totals for invoicing and reporting."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Capture buyer currency and cart totals at checkout, store them in order metafields, and generate invoices and notifications in the buyer’s currency; snapshot FX rates at order time and provide exports to Xero/QuickBooks; show localized totals on order status pages and in admin through app surfaces.
Target Audience
B2B merchants using manual/offline payments across multi-currency Markets, agencies managing cross-border stores, finance teams needing currency-accurate invoices.
Competitive Landscape
Sufio, Order Printer Pro, Xero/QuickBooks invoice apps (few explicitly preserve presentment currency for manual payments in Markets)
Implementation Notes
Use Checkout UI Extensions or theme/cart attributes to record buyer currency and per-line presentment totals pre-payment; on orders/create webhook, compute and store presentment totals and FX rate in order metafields; generate localized PDF invoices and email templates referencing these metafields; provide an admin app to resend localized invoices, export CSV/JSON with presentment totals, and sync to accounting platforms; integrate Shopify Markets price lists or external FX API for rate snapshots; ensure messaging replaces confusing shop-currency phrasing in notifications; clearly document limitations where Shopify core does not set presentment_money for manual payments.
Evidence from Merchants
Real quotes from Shopify community forums
"The problem is that when a Swedish customer selects this payment method at checkout, Shopify converts the entire order back to DKK."
"The customer sees 'Debiterat som 256,37 kr DKK' even though they browsed and added products in SEK."
"Has anyone found a way to make manual payment methods preserve the presentment currency?"
Key Pain Points
