Setting Up Custom Price Endings Across Markets
When selling in multiple markets, currency conversion may result in irregular or messy price endings across different currencies. SHOPLINE’s Customize price ending feature automatically adjusts converted prices to the most common and customer-friendly denomination formats used in each local market. This helps you maintain professional and localized price presentation across markets while preventing frequent price changes caused by exchange rate fluctuations.
To ensure consistent, stable, and localized price endings after currency conversion, follow this guide to learn how to set up custom price ending rules.

How Custom Price Endings Works
Customize price endings ensures that product prices converted into different currencies follow localized pricing patterns. Instead of displaying irregular decimals created by fluctuating exchange rates (e.g., 56.46 GBP), the system automatically adjusts prices to the most commonly used price ending for each currency.
Purpose of Custom Price Endings
Currency conversion may generate inconsistent or messy price endings. After enabling custom price endings, the system standardizes price endings based on pricing conventions in each market. This results in:
- cleaner and more professional price display
- improved customer experience
- consistency across multiple markets
- stable price endings regardless of exchange rate fluctuations
How the System Determines the Price Ending Outcome
The system applies default price ending rules based on price endings commonly used in price formats currency. Examples:
- USD: typically ends in .00, .95, or .99
- JPY: typically rounded to the nearest hundred or thousand
- GBP: typically ends in .95
Merchants can enable the custom price endings feature in the Markets Preferences settings. For currencies that support customization, you can also manually set the price ending rules. Currencies that do not support customization will appear greyed out and cannot be modified.
