How to enable the language & currency exchange switcher

The storefront switcher has two parts: the app-side configuration and the theme-side placement.

Step 1: Configure switcher behavior in the app

Open the Switcher page and set the behavior you need, such as:

• language selector on or off
• currency selector on or off
• geolocation on or off
• flag display
• colors, transparency, and position-related options

Save the settings first so the storefront behavior is defined before you place the block.

Step 2: Add the switcher to the Shopify theme

Open the Shopify theme editor and add the Ciwi switcher app block to the section where you want shoppers to see it, such as a header or footer area.

Step 3: Verify storefront behavior

After saving the theme:

1. refresh the storefront
2. confirm the switcher appears in the expected section
3. test both language and currency changes
4. check desktop and mobile layouts

Important note

If you use multiple markets or market-specific theme areas, verify each one that matters to your launch. A switcher that is visible in one market layout is not automatically a guarantee for every other market setup.
