If your Etsy shop operates in EUR (€) and your Shopify store uses USD ($), Shuttle will automatically convert your product prices from Euros to US Dollars when transferring or updating products. You can let Shuttle handle this conversion based on current exchange rates, or input your preferred rate manually.
Example Conversion:
Etsy price: €20
Current exchange rate (for example): 1 EUR = 1.05 USD
Converted Shopify price: $21.00
Important Notes
The currency conversion feature applies only during product transfers or updates between Etsy and Shopify.
Remember to periodically review your custom exchange rate (if set manually) to keep prices aligned with market fluctuations.
