How does Shopify multi‑currency checkout really work for small stores?

How does Shopify multi‑currency checkout really work for small stores? I sell handmade ceramics from Ukraine and get traffic from the EU and US. Some buyers see prices in EUR or USD but still get charged in my base currency, others can pay in their own currency with local cards. What setup actually gives automatic conversion at checkout, and which apps or gateways handle rates without me updating them daily?

You can replace the default checkout with a specialized multi‑currency flow. Tools like https://checkify.plus/features/multi-currency-checkout recalculate products, shipping, and discounts in the customer’s currency using live rates, then settle in your base currency. This can help small stores avoid manual rate updates and give international buyers a clearer final price at payment.
