Swap Mashriq numbers in checkout with standard arabic numerals

Swap Mashriq numbers in checkout with standard arabic numerals. This seems like an easy switch but there does not seem to be any way to do it. Support says I should create a private app, but with no specifics on what should it be based on…

Hi there!

For context, which countries are you noticing Mashriq symbols for at checkout?

Hello!

We notice this for the Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, UAE markets.

@Paige-Shopify I think the issue is in checkout, not in the theme. If there are not theme settings I can add, no checkout branding apis that apply… What are our options except currency conversion apps?

Right now, there is no solution to address this issue. While currency conversion apps can change monetary values, they don’t modify how the currency format displays.

Since this needs to be addressed on our end, I’ve logged this as a feature request for you. Because this involves changes to checkout, I can’t provide a specific timeline for implementation at this time.

Your feedback helps us understand what merchants need and we really appreciate you reaching out about this :slight_smile:
