I have an ecommerce store based on Magento. I have meta descriptions and keywords for all pages.
The problem is that in Google many of the snippets only show a little piece of the meta description and then it shows a couple of products from that page.
My site automatically sets the currency depending on the users location so when it shows the products in the snippets the currency is always USD as I guess google crawls it from the US and hence sees the prices in USD.
As most of my sales are to the UK I think it puts people off when they see the USD currency symbol in the SERP's.
Is there a way to prevent the currency symbol or the price from showing in the snippet?
You could make sure that when the User Agent is googlebot you display the price in Pound.
Have separate pages for each currency and use rel hreflang to indicate what country they relate to.

I have 2 currencies available in my shopify site. AED and USD. AED is the default currency. So if I choose USD in my site it converts all the product prices to USD perfectly, even until the cart. But when I click check out, it converts back to the default currency of AED.
Can anyone please help me out on this? I want to fix the chosen currency until the checkout site for my customers.
As far as I know you can't. Shopify allows only one currency per store.
Currency converter is frontend informative tool only. When customers goes to checkout, currency chosen in store parameters is applied.
Yes this is very unfortunate but Truth that Shopify Convert all currencies to store base(default) currency at checkout page.
Why This Happens: Because in Shopify Normal plan your checkout page url is something like http://checkout.shopify.com/xxxxxx that specifies that your customer are using shopify checkout url.
Solutions :
Switch to Shopify Plus Plan (Very Costly for small business)
Implement some banner showing conversion rate and message on checkout and cart pages.
Or Wait for something new to come with this feature that shopify promised years back.
In Prestashop 1.6.
I don't understand why the Carrier Name field is not translatable anymore.
I found serveral topics just saying that this was posible in older versions but no now. But why?
I have names like: "Standar Delivery" How are we supposed to translate these names?
Is there other approach to work with carriers and languages?
thanks.
There is no way to translate carrier names and there is issue (improvement) opened in PS Forge since 1.4. I think the reason behind is that carrier usually has a name, e.g. DHL which does not need to translate.
I see in merchants' stores they use store's name as carrier. e.g. if you have Shop ABC, then carrier name would have the same name - Shop ABC.
If you have more than one carrier, e.g. Priority Shipping, Standard Delivery, etc. then it won't work. My suggestion would be to use Standard Delivery and below there is a field named Transit time which is translatable. It is actually the same as description so you can add short description about each carrier in different languages. Customers won't need to know which type of delivery is offered by the carrier name, they can read description next to its name.
Also it would be good to have informational (CMS) page about delivery types and costs. I would say it is a must for an online store.
i have done this before for PrestaShop 1.6
I know it's possible but you need to modify 2 files and you need to adjust the database.
I'm using http://schema.org/Offer for a classifieds website pages. Some users submit a price for their selling items but some of them not. When their ad is without price, I skip the price and priceCurrency fields because it is better than placing empty values for these fields.
But Google Webmaster Tools says:
Missing: price.
So what to do when a price is not specified by user?
When Google reports this, it’s not an error with your Schema.org markup. Schema.org doesn’t define any required properties.
It just means that Google doesn’t consider this markup for displaying one of their Rich Snippets in search result pages.
You are doing it correctly: If there is no price, omit the price properties.
Because of situation in country there is need to put the second price in EUR in the shop at the same time like:
Price:
5 Ls
7.12 €
Is there some way to show the second price in the page? Right now page use prestashop 1.4.4.1 version.
You can use a Javascript Currency Converter. Unless your payment processor accepts multiple currencies you have to be clear that any currencies other than the one you actually take payment in, are just an approximation. Because any exchange rate converter you use won't use identical rates to your payment processor. Ones that I have come across are.

PS - often people will recommend using yahoo or google as they both have a exchange rate API. However both of those are not allowed to be used for commercial use.
Does anyone know if there's a way to integrate multiple shipping addresses into a Shopify website? Currently they only support one address per order. The website I'm currently working on is a gift shop so needs to allow customer the option to ship each item to a different address.
So far the only workaround I've come up with is to add shipping address fields as line item properties on the product page and disable/hide shipping fields in the checkout area. However, the concern then becomes sales tax. For this website any items shipped Washington State are subject to tax. So, I either need find a way to integrate multiple shipping addresses into the checkout or figure out how to add some sort of javascript/jQuery to calculate Washington State taxes on the product page and have it included in the product price when added to cart.
Any ideas about how to make this work would be appreciated, whether it's multiple shipping addresses or a product page tax calculation.
