Get store base currency shopify

Question

I am building an app for Shopify. My store has EUR as the base currency and supports different currencies such as USD, NZD,.. (I refer it as active currency).

I can get active currency with the javascript window.Shopify.currency.active and also the rate window.Shopify.currency.rate. How can I get the base currency symbol?

Answer 1

Shopify provides the Currency object depending on the theme page.

You can use {{ cart.currency.symbol }} and {{ checkout.currency.symbol }} in Cart page and Checkout page respectively.

For any other page, you can use the Shop object to get the currency by using {{ shop.currency }}.
