Currency and localization mismatch at checkout kills conversions
Merchants are experiencing significant drop-offs because the checkout defaults to the wrong country and currency (e.g., Bulgaria/EUR for UK visitors). This creates a trust gap, as customers perceive the store as foreign or unreliable, leading them to abandon their carts.

Targeting the UK but showing EUR makes British buyers instantly hesitate.
The Country/Region field defaults to Bulgaria — not the UK. And directly under the order total it shows “EUR €10.95” with a BGN 21.42 conversion underneath.
A UK buyer sees Bulgarian currency conversion at checkout and that’s it — they’re gone.
