Fixed a bug in the online checkout extension where the Donate button could briefly show a different amount than the round-up option. This happened when Shopify recalculated the cart total after page load (e.g. shipping estimates, taxes, or discount codes). Both values now stay in sync automatically.
This only affected online checkout. POS round-up is not impacted. Special thanks to Denver Art Museum for flagging this.
Patron now supports 29 currencies across 6 continents — POS, online checkout, and admin dashboard all format to your store's native currency automatically.
## What's new
- Multi-currency support:POS modal, checkout extension, dashboard, and product setup now read your store's currency from Shopify and display the correct symbol and formatting
- 29 supported currencies:USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD, NZD, CHF, SEK, NOK, DKK, MXN, BRL, ZAR, INR, SGD, HKD, PLN, CZK, ILS, TRY, AED, SAR, PHP, THB, MYR, RON, COP, ARS, PEN
- Currency-aware product setup:Variant names reflect your store's currency — £0.01 through £1.00 for GBP, €0.01 through €1.00 for EUR
## Also in this release
- Updated dashboard metrics to use dynamic currency formatting
- Improved POS variant API responses with currency context

## Requirements
- No additional setup needed — Patron reads your store's currency automatically. Not seeing yours? Let us know.
We fixed a bug where creating a donation product would fail with the error "Value is already assigned to another metafield" if your store already had a product with the seo.hidden metafield set. The donation product will now be created successfully regardless of existing metafield conflicts, and SEO hiding is applied as a separate step that won't block setup if it can't be set.
We've cleaned up the donation product management flow on the Setup page:
- Disconnecting now shows a confirmation step with the option to archive the product in Shopify at the same time
- You can now reconnect an existing donation product by entering its Shopify product ID — no need to create a new one from scratch. Your dashboard metrics will automatically repopulate from your Shopify order history
- Stale dashboard metrics are automatically cleaned up when you disconnect
Patron now brings the same round-up donation experience your POS customers love to your Online Store checkout
Customers can round up their purchase or enter a custom donation amount — right at checkout, with a single click.
