Code Black Belt August updates: New currencies, trending apps, and Shopify improvements

Shopify Markets: Price sync made easy

Managing international prices is becoming simpler. Shopify now allows merchants to update primary market prices directly from the Markets section instead of the Product section.

We’ve updated our app code to align with this change, so your store will always reflect the correct prices — no matter where you make the adjustment. This ensures smoother operations for global merchants and keeps pricing consistent across all markets.

Trending apps in July

July was all about apps that help merchants sell smarter and reach more customers.

  • Frequently Bought Together stood out thanks to its AI-driven product recommendations. The app automatically suggests the most relevant bundles, helping increase order value without extra effort. If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s the perfect time to explore how it can support your sales strategy.

  • Currency Converter Plus also gained traction, offering support for 223 currencies. By making it easy for international shoppers to see prices in their own currency, the app helps break down barriers to global sales.

New currencies in Currency Converter Plus

We’re excited to share that Currency Converter Plus now supports three additional currencies:

These new options expand the app’s already broad coverage and ensure a more inclusive shopping experience for customers worldwide.

App Blocks compatibility in Also Bought

Merchants using Also Bought now have more flexibility with App Blocks compatibility.

This update allows you to control widget placement directly within your store, choosing from three options:

  • Predefined location

  • Theme editor

  • Custom selector

This added flexibility gives you greater control over your store’s design and functionality. For setup instructions, visit our step-by-step guide.

Shopify API update

Our developers have fine-tuned all Code Black Belt apps to stay fully aligned with the Shopify API 2025-07 update. This ensures that every app continues to perform reliably and efficiently on the latest version of Shopify’s platform.

WCAG improvements for accessibility

We believe every shopper deserves a great online experience. That’s why we’ve improved accessibility in both Frequently Bought Together and Also Bought.

Product images now automatically include the alternative text configured by merchants in the Shopify admin, supporting WCAG accessibility standards and making stores more inclusive for customers with visual impairments.
