With Shopify markets you can sell your products in multiple currencies and this service is free of cost. Indian rupee is the base price and your Shopify website's front end will allow the international customer to choose their respective country to see the prices (Including the currency exchange conversion rate) in their local currency. We can also use the geo location service to automatically update the country and its currency based on the user's IP address.
We need to have an international payment gateway from CC Avenue or any payment gateway for that matter or else your existing merchant account with CCAvenue can be upgraded to accept International payment collection. The payments will be processed as usual by the CCAvenue and the international currency will get repatriated as Indian Rupees and it will get credited in your current account in India.
You don't have to worry about the foreign currency exchange conversion rate which will be factored in by the Shopify system to automatically charge the required exchange conversion rates at the time of checkout.
The usual payment settlement cycle is T+2 in CCAvenue, but we need to check with the CCAvenue team to make it as T+1 as a payment settlement cycle.
