2 reflowhq (sign-in) projects on the same domain gives err525

Hello! I’m building a site for a client that uses ReflowHQ. The products need to be displayed in different currencies depending on the user’s location (and their selection). The best approach I’ve found so far is to create two ReflowHQ projects, each using a different currency.
(Please let me know if a single Reflow project can handle multiple currencies.)

If I can’t make one project work with multiple currencies, I’ll need separate sign-in domains. Here’s the issue: I haven’t been able to set up more than one subdomain (for example, auth.domain.com) pointing to domains.reflowhq.com in Cloudflare, as the others consistently return Error 525.

If anyone is familiar with how this system works, please let me know whether only one sign-in subdomain per domain is supported, or if there’s a better way to structure the entire project.

Thank you in advance.

Having more than one reflow sign in for a website will not work unfortunately, since login state will be overwritten. The only way would be to have entirely separate store domains (can be subdomains) like store-eu.example.com and store-us.example.com. They will then have their own auth subdomains auth-eu.example.com and auth-us.example.com. Since these are entirely separate stores products will need to be added and updated separately for each.

Generally Reflow is focused on small to medium stores that work with a single currency. Multicurrency support brings a great deal of complexity we would rather not spend time on right now.

I have no experience with reflow, but for what it’s worth:

When I had to deal with this issue on a commerce site, I found that it was best to have a separate subdomain for each currency: mysite.com, gbp.mysite.com, eur.mysite.com, etc. The customer could choose their currency in the page header to move between them.

They can all point to the same html page but the $ amounts would have to be recalculated using javascript similar to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56488541/how-would-i-create-a-currency-converter-with-javascript

Of course, your currency conversion rates will be constantly changing - but I have found that checking for changes once or a few times a day is adequate.
