So do you use some kind of payment app that does a conversion or do you have to manually convert from Monero to fiat currency?

Most retailers don't accept crypto at the point of purchase so I'm curious as to how this would be convenient enough to use regularly.

There are businesses that specifically sell gift cards to retailers for Monero and when possible I search out and purchase from retailers who accept Monero. Https://monerica.com and https://xmrbazaar.com help with that.
