Currencies

Although each on-line store can have precisely one main currency defined (in which your store administrators enter the prices of all store items, i.e. product prices, shipping charges, discounts, etc.), the E-commerce Solution provides support for multiple currencies.

This means that a customer can make an order in a currency different from the main currency. The order price is then converted based on an exchange rates table.

Configuring currencies

To properly configure currencies in your on-line store:

1. Enter all currencies you plan to use and delete or disable those you do not plan to use.
2. If you are using multiple currencies, set one of the currencies as the main currency (Store configuration -> Store settings -> General).
3. If you are using multiple currencies, specify the exchange rates (Store configuration -> Exchange rates). You can find more details in Exchange rates.

Configuring the main currency

When configuring your on-line store general settings (in Store configuration -> Store settings on the General tab), you can specify the store main currency. You can do this by clicking Change in the Currencies section and selecting a currency in the displayed selection dialog.

Managing currencies

You can manage currencies in the Store configuration application on the Currencies tab (or in Multistore configuration -> Currencies; global currencies only). Here, the system displays a list of all defined currencies. You can add new departments by clicking New currency, and you can modify properties of existing currencies after clicking Edit () in the column. You can also remove currencies from your on-line store by clicking () next to respective currency items.
