Currencies define what monetary units your store uses for pricing and transactions. Proper currency configuration is essential for displaying correct prices to your customers.
Accessing Currency Settings
- Click on Settings in the sidebar
- Select General from the settings menu
Default Currency
Your store has one default currency that is used for:
- Product pricing
- Order totals
- Reports and analytics
- Default display currency
Choose your default currency carefully during initial setup, as changing it later may affect existing product prices and orders.
Currency Configuration
For each currency, you can configure:
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Currency code | The ISO 4217 code (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP) |
| Symbol | The currency symbol (e.g., $, €, £) |
| Symbol position | Whether the symbol appears before or after the amount |
| Decimal separator | Character used for decimals (e.g., ”.” or ”,“) |
| Thousands separator | Character used for thousands (e.g., ”,” or ” “) |
| Decimal places | Number of decimal places to display |
| Currency | Code | Format Example |
|---|
| US Dollar | USD | $1,234.56 |
| Euro | EUR | €1.234,56 |
| British Pound | GBP | £1,234.56 |
| Japanese Yen | JPY | ¥1,234 |
Enabling Additional Currencies
If your store serves international customers, you may want to enable additional currencies:
- Navigate to the Currencies settings
- Add the currencies you want to support
- Configure the exchange rates if applicable
- Set display preferences for each currency
If you’re selling internationally, consider using a currency conversion service to keep exchange rates up to date automatically.
