All Currencies
This screen displays all Currencies.
Currencies allow Customers to convert all dollar amounts into the
Currency of their choice while viewing and navigating the Commerce
Pages. This is ideal if you have foreign Customers that want to
see you Product prices and Order Totals displayed in their own
Currency.
Currencies are for display purposes only. This means that all
calculations are still done in US Dollars, all payments are still
collected in US Dollars, and all Orders are still stored and exported
in US Dollars, regardless of the Currency selected by the Customer.
NOTE: The US Dollar is the default Currency that will be displayed to each Customer.
TIP: Any Currency that is selected by a Customer and used throughout
their checkout process will be stored and exported with the Order
data. This means you can also create Order Reports and track your
Customers
by the Currencies they prefer.
