Currencies Overview

Multi Currency allows you to assign currencies to payment types. This also adds an ability for customers to change the currency during purchasing.

By default, product prices are displayed in the one currency, and customers could pay for them using any available payment type. Multi currency adds an ability to create different payment types for different currencies. Customers will be able to select their preferred currency to pay after adding the product to the cart and using currency selector from the cart. I.e., you added US Dollars to the PayPal payment gateway and Euro to the Stripe. In this case, if the user wants to buy a product using US Dollars, he'll need to pay by PayPal, and if he selects Euro, he should pay by Stripe. This also allows you to add 2 PayPal (or any other payment gateway) accounts for different currencies.

1. Add: Add new currency to your IntelliCart.
   
   

   1. Currency - Select the required currency.
   2. Rate - Add a rate compared to the default currency (if it's a default, put "1" here).
   3. Format - When you select the currency, default format for this currency appears. Define how you write hundreds, tens, numbers after the decimal point, as well as the decimal point itself.
   I.e., in '$1,0.00' format '1' stands for hundreds, '0' between coma and dot stands for tens, '.' is a decimal point, and '00' are numbers after the decimal point.
   4. Is default - Mark this currency as a default so that products in the Products Catalog will be displayed in this currency.
