Currencies Overview for Moodle

Search our Help Articles

Multi Currency allows you, as an admin or manager, to assign currencies to payment types. This also adds an ability for customers to change the currency on the Products Catalog.

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 display in the product catalog 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.
