Where do I manage this?

Currencies

Base currency

In order for visitors to add items to their shopping cart, the currency selected in the record must be the same as the base currency.

• Choose the currency of the country you're located in as your base currency.
• If you require multiple currencies, you can use the Currency conversion feature explained below.

Currency conversion

Select which currencies your visitors will be able to choose from.

If the currency you need isn't on this list please let us know.

Conversion fee percent

This percentage field allows you to add an additional amount on top of each currency conversion, due to potential loss at the time of conversion.

VAT rates

Use this to ensure that your customer's cart has the specified minimum order amount.

• Minimum item quantity (for example, a minimum quantity of 3 items).
