Currencies
With LiveCart you can localize your e-store and provide the product and shipping pricing in visitor's home currency. That is, you can set multiple currencies and allow users to switch between currencies to view the prices of products and conclude payments in the currency they prefer. To do that, you have to define which currencies your store will support.
Add currency
To add a new currency:
- Click the "Add currency" link.
- Select a currency from the list and click the "Add Currency" button.
Enable or disable currencies
All the currencies are disabled by default. To enable a currency, click its checkbox on the left of the currency name.
Clear the mark to disable it.
Adjust exchange rates
To adjust exchange rates of your active currencies, click on the "Adjust Exchange Rates" tab.
To set the currency exchange rates, enter currency value in the appropriate field. For instance, if one Canadian Dollar is worth 1.0212 US Dollars, enter this value and click Save to set the rates.
Set the base currency
The base currency is used as the main currency of your system. All the other currency rates are calculated in respect with the base currency. If you want to change the base currency, click the "Set as base currency" link under the currency name.
Note: Once you change the base currency all prices have to be recalculated and re-set for all the products.
Price formatting
To express the type of money you can set special currency symbols ("$", etc.), which will be displayed in your store with a particular price. To set price formatting:
- Click the currency's pen icon.
- In the Price Formatting you can enter the prefix and suffix that will be displayed with the price.
- Click Save to set formatting.
Reorder currencies
Reordering currencies determines how the active currencies are displayed to your customers in the currency switching menu. To set the appropriate currency order, click on the currency and drag it up or down.
Delete
To delete a currency, click the delete icon.
