Payment Settings

Managing the currency settings is essential for any global e-commerce platform. These settings ensure that customers see prices in a familiar or local currency, enhancing their shopping experience.

Setting up Currency Options

  • Site Global Currency: Set the default currency for your store. All prices will be displayed in this currency unless specified otherwise.

  • Currency Symbol Position: Choose where to place the currency symbol relative to the price number (e.g., to the left $100 or to the right 100$).

  • Custom Currency Symbol: If your currency symbol is not listed or you have a unique symbol, you can add it here.

  • Currency Thousand Separator: Define the character used to separate thousands (commonly a comma , or period .).

  • Currency Decimal Separator: Define the character used for the decimal point.

  • Amount Decimal Mode: Decide whether to show decimals in your prices.

Default Payment Gateway

  • Choose a default payment gateway that will be pre-selected for customers during checkout. It should be reliable and commonly used by your target audience.

Exchange Rate Settings

  • If dealing with multiple currencies, ensure that your exchange rates are current to avoid pricing discrepancies.
