Can customers choose their own currency in Vareons stores?
Last verified: 2026-09-19
The currency experience in Vareons stores is designed to stay automatic while keeping control with the merchant. When dynamic currency is enabled, the store resolves the visitor country and converts display prices server-side from USD-based daily rates with fallbacks, without the browser calling any external exchange service. You can also set how prices render, as symbol, code, or name, with the label following the website language or always showing in English. This means the customer usually sees a suitable currency for their location with no extra steps.
How to configure the currency experience for your customers
- Pick the base store currency from the store settings, since it is the reference for the other display options.
- Enable dynamic currency if you want the visitor country resolved automatically with server-side conversion of display prices.
- Choose the display mode that fits your audience: symbol for brevity, code for clarity, or name for full transparency.
- Set the label behavior by website language or always English, depending on your customers.
- For a market that needs a fixed price, pin a per-country price on the product so it wins over automatic conversion.
Note that converted display prices for browsing do not change the base store currency, and every order stamps its transaction currency at creation. Invoices and reports therefore stay consistent no matter how display settings change later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the customer need to pick a currency manually?
Usually not, because with dynamic currency enabled the store resolves the visitor country and shows prices in the suitable currency automatically with no extra steps from the customer.
Does the browser call an external exchange service?
No, conversion happens server-side from daily rates with fallbacks, and the browser only renders the result without calling any exchange service.
What is the difference between the base currency and a pinned country price?
The base currency is the store reference for the display options, while a pinned per-country price is a fixed product value that wins over automatic conversion when rendering the price.
