Your CRM assigns a default currency automatically, based on the location in your Business Info. For instance, if you’re operating out of the United States, the default currency will be set to USD. This setup is useful for many users, but if you conduct transactions in a different currency, you can easily adjust this setting to fit your needs.
Steps to Change the Currency Type #
If your business needs to operate in a different currency, follow these steps:
- Start by opening the Settings menu, then select Business Info and locate the General Information section.
- Use the Business Currency field to set your new default.
- Once you’ve clicked on your desired currency, click Update Information.
- Finally, refresh the page to ensure everything updates correctly.
Pro Tips for Managing Multiple Currencies #
If you’re dealing with multiple currencies, keep the following tips in mind to avoid confusion and ensure smooth transactions:
- Remember that the CRM maintains the original currency for a product, even if you later update your country settings.
- You can’t mix currencies within a single transaction. If you try, you’ll see an error message.
- To manage products across different currencies, create a distinct product listing for each currency, e.g., “Product A-USD” and “Product A-CAD.”
This setup will help avoid transaction issues and keep everything well-organized.
