Setting Up Payment Currencies for Markets

When selling internationally through Markets, you can customize the payment currency for each available payment method by country or region within every enabled market. This helps you deliver a more localized payment experience that aligns with customer expectations and reduces friction during checkout.

This article explains what you need to prepare before configuring market-specific payment currencies and walks you through the setup process step by step.

Prerequisites for Setting Up Payment Currencies in Markets

All payment methods available for Markets are determined by your store’s global Payments settings.

Before payment methods can be automatically displayed and preferred payment currencies can be configured for each market, make sure you have completed the basic payment setup in the Payments module. Any payment method that is not enabled there will not appear as an option in Markets.

For detailed payment setup instructions, please refer to "Getting Started with Payment Setup on SHOPLINE." This article serves as a starting point to help you understand the payment options available on SHOPLINE and directs you to the appropriate guides for setting up specific payment methods.

Configuring Market-Specific Payment Currencies

Once your global payment methods are set up in the Payments module, the payment methods available for each country or region within a market will be displayed automatically. You can then configure the payment currency for each available payment method.

Understanding Currencies in Markets

Before setting up payment currencies for markets, it’s important to understand the different currency types used by SHOPLINE. When configuring market-specific payments, the following currency types may apply:

• Store Currency: The default currency of your store. This currency is always available as a fallback option.
• Market Base Currency: A currency you define for a specific market. It is commonly used for markets targeting a specific country or region.
• Local Currency: The currency of a customer’s country or region, automatically determined when local currency pricing is enabled.

Steps to Configure Market-Specific Payment Currencies

Follow the steps below to configure payment currencies for a specific market:

1. From your SHOPLINE admin panel, go to Settings > Markets, then select the market you want to configure. 

   

2. On the market settings page, click Payments.

   

3. For each country or region included in the market, click the entry to view the available payment methods. Only payment methods supported in that country or region will be displayed.

   

4. For each available payment method, select the applicable payment currency. The currency options displayed here may vary depending on your market type and pricing display settings in the Products and Pricing module:

   Note: The currency options available in each market depend on the market type (single-country or multi-country/region) and your pricing and currency settings.
