Title: Currency
Post by: Chico on March 18, 2013, 14:38

Could be a good idea if buyers could see prices in your local currency. Is there a plugin for this?

Shortly into the testing phase I'm sure I'll be able to build it in. It seems like that should be a part of it without a plugin. BTW - congrats on being the first topic poster! :D

One of the disadvantages of Photoshelter is that you can only have one currency site-wide. We have ours set to US dollars, but the pricing popup doesn't make that clear, and the customisation options for that and the shopping cart are very limited. Inevitably a local buyer thought it was NZ$ and found PayPal taking a bigger bite out of their credit card than they expected. Whoops!

Buyer-switchable currencies would be great, but it has to be obvious what is being used.

While we're talking about pricing and currencies, what about sales tax/GST/VAT? This normally has to be added for buyers in the same state/country/union as appropriate.
