How to Create Currencies

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 279 views

Zoho Commerce lets you add extra currencies alongside your base currency, so you can invoice and accept payments in a customer’s local currency. This is useful for UK businesses trading internationally.

Viewing your base currency

  1. Go to Settings > Currencies.

Your base currency is set automatically from your business country, for example GBP for a UK business.

How to add a new currency

  1. Go to Settings > Currencies.
  2. Click + New Currency.
  3. Select the Currency Code, such as USD or EUR. The currency symbol fills in automatically, and you can customise it if needed.
  4. Choose the number of Decimal Places and your preferred comma and decimal Format.
  5. Click Save.

The new currency then appears in your list and is available to customers.

How to edit an existing currency

  1. Go to Settings > Currencies.
  2. Hover over a currency and click Edit.
  3. Adjust the symbol, decimals or format, then click Save.

Tips for UK businesses

  • Keep number formats consistent with UK conventions, for example £1,234.56.
  • Exchange rates update automatically, but you can enter manual rates if you would rather fix your pricing.
  • Use separate client profiles rather than invoicing the same client in several currencies from one profile.
  • Check your Zoho Commerce plan for how many currencies you can activate.

Frequently asked questions

What is my base currency set to?

Zoho Commerce sets your base currency automatically based on your business country, for example GBP for a UK business.

Can I use live exchange rates?

Yes, exchange rates update automatically by default, but you can enter manual rates if you prefer fixed pricing.

Should I invoice one client in several currencies?

It is better to use separate client profiles for that, rather than mixing currencies on one profile.
