By default, the base currency in WHMCS will be USD.
But you can configure the currencies you wish to use in your WHMCS installation in Setup > Payments > Currencies and changed to your local currency or add additional currencies.
This tutorial assumes you've already logged in to your WHMCS admin panel.
The fields for adding or editing a currency are the same. Below is an explanation of each of these:
- Currency Code – This should be the standard 3 letters ISO 4217 code used by gateways
- Prefix – The text/symbol to display before the amount
- Suffix – The text/symbol to display after the amount
- Format – Allows you to choose between the different format styles for currencies
- Base Conv. Rate – The rate amounts in this currency should be divided by to get to the base currency, eg. USD to GBP currently 1.5
Let's learn how to set up additional currencies in WHMCS.
Click the Setup tab.
Click Payments.
Then click Currencies.
To add a new currency, start by entering the standardized Currency Code.
Enter the corresponding prefix, such as a dollar or pound sign.
Enter a suffix so your clients know what currency they're seeing.
The default format is fine, and the Base Conversion Rate to US Dollars can be left blank and updated by WHMCS as we'll see shortly.
Click Add Currency.
That's it!
We've successfully added the Canadian Dollar to our list of currencies.
Click Update Exchange Rates to have WHMCS automatically fill in the current exchange rate.
You can also click to automatically update your product prices to make all prices in WHMCS reflect the current conversion rates.
