Help center on selling in multiple currencies

Let’s say I’m a merchant that sells handbags and I’m located in the US, and I’ve set up my online store. Even though it’s based on the US to also be configured for Canada maybe France and the UK. Let’s actually drill into France for a moment here and in France, I want to enable the French language as well as English and I’ll set up the currency to be euros local for Europe.
That’s basically all you need to do from the merchant store setup. Now let’s use that example again Vanessa that you’re living in France and you’re really excited to buy a new handbag. So you go on to Google and you start to do a search for finding an awesome cool bag or awesome new handbag. And the first thing that comes up potentially is going to be my merchant store advertising handbags to you.
Or maybe it just comes up as a regular search results. So you click on that. And now you’re going onto my merchant store. But you’re not seeing the US version of it. You’re going to see that sort of show up in the local thought FR domain you’re going to see it potentially in French or English depending on the preferences that you have. But all the prices that you’re going to see there. And they’re going to be in euros not in US dollars.
I was going to say, I kind of wish I was in France trying to buy a handbag. But anyways, let’s keep going. So if you’re buying this this handbag. What and I’m getting charged you know one of the things that we hate a lot. I think when we’re buying online, all of us know this. What am I getting charged in that scenario where I am in France buying a handbag.
Yeah, I mean, isn’t it super frustrating when you’re buying something and you think you’re paying in a currency and then you see the exchange rate on your credit card charge. Yeah The whole point behind what we’re building here is that that’s not going to happen. So when you make that purchase in your local euro currency for this really awesome handbag that I’m selling you’re going to get charged in euros. But I, on the other hand, as a merchant I’m still going to see all those sales in my local US dollars so I don’t need to deal with worrying about all the different currencies my buyers are buying products with. I just get to deal with the primary currency that I run my business in.
