TL;DR: Key Points
- Your store's currency is linked to the payment processor you've connected
- Only one currency can be selected per store
- Change currency before selling any gift cards to avoid restrictions
- To see more currencies, try reconnecting your payment processors
- Multiple currency displays require manual workaround techniques
Understanding Currency Settings in Squarespace
When you connect a payment processor to your Squarespace site (such as Squarespace Payments, Stripe, or PayPal), your online store will display prices in the currency linked to your processor. This keeps things simple by aligning your store's currency with your bank account and avoiding conversion fees.
When and How to Select a Currency
To keep your finances running smoothly, pick a currency that matches the bank account linked to your payment processor. Here's how to set or change your store's currency:
- First, set up your chosen payment processor if you haven't already
- Go to the Store payments panel within Squarespace
- Click on 'Store Currency' to access the currency options
- Select your preferred currency from the dropdown menu
- Remember to save your changes
Limitations and Considerations
Once you start selling gift cards, your store's currency setting locks in and cannot be changed (this includes test orders as well).
Pixelhaze Tip: Always double-check your currency settings before selling gift cards to avoid future headaches.
Advanced Currency Handling
For those needing to display multiple currencies, Squarespace doesn't offer direct support for this. A practical workaround is to include additional pricing lists in different currencies within your product descriptions.
FAQs
Can I display prices in multiple currencies on Squarespace?
While Squarespace shops are limited to a single active currency, you can manually list alternative currencies within individual product details.
Is it possible to change my store's currency after selling a gift card on Squarespace?
No, once a gift card is sold (including via test transactions), the currency setting becomes permanent and cannot be changed.
What should I do if I'm not seeing all available currencies when changing my store's currency on Squarespace?
You might need to disconnect and then reconnect your Stripe or PayPal account in the Payment Options panel to refresh the list of available currencies.
Jargon Buster
- Squarespace Payments: Squarespace's built-in feature for handling online transactions directly on your site
- Stripe and PayPal: External services that process payments online, connecting buyers with sellers safely
- Currency: The designated money type (like USD or EUR) accepted in transactions within your store
Wrap-up
Changing your Squarespace store's currency is straightforward as long as you align it with your connected payment processor and sort this out before selling any gift cards. Getting these settings right ensures your eCommerce runs smoothly and keeps both you and your customers happy. For better customer experience, use the workaround to display prices in multiple currencies where necessary. Happy selling!
