martyoo Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi all, Currently the default currency for my shop is Euro and I want to change that to USD. What I am worried about is that when I change the default currency it will wipe out or reset all my products prices or will it just change the currency symbol and leave the existing prices as is? Would appreciate some advise on the above. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Patron Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 just as it warns you at the default price setting, you will need to adjust the prices for your products to reflect the new currency. Curios as to why you are going to USD from euros. Is it because of the weird decimal 'cents' after currency conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyoo Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Thanks for the reply. The vast majority of our customers are buying in USD so it just makes it a bit easier for them if the default currency is USD. It should have been done from the start.

El Patron Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 you will need to change the prices of all your products and attributes to reflect USD...there may be other prices like shipping etc... but the thing to remember is that all the price values you entered were for your existing default currency, when you change the default...just like it says next to the default currency configuration...you will need to change those values... good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Patron Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) well you could buy my geo targeting pro module...then you can configure it to set the eeuu visitors to dollars...basically you can set the currency by country...but also set specific prices for your products by country as well...it's da bomb it enables a lot more...see my signature then you can keep your euro prices...
