Overview

Here you will learn how to create currencies in the system. If you are not selling or buying internationally, the default currency of USD has been added for you and no changes will be necessary.

To use multiple currencies, go to Quick menu > Settings > General settings and select the Multi-currency check box.

You can add a currency from the Currencies classifier or manually.

Adding Currencies From Currencies Classifier

The Currencies classifier contains a predefined list of national currencies used across the world.

To add a currency from the Currencies classifier:

  1. Go to Lists & Settings.
  2. Select Currencies.
  3. Click Pick from the classifier...
  4. In the list, choose the required currency.
  5. Click Select.

The selected currency immediately appears in the currencies list.
