Changing Currency

Pablo

I have two questions (One is a request):

1. Is there a reason why, when setting up currency, the site defaults to US Dollars when my first entry is GPB?

2. Is there any way to AUS/NZ/CDN to the $ sign to not confuse the customer when changing currency? (See your own sample)

The default currency can be set in either a PayPal button or eCommerce event. Because that determines the base price.
The order of the currencies in the dropdown menu does not affect this.

There is no standard option to add a currency sign.

@zinc just for testing simply just paste in a blank page between the <body></body> to see it work when selecting the currency from the dropdown.

Code: Select all

<select id="currency-select" onchange="updatePrices()">
    <option value="USD">USD</option>
    <option value="CAD">CAD</option>
    <option value="AUD">AUD</option>
   <option value="NZD">NZD</option>
</select>

<span class="price" data-amount="49.99">US$49.99</span>

<script>
const symbols = {
    USD: 'US$',
    CAD: 'CA$',
    AUD: 'AU$',
    NZD: 'NZ$'
};

function updatePrices() {
    const selectedCurrency = document.getElementById('currency-select').value;
    const symbol = symbols[selectedCurrency];
    
    document.querySelectorAll('.price').forEach(el => {
        const amount = el.getAttribute('data-amount');
        el.textContent = symbol + amount;
    });
}
</script>
