Customer Language |
This field sets the language and currency punctuation that customers will see in your store.
This setting only affects the language that your customers see while browsing your store pages. You must also set the language for the shopping cart and order form by going to the Commerce Center, selecting Store Setup, and then changing the language setting on the Store Currency and Locale screen.
Note that changing the customer language resets all of the fields in all of the store text screens. If you have customized any of those fields, your changes will be overwritten. |

Currency (primary) |
Select the primary currency for use in your store. This field controls the currency symbol and its placement in prices.
|
||
Currency (alternate) |
If you want to display prices in your store in two currencies, select a second currency here. Selecting a currency in this field activates the two-currency feature. Note that prices and totals on the order form are only calculated and shown in the first currency. |
||
Exchange Rate |
Enter the exchange rate to convert product prices in the primary currency to prices in the alternate currency. When you create or modify a product, you enter the price in the primary currency only. ShopSite multiplies that price by the exchange rate that you set here to determine the price in the alternate currency. |
