International currency vs us dollars

Is there a way to set my booth such that prices appear in US Dollars no matter who is looking at it?

I have a customer in the UK who has told me she sees the prices in GBP I don’t mind the conversion fee so much as that the difference in the value of the dollar changes my prices…sometimes enough that I make no profit!

Thank you!

You can tell the buyer to go to the bottom of the page and click on the link that [URL removed]

Click on link and pick US for US view…

However, to answer your [URL removed] No, they will always get the view according to their location…nothing you can do about that…and even seeing it in US dollars does not mean they will automatically pay in USD

However, if you do not want to deal with conversion, then set your paypal and/or CBA set-up for “Accept US currency only” and the buyer will have to deal with converting currency and any fees

I am in the Uk but all my prioces are showing as dollars? how can i do the opposite ot the above and set mine to all show in GBP

Thank you, ccmom, I will tell my current customer that :)

I can’t get anywhere with Paypal. I wrote and asked why I was getting GBP when I had US currency only selected and they assured me it wouldn’t happen again. So next day, of course, it happened again :(
