In this article, we review the Currency Display feature from Checkfront, which allows your Customers to choose which currency they would like to display within Checkfront booking pages. 

This is not to be confused with the currency in which you transact, which is determined by your Base Currency (Manage > Setup > Locale). Currency Display instead simply helps your Customers view amounts in their preferred currency!

The exchange rates used for Currency Display are fixed values that are updated daily on weekdays.

 

 

Setting up Currency Display in Checkfront

Back to top

Currency Tile

  1. First, go to the Integrations section (Manage > Integrations).
  2. Next, navigate directly to the Sales category under which the integration is listed or do a keyword search for Currency Display.
  3. Then, click on the Currency Display tile to initiate setup.

 

Currency Setup

From the Currency Display modal, select one or more currencies to offer to your Customers as display options. Your company's base currency is selected by default and cannot be deselected.

USD - US Dollars, EUR - Euro, GBP - UK Pounds, and CAD - Canadian Dollars are also selected (if not already your base currency) but can be deselected if they don't apply to your Customers.

Once you have chosen the combination of Currency Display options to offer, simply click Activate to save your selections.

Next, we take a look at how this feature works for your Customer.

 

Choosing currency to display

Back to top

Currency Booking Page

Customers can now choose which currency to display on your booking pages, by selecting their preferred currency from the dropdown menu provided. It is as simple as that!

 

Currency Booking Page Modal

Currencies then display as selected throughout the booking process with the exception of the payment page and booking invoice as we explain later.

 

Currency Display Message

A reminder displays within Create Booking that amounts are estimates only and that final transaction amounts are in the company's base currency as opposed to the Customer's selected display currency. 

 

Currency Display Payment

Finally, the booking invoice displays all amounts (Total, Sub-total, Sales Tax, Transaction Fee, Donations...) in your account's base currency, so that the Customer understands the currency in which the payment is transacted.
