Creating a currency

Creating a currency is only available on the root reseller level. A new currency is always created for all resellers, including their Customer Store (see Managing Customer Store currency). A created currency cannot be deleted, but it can be edited (see Viewing and updating a currency).

To create a currency:

  1. Sign in to the Operator Control Panel on the root reseller level.

  2. Go to Currencies (see Navigation). The list of currencies is displayed (see Viewing the list of currencies).

  3. Click Create. The New currency page is displayed.

  4. In the Currency code field, enter a three-letter alphabetic code (ISO 4217) not used by any currency of the reseller.

  5. In the Precision field, enter the number of decimal places for currency subunits. For example, for cents, enter 2. If a currency does not have subunits, enter 0.
  6. In the Unit field, enter the name of the currency units displayed in the platform. Example: $
  7. In the Decimal separator list, select the decimal separator: dot or comma. Example of displaying: 99.99 or 99,99.
  8. In the Delimiter list, select the separator for groups of thousands: space or comma. Example of displaying: 10 000 or 10,000.
  9. In the Display format list, select the display order of units and amount, where %n is an amount, and %u is units:
    • %n%u. Example of displaying: 100$
    • %n %u. Example of displaying: 100 $
    • %u%n. Example of displaying: $100
    • %u %n. Example of displaying: $ 100
  10. Click Create. The updated list of currencies is displayed. The currency is also created for all resellers, including their Customer Store (see Управление валютой Customer Store).
