Good to know

Currency conversion is based on the primary currency in the shop regardless of the number of sites (see FAQ below). In our example, the primary currency is set to USD with a rate of 1, as our price in USD doesn't need conversion (because 1*1 = 1). The rate would be set to 0.80 in GBP, as 1 USD is equivalent to 0.80 GBP.
Had it been Euro (EUR), the rate would be set to 1,07 (based on todays currency rate) which is the equivalent of 1 Euro in USD.
