Info

We recommend merchants changing their base currency from USD to fully test it out against your gateway.

  • Your payment gateway must support the base currency if it is not USD.
  • You are responsible for performing complete end to end testing of your e-Commerce store to make sure everything works properly with a non-USD base currency before going live!
  • Some features inside UltraCart may still display a dollar sign even after you change your base currency to a Non-USD setting.

titleUsing CurrencyCode on buy links/ buy form code

You can also manually assign a currency code via the "CurrencyCode" parameter.

Example on a buy link URL assigning the Australian dollar "AUD":

http://secure.ultracart.com/cgi-bin/UCEditor?merchantId=DEMO&ADD=BONE&CurrencyCode=AUD

Same example using the buy form code, using a hidden input field:

  <input type="hidden" name="CurrencyCode" value="AUD" />
