Currencies

Order Management supports 128 currencies for processing orders, payments, and invoices, and for item pricing, reports, email, and collections. Currency refers to the money or 'medium of exchange' used in a country, such as U.S. Dollars, British Pound Sterling, or European Euros. Currencies that can be used in Order Management can be specified and enabled. A maximum of 10 currencies can be shown at a time on the Currency page. Use the scroll bar when there are more than 10 currencies.

You can specify and enable the available currencies in Customer Service Center (Currencies dropdown list) when creating an order or retrieving pricing information from Salesforce B2C Commerce. The use of multiple currencies is optional. When multiple currencies are enabled, the currency used for payment on an order can be changed in the Customer Service Center.
