Currency code not showing up on the cart

[hghorbanian]

Hi,

I see there is a topic on this issue but it refers to the coupon code not currency. The cart doesn’t show in which currency the price is. I have check all option and in the Setting ‘USD’ is entered at the top

Please help

Thanks

Hi,

Are you wanting to display something like $US100?

If so that’s easy.

Just go to your eStore settings page and in the section called “General eStore Settings” put “$US” or whatever you want in the field called “Currency Symbol”.

The “Currency Code” is used to submit the payment information to the payment gateway. The “Currency Symbol” is used for display purpose.

I would like to add a few more resources to this forum post. You can see all the supported currency codes here:

Note: The most common mistake with the currency code is people using the Canadian dollar use CAN instead of CAD. CAD is the proper PayPal currency code for Canada.

Thanks Peter and Ivy for you input.

I thought of doing it the way Peter said in the beginning and eventually done it. I think the correct/standard format of showing currency code, symbol and price is this -> Symbol+price+currency code => $10.99 USD, CAD,

but I am not sure. I am ok the way it is, though
