Stripe
When first connecting with Stripe, the default currency will be $USD. This currency can be customized as desired. All courses and bundles will be sold in the currency you set within your Stripe integration settings in Thinkific.
To Change Your Site Currency:
- Go to Settings
- Select the Payments tab
- Select the desired currency under Currency in the Stripe block under Card processing
- Click Save
PayPal
PayPal is usually set up as an additional provider alongside Thinkific Payments or Stripe. Currency cannot be set at the PayPal level, but will take on the same currency you set in Thinkific Payments or Stripe. This means the currency set within Thinkific Payments or Stripe will automatically apply to PayPal as well.
If you are only connected to PayPal, the default currency is USD and cannot be customized.
Important Considerations
- PayPal does not support all of currencies available in Stripe. If you are connected with both Stripe and PayPal, but your chosen currency is only supported in Stripe, your Paypal button will not work. Make sure to check out PayPal's supported currencies here if you plan on connecting Stripe and Paypal to your checkout: PayPal Supported Countries and Currencies
