On the order form there is a section to chose how you want to pay

$60.00 USD ( $5.00 US Dollars per month )
£37.20 GBP ( £3.10 Pound Sterling per month )
€54.00 EUR ( €4.50 Euros per month )
$84.00 AUD ( $7.00 Australian Dollars per month )
$75.00 CAD ( $6.25 Canadian Dollars per month )

RSP are due to release a way of selecting default currency in you control panel.

You could write a script to strip the GBP currency from the order form to keep the prices dynamic with your custom site.

Clients can pay in a currency of their choice on the order page of the reseller templates and the remote order form. However, the US dollar is the only currency that can be shown on the rest of the pages of the reseller templates, since it is the default currency that we use and prices in all other supported currencies are calculated based on market exchange rates plus a small cap to cover conversion costs and possible currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our developers are currently working on an option that will allow resellers to choose a default currency from the list of supported currencies and display the prices on their reseller template in this currency.

Further to what Milen said, when i asked about this he said that it will hopefully be implemented by the end of the first quarter. I hope it does because i can't start advertising mine properly until it's in place as alot of potential customers i have spoken to would prefer the primary currency to be their currency (GB£ in my case), and have decided to give me until the end of the quarter to implement this change otherwise they'll take their custom to another host.

Chameleon, unfortunately there have not been any news from our developers about the progress with the implementation of this option yet.

I can understand that a client form a given country would prefer to have their native currency listed by default on the site, from which they order goods or services online. However, I do not understand why the client would chose not to order from a site, when they already have the option to pay in their native currency, although this option is not the default one. Multi-currency ordering is not a new concept and has successfully exited on the Internet for quite a while now.

Milen, i understnd your reasoning behind this, and i am of the same opinion, but my brother in law and i are trying to secure the local market and branch out from there. (i know this seems to be a bad way to do it from alot of other resellers point of view, but this is way my brother in law wanted to do things, so we're running with it for just now).

Because i live just outside Aberdeen, Scotland; people here seem to have this Britishness about them that if we are offering a product for the local market, they can't seem to fathom why we offer them in dollars rather than pounds. I personally think that it's just because they can't be bothered making a couple of extra mouse clicks to find out for themselves, so the reason behind why i'd like this when it's done is to try and get more sales through making things as easy as possible for them as i can, even though things are really simple as is IMHO.

Just wondering if there's been any word from the development team regarding a definite date that this is going to be up and running on the resellers accounts.

Am i safe to assume that this is currently being tested?

**EDIT**

Just wondering about this, but wouldn't a drop down menu that allowed the user to select the currency be an easier option to implement rather than the current system. This would allow the reseller sites to be more applicable to international trade for those resellers who are on that marketing model.

We don't have release date for this feature. It will be launched after we launch the monthly billing for sure as it depends on that API.
