♥mdtaylorlrim Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 I would like to change the currency on my site so that it is in dollars. In admin I set the default currency as dollars but the site still loads up in uk pounds. How do I change this? Try in the admin panel, Configuration -> My Store -> Switch to default currency = True I have no experience with this but I believe that osC reads the users browser and uses the users country preferences to set the language, unless you override with the switch above. But I may be mistaken. You can try that and others will likely be along soon to confirm or give you additional changes. Community Bootstrap Edition, Edge Avoid the most asked question.

Guest Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Andrew, In the language file look for this line: // if USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY is true, use the following currency, instead of the applications default currency (used when changing language) define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'USD'); Also change it to GBP if GBP is going to be your default currency.

andyelle1 Posted August 28, 2010 Author Posted August 28, 2010 Thanks for the help. Everything is fine now
AR_1986 Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Hi i have the exact opposite problem, i've set my default currency to GBP which is what i want to appear on my site however EURO still shows as the main currency on my site. I've set the 'switch to default language currency' as true and set the default currency as GBP in 'currencies' but it still shows as EURO as default when you visit the site. I thought by deleting USD from the list GBP would take its place, however EURO has taken its place. Any ideas? thanks.
