How to allow customers to pay in different currencies?
Imagine there are two websites with the same product and the same prices. The first site has only one payment method, for example, by entering the card number manually. And the second one allows you to pay with the help of Apple Pay and Google Pay, and even more – a customer can pay in different currencies.
Which website will get a payment in most cases? Obviously, the second one. Today we will talk about the third mentioned function, the ability to pay in different currencies. With this task, Global Payments can help.
It is a powerful enhancement to your Global Payments gateway giving the customers additional options during the purchase. The payment gateway detects the customer’s credit card currency automatically and immediately calculates the corresponding amount using the dynamic interbank exchange rate.
Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) enables merchants to provide customers purchasing internationally with a final payment amount in the currency of their card. Either the merchant or a third-party Currency Conversion Processor (CCP) provides the interbank exchange rate available at the time of transaction and displays it to the customer. This way, the customer knows the exchange rate before they complete the payment. They can then choose whether to continue with the conversion or pay in the merchant’s base currency.
When the customer is presented with the choice to pay in the currency of their card or the merchant’s base currency, the mark-up percentage and commission applied will be displayed to them. This can alleviate any concerns customers may have about any subsequent processing for foreign-exchange conversion.
