# Configure currencies

To give customers the ability to view product prices in a currency that is meaningful to them, you must configure currencies for your storefront site. For example, you might have a North American storefront that accepts payments in USD and CAD, and a European website that accepts EUR, GBP, and USD. You would then set up a currency set for each storefront unless multiple storefronts use the same currencies, in which case they can share the same currency set.

> [!note]
> Orders placed prior to a change of currency are displayed in the currency selected when the original order was placed.

<summary><h2>Define the currency set</h2></summary>

Currency sets are used, for example, when you have a North American storefront that accepts payments in USD and CAD and a European website that accepts EUR, GBP, and USD. In this case, you set up one currency set (USD, CAD) for the NA storefront and a second currency set (EUR, GBP, USD) for the European website.

1. In the Content Editor, navigate to *sitecore/Commerce/Commerce Control Panel/Shared Settings/Currency Settings*.
2. Right-click **Currency Sets** and select **Insert, Currency Set**.
3. Specify a name for the currency set and click **OK**.
4. On the **Content** tab, in the **Commerce Control Panel** section, double-click the currencies you want included in the set so that they appear in the Selected list.
5. In the **Default Currency** field, select the default currency.

<summary><h2>Adjust currency display settings</h2></summary>

You can specify display settings for currencies. If no display settings are configured, the default settings specified in the .NET culture definitions.

Display settings are defined in the Commerce Control Panel (*/sitecore/Commerce/Commerce Control Panel/Storefront Settings/Storefronts/<site>/Currencies Display Adjustments*). Each currency has a default currency symbol and display format but you can also define a symbol and format in the Commerce Control Panel section of the Content tab.

To define currency settings in the Control Panel:

<summary><h2>Associate a currency set with a storefront</h2></summary>

In order for a storefront to display the currency you need, you must associate the currency set with it.

> [!note]
> Ensure you have associated the storefront site with a Commerce Control Panel. To verify, go to *sitecore/Content/<tenant>/<site>/Settings/Commerce/Control Panel Configuration*.

1. In the Content Editor, navigate to *sitecore/Commerce/Commerce Control Panel/Storefront Settings/Storefronts/<site>*.
2. Select **Currency Configuration**.
3. On the **Content** tab, in the **Commerce Control Panel** section, select the currency set you want to associate with the storefront.
4. Save your changes.

The last step is to [add the currency to the price cards](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/users/103/sitecore-experience-commerce/work-with-price-cards.html) for the sellable items using the Sitecore Experience Commerce Business Tools.
