Hello!!!
We have a new super cool feature that you will love.
From today your customers can choose the currency of the ads.
This means that if you have a marketplace and you want your customers to sell in different currencies now they can.
For example, if you have a marketplace for English speakers may be interesting to allow your customers to sell in USD, GBP, CAD, and AUD or any other currency you may consider.
On the checkout page no matter, if you use Paypal or Stripe the amount, will be in the currency selected and the payment will be verified in that currency.
Before you offer several currencies: what Stripe and PayPal accept in 2026
Per-listing currencies are still available. The setting is now documented as the currency special custom field in the Yclas docs on special custom fields. You create a Select custom field named currency and list three-letter ISO codes as its values (for example USD, GBP, CAD, AUD). Sellers then choose a currency for each listing, its price is shown in that currency, and Buy Now payments are requested in it. Listings with no currency selected use your site's default currency. The docs add one important rule: check that your payment gateway accepts every currency you offer.
That check matters more than it seems, because the two most used gateways differ a lot:
| Stripe | PayPal | |
|---|---|---|
| Currencies you can charge in | Over 135 | 24 |
| Restrictions | The currencies available depend on your Stripe account's country, and American Express does not support some of them | BRL, CNY and MYR only work for PayPal accounts in that country |
| Currencies without decimals | JPY, KRW and others are zero-decimal | HUF, JPY and TWD have no decimals |
| Minimum charge | 0.50 USD, 0.50 EUR, 0.30 GBP, 0.50 CAD, 0.50 AUD, 50 JPY (charges that are converted must meet the minimum of your payout currency) | None listed on PayPal's currency page |
| Cost when money is converted | An extra conversion fee whenever the charge currency differs from your payout currency (the rate depends on your country) | A 4.00% spread on top of the exchange rate for most conversions, plus 1.50% for international commercial payments (US rates) |

How to choose which currencies to offer
- Offer only what your sellers need. A long currency list makes filtering and price comparison harder for buyers. On a site for English speakers, USD, GBP, CAD and AUD usually cover it.
- Only offer currencies your gateway accepts. If a currency is not in the Stripe or PayPal list for your account, buyers cannot pay in it.
- Watch zero-decimal currencies. A price like 1,999.50 cannot be charged in JPY or KRW on Stripe, or in JPY, HUF or TWD on PayPal. Ask sellers to use whole numbers in those currencies.
- Keep low prices above the minimums. On Stripe, an item priced below the minimum (for example under 0.30 GBP or 50 JPY) cannot be paid online.
- Tell sellers about conversion costs. If a seller's account is in a different currency, part of each sale goes to conversion fees. Selling in the currency of their own bank account avoids that.
- Test a purchase in each currency in your gateway's sandbox or test mode before you announce it.
This gives flexibility that not any other software in the market has and it's all for you already available on yclas.com!
