How do I change the currency a donor sees?
Last updated 1 min read

Donors choose their own currency: the donation form has a currency dropdown, and its options come from the Accepted Currencies you enable in campaign settings. To change what donors can see and give in, edit that list.
Steps
- Open your campaign and go to Settings → the Financial Goals section.
- Set your Primary Currency — the base currency your goal and totals are counted in.
- Under Accepted Currencies, check the currencies donors may give in. Supported: USD, EUR, GBP, ILS, CAD, RUB. Your primary currency is always enabled and can't be unchecked.
- Save. The donation form's currency dropdown updates immediately.
What the donor experiences
A donor picks, say, ILS and enters ₪500. Under the amount, the form shows what that equals toward your goal ("Equals $147 towards the goal"), converted at current exchange rates. Your dashboard totals always count in your primary currency, so mixed-currency giving still adds up to one clean number.
Note: this controls the donation form. The public donations feed always displays amounts in your campaign's primary currency, whatever currency the donor gave in.
Tip: Enable only currencies your donor base actually uses — a short list converts better than a long one. For how conversion, rates, and settlement work, see Donations in foreign currencies and Goals, currencies, and multi-currency giving.
