You can configure the currencies you wish to use in your WHMCS installation in Setup > Currencies

By default the base currency will be USD. This can be edited and should be changed to your home currency if not USD. You can then add additional currencies to run alongside that.

Adding/Editing a Currency

The fields for adding or editing a currency are the same. Below is an explanation of each of these:

• Currency Code – This should be the standard 3 letter ISO 4217 code used by gateways
• Prefix – The text/symbol to display before the amount
• Suffix – The text/symbol to display after the amount
• Format – Allows you to choose between the different format styles for currencies
• Base Conv. Rate – The rate amounts in this currency should be divided by to get to the base currency, eg. USD to GBP currently 1.5

Auto Updating Rates

WHMCS has the built in capability to retrieve and update the base conversion rate values daily for the following currencies:

USD, EUR, JPY, BGN, CZK, DKK, EEK, GBP, HUF, LTL, LVL, PLN, RON, SEK, CHF, NOK, HRK, RUB, TRY, AUD, BRL, CAD, CNY, HKD, IDR, INR, KRW, MXN, MYR, NZD, PHP, SGD, THB & ZAR

You can manually request the rates to be synced using the Update Exchange Rates button on the currencies page or you can configure it to be automated with the daily cron in Config > Automation Settings.

Auto Updating Prices

WHMCS also provides the ability to have the prices in currencies other than the base rate automatically updated based on the rates set. Again you can invoke that manually from the currencies page with the “Update Product Prices” button or you can have it run after the daily rates update in Config > Automation Settings.

You will only be allowed to setup the number of different currencies that your license allows. If you wish to upgrade the number of currencies you can run concurrently you can do that from our client area.

There is no limit on number of different currencies: Here's what WHMCS support staff had to say:

There is no limit on currencies. This was a plan originally, but has since been removed.

Specifying Currency in a link

You can link to the order form with a specific currency by simulating what the form shown for currency selection does - eg. cart.php?currency=1 cart.php?currency=2
