CyberSource: How do currencies work?

Modified on Mon, 29 Mar, 2021 at 2:00 PM

Transactions are processed in the base currency for the website customers are purchasing from. Any alternate currencies selected on the frontend are converted to the website’s base currency by Magento’s built-in currency handling, based on conversion rates provided by a web service configured in your Magento Admin Panel.


Magento allows for a separate base currency per website, if configured to do so. In order to define explicit prices in multiple currencies, each currency must have its own website where it is set as the base currency. All currency setup is configured outside of our payment extension settings.


Your CyberSource account must allow transactions to be processed in your website’s base currency(s).
