When in the “Payment” tab, you can see the following section:
As you can see, depending upon the payment, the customer’s choice of currency will differ:
- Authorize.net, Bank wire, Cash-Ticket, Check, DIBS, Moneybookers, Ogone, Paysafecard: click on the boxes corresponding with the currencies that you authorize. If you accept several of them, the customer will be able to choose among them at checkout.
- Cash on delivery: The customer will be able to pay only in the currency that he has selected in the store.
- Google Checkout, Hipay, and Paypal: You can choose one accepted currency (among those installed in your store), and allow each customer to pay with the currency that they will have chosen in the store.
Another option is that you can only accept payment with the store’s default currency (which you can set in the "Payment" tab, "Currencies" sub-tab, "Currency options" setting).
Payment Module Restrictions on Groups
You can limit the choice of payment method depending on the group of customers.
For instance, let’s say you would prefer that individuals pay with PayPal, Moneybookers and Hipay, while professionals only pay by bank wire. Depending on the type of customer and on your choices, customers will only pay using the methods that match with your decisions.
Payment Module Restrictions on Countries
You can limit the choice of payment methods according to your customer’s country of origin. For instance, in France, Spain, and Germany, you can accept all payment methods, while customers in Italy, the United Kingdom or Switzerland can only pay by bank wire.
The choice of payment modules according to country is found under the “Payment” tab, in the "Countries restrictions" section.
Find the country in the alphabetical list, and check the boxes to select or deselect the payment methods you want to make available to customers from that country. Once all of your settings have been configured, click on the “Save restrictions” button, found at the bottom of the table.
