Step-by-step guide
Booking the app
- Book the free >>Currencies CHF & USD app under "All apps and plans". The additional currencies then become immediately available in the pricing plans and you can use them to provide prices.
Important
If you want to enable the additional currencies for prepayments and payments by credit card or SEPA, you need elopage PLUS. Without elopage PLUS, these payment methods would not be displayed until the checkout page. Once a customer then clicks on a pricing plan in CHF, USD, etc., only the payment methods that are possible in this currency are displayed.
Especially with regard to purchasing on account, please note that the customer cannot transfer any money if you do not have elopage PLUS or have not activated the currencies there. The payment methods "Pay now (Sofort)" and "SEPA direct debit" are only possible for transfers in EUR.
