Excuse me for the bad english..
I'm yet to launch an e-commerce website this week,i'm confused on the currency that i would like to trade. The target customers are from UK and Other Europe Countries. Right now i have USD($) in Default! So,i thought GBP or Euro will convert better because of the targeted countries. Can you suggest me the currency to trade in GBP,USD or Euro?
#euro #gbp #usd

      In all cases of doubt, I think it's best to stick to the US dollar. It's the currency of the internet.

      Few (if any) Europeans - not even those in the Eurozone - will react adversely to seeing online prices in $$, because it's what we're all used to seeing anyway. On the other hand, giving prices in Euros will cause a problem to some non-European visitors, and perhaps to many US visitors.

      If in doubt, I think US$ is your safe choice.

        Alexa, I'm going to use PPC and target UK and EURO currencies. I thought the conversion would be better if i choose something between Euro and GBP !
        Thanks,i'll stick to USD.

    It is best that your shopping cart can allow the user to choose the display currency. As far as default trading currency goes, you should realize that additional credit card charges may be incurred by the user if the transaction is not in their own currency. You can take it further by having different versions of your site from customers from different countries.
