Hi

I am using Actinic 6.

If I select the option for prices to appear in both sterling and euros how is the euro price calculated? Does the card issuer convert the sterling price (as happens if prices are in sterling only) or is the price in euros on the site taken as the actual price?

I presume the downside of dual pricing is that I have to monitor the exchange rate daily and chage in the settings tabs? Or can I just leave it and issue a note on the site that euro prices may vary?

Your site will only show the conversion you estimated. The price the customer pays is in your base currency - sterling, and is converted by the payers bank. You can write a statement on your site saying that conversions are for a guide etc...

Thanks Duncan, that clears it up perfectly.
