Dynamic Multi-Currency

Dynamic Multi-Currency (DMC) is for our Europe-based merchants who want to display pricing in currencies other than USD, EUR, or GBP.

Contact Segpay Technical Support to set up Dynamic Multi-Currency (DMC). Ask to be set up with one of these settings described in this document: DMC with Base Currency or DMC with Geo-Targeting.

DMC with Base Currency

The browser displays prices in the currency you assigned to your Price Point.

  • The consumer can choose their local currency from the payment page drop-down menu.

  • You can use the dmcurrency parameter to hide the currency menu or force the payment page to display a specific currency using this format: &dmcurrency=

The above example uses &dmcurrency=hkd to display the pay page default currency in Hong Kong Dollars (HKD). The consumer can change this currency using the currency drop-down menu on the payment page.

DMC with Geo-Targeting

The browser displays prices in the currency based on the consumer's region defined by the IP address.

  • If Segpay doesn't support the currency for a given region, the currency will default to what you set up for the Price Point.

  • The consumer can choose another currency from the currency drop-down menu on the payment page.

  • You can use the dmcurrency parameter to hide the currency menu or force the payment page to display a specific currency.

Viewing Data about DMC Transactions

When viewing data about DMC transactions, amounts are reported in your base currencies. For example, if your base currency in a price point is USD, but a Canadian consumer changes to CAD and pays the CAD value, transaction reports will reflect the USD equivalent of that transaction.
