Currency
How currency settings work in Arketa and Stripe.
Your Arketa account charges clients in the currency set under Settings → Payments → Payment Settings → Currency. All prices and reports are in that currency.
Supported currencies
Arketa supports any currency that Stripe supports. Common currencies include USD, CAD, AUD, GBP, EUR, and many others. If you don't choose one, it defaults to USD.
Changing your currency
To change it, go to Settings → Payments, click Edit under Payment Settings, and pick a new Currency. Because existing memberships and your payouts depend on your Stripe account setup, contact support@arketa.com before changing your operating currency.
International clients
If you have clients in other countries paying with foreign cards, Stripe handles the currency conversion. The client pays in whatever currency their card is set to, and you receive the equivalent amount in your account currency (minus any currency conversion fee Stripe charges).
Displaying prices to clients
All prices on your booking page display in your account currency. There's no automatic localization of currency display — clients in different countries will see your prices in your currency.
Setting up your currency
When you connect Stripe during Arketa onboarding, make sure your Stripe account is configured for the correct country and currency before you start accepting payments. See connect Stripe.
