Currency
Currency is usually selected when you first set up your WildApricot account. During account setup, you are prompted to select a currency as part of the Location settings for your account.
If your currency is not listed among the available options during account setup, you can select CAD or USD for the setup and then adjust your currency after your account is created.
To change your currency setting, select Settings from the sidebar menu in Admin view. In Global settings > Your account, select Payment settings.
Important Note: Do not change your currency setting after you have recorded payments in your WildApricot account. If you change the currency, existing payment records made in the previous currency will not be recalculated and will no longer display correct amounts.
