Invoicing in more than one currency
On Pro, you can create invoices in currencies other than your default. CoreHue keeps each currency's totals separate and does not convert them into your default currency.
Multi-currency invoicing is included on the Pro plan. Free and Plus invoice in your default currency. See CoreHue plans.
Your default currency
CoreHue asks for it once, in a Set your default currency window, the first time you create an invoice or a saved item. It's suggested from your country, and it's used across pricing, documents and reports.
It can't be changed later. The window says so, and there's no setting or support request that changes it afterwards. If you live in one country but bill in another's currency, pick the one you bill in.
You can see it under Settings → Profile. On Pro it reads "Your default currency is fixed. Invoices can still use other currencies." See Your profile settings.
Choosing a currency for an invoice
- Start a new invoice.
- Use the Currency picker at the top right of the form, before you add any lines.
- Add your items and send as usual.
Once a line has content, the picker locks, because the prices on the invoice are in that currency. If you link a booking, the invoice uses the booking's currency instead. Pro can also set a currency on each booking service.
What CoreHue doesn't do
It doesn't convert. There's no exchange rate anywhere. A euro invoice is in euros, with exactly the prices you typed.
Saved items don't convert either. An item holds a plain number. Use it on an invoice in another currency and that number is used as it stands, so check the price.
Totals stay separate
Your invoices list, payments, contact pages and reports keep each currency separate rather than adding them together. Where a figure could cover more than one currency, you pick which one to view.
Taking card payments in other currencies
Card payments have to be in a currency your Stripe account supports. If it doesn't support the invoice's currency, Stripe isn't offered on that invoice, and you'll want a manual payment method like a bank transfer instead. Check this before you quote a client abroad.
Manual methods have no currency restriction. They're your own instructions, so whatever your bank accepts works.
If you move from Pro to Plus or Free
New invoices, proposals and services go back to your default currency. Anything already in another currency keeps it, and stays viewable and payable. When you open one, you'll see a note like "You can keep this invoice in EUR". See Moving to a smaller plan.
What your client sees
Their invoice, emails and payment page all show the invoice's currency. Nothing mentions your default currency or any conversion.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change my default currency?
No. Your CoreHue default currency is fixed once set, which keeps your reports and records consistent. The Pro plan lets you invoice in other currencies while your default currency stays the same.
Do I need Pro to invoice in my own currency?
No. Every CoreHue plan, including Free, invoices in your default currency. Pro is only needed for invoices in other currencies.
Will CoreHue show the amount in my currency too?
No. CoreHue doesn't convert between currencies or show exchange rates. Your Stripe dashboard shows what you received after any conversion Stripe made.
