Change the Default Currency

Do not attempt to change the default currency if you already have invoice or transaction data in WHMCS.

WHMCS’s multi-currency system lets clients choose from one or more currencies. On a new WHMCS installation, the system default currency is USD. If you have not generated any invoice or transaction data yet, you can change this.

Change the Default Currency

To change the default currency:

1. Edit the default currency.

Go to Configuration () > System Settings > Currencies.

Click the edit icon for the default currency.

The list of currencies in WHMCS

The default currency is the currency that does not display a red delete icon in the list of currencies.

2. Update the currency information.

Enter the new currency code for Currency Code.

You can also update the currency’s Prefix, Suffix, Format, and Base Conv. Rate settings.

For more information about currency configuration settings, see Currencies.

3. Save your changes.

Click Save Changes.
