There are two (2) ways to choose your local currency:
- When setting up an account with Cleeng, one of the steps is to choose your default payout currency. This is the currency, in which you sell and receive the payout. Please note, that you can’t change the currency once any transactions have been made in this currency. End users’ currencies will be converted to your default currency and your payout invoice will be in your default currency
