Can I change the currency from USD to GBP for my Webflow Ecommerce website to accommodate clients in the UK?
TL;DR
- Change Webflow Ecommerce currency to GBP in Project Settings before your first sale, as it's locked afterward.
- Manually update product prices, regional settings (taxes, shipping, content), and ensure Stripe/PayPal accounts are configured for GBP.
You can change the currency in Webflow Ecommerce to GBP to accommodate UK clients, but only for a single currency per project. Webflow doesn't currently support multiple currencies or auto-switching by location.
1. Change the Store Currency
- Go to Project Settings in your Webflow dashboard.
- Select the Ecommerce tab, then click on General under “Settings.”
- In the Currency dropdown, choose British Pound (GBP).
- Save changes.
Important: This setting is locked after your first sale, so set it before launching your store to avoid restrictions.
2. Update Product Pricing
- After changing the store currency, make sure you manually update product prices to reflect correct GBP amounts.
- Webflow doesn't automatically convert currencies—if your products were priced in USD, existing prices will now be labeled as GBP.
3. Update Regional Content
- Adjust shipping methods, tax settings, and copywriting to reflect UK standards (e.g., VAT instead of Sales Tax, “postcode” instead of “ZIP”).
- Make sure to update product descriptions or content where USD pricing is mentioned.
4. Consider Payment Providers
- Webflow integrates with Stripe and PayPal. Both support GBP payments, but ensure your account is correctly configured.
- For Stripe, confirm your business country is the UK and your default currency is GBP.
- For PayPal, double-check your account currency and accepted currencies configuration.
5. No Multi-Currency Support in Native Webflow
- Webflow does not support automatic currency switching based on user location.
- If you need multi-currency features, you’ll need to:
- Use third-party tools like Foxy (alternative to Webflow Ecommerce).
- Or custom-code a multi-store redirect solution based on visitor location.
Summary
You can change your Webflow Ecommerce currency to GBP by going to Project Settings > Ecommerce > Currency, but be aware it only supports one currency per store and must be set before making sales. For clients in the UK, update all regional settings, prices, and payment processors accordingly.
