No, the base currency of the marketplace does not directly affect how sellers are paid. It’s mainly used for consistency — ensuring that product pricing, commission calculations, and tax rules follow a single standard throughout the platform.
For example, if the marketplace’s base currency is GBP:
- Sellers will see their order totals, commissions, and earnings displayed in GBP in their dashboard.
- Payouts, however, are sent in the currency supported by the seller’s connected bank or wallet account.
If a currency conversion is needed, it happens automatically during the payout process. The final amount may vary slightly due to exchange rates and any fees applied by the payment provider.
